Banks Post Newsletter | July 16, 2025

Volume 1, issue #8

Good evening, Banks! We are working on stabilizing our newsletter schedule. There are some pretty significant backend changes happening at the Banks Post and our sister publication the Gales Creek Journal (We're in the process of modernizing eight years of hacked together digital infrastructure to help this editor and publisher not lose his sanity and be able to work more efficiently) so please stand by.

There is a lot going on, and I've written about some of it. Let's dive in.
