­xkcd thread

For a while I had high hopes for What If by Randall of XKCD, but then he moved that particular column to the paywalled NYT without even mentioning it, just radio silence for years until I found it out randomly, and I’m not going to subscribe just to see if his well has run dry yet and I sort of resent him just stopping writing with no explanation.

Just saw this on another thread, and I have to say “whaaaat?” I had no idea What If still existed at the New York Times. Why isn’t that obvious on Randall’s website? That makes me very sad, for some reason.
