I'm penciling in a new #Informer issue for November of 2026. The focus will be the #OrganizedCrime #history of #LasVegas, Nevada. If you're interested in contributing an article to the issue - and can have it done by late summer - please let me know.

#Hershey promises to stop "fudging" with its recipes after being called out by #Reese's grandson. (Guessing that means prices will increase and/or portion sizes will decrease.)

#MLB opening contract proposal (to start 2027) includes $245.3 million salary cap and $171.2 million floor, equal sharing of all media revenue. There's a suggestion that local-team TV blackouts will be resolved.
Interesting discussion of the types and levels of #radiation experienced by #astronauts.
It may not seem like it, but I hear it's #baseball season.
I'm looking for well-researched, well-written articles on the history of #OrganizedCrime in #LasVegas for an issue of #Informer to be published in November. Please get in touch if you're interested in contributing.
