The New Yorker wonders:
My children know how to print their letters. And they type frighteningly well. Still, I can't escape the conviction that cursive—writing it and knowing how to read it—represents some universal value. I'm not the only one who thinks so. Every year, there are worried articles about the decline of cursive and its omission from school curricula. And there's a backlash, one that I secretly cheer for. When I read that Washington state is now considering Senate Bill 6469, "an act related to requiring that cursive writing be taught in common schools," I gave a little fist pump in the air.
Cursive and handwriting are dead. Communication of the future will be done with pure emoticons.

Cheap protein. Save the beef for the 1% who "deserve it" more than us proles.
Don't overlook competition. Its a progressive pissing contest to see which journalism grad can get more people to love eating bugs. That loser only got 30K clicks on his bug story I'm gonna get 40K clicks at least.

You might have something there. I would guess the competition is between publishers, though, more than the journalists. It's probably from bets they made at cocktail parties on the New York/Washington party circuit.
Washington DC delenda est.
