Hey everyone!

As many of you know, a few weeks ago we moved to a new website. This means that we can now do all sorts of fancy stuff — customize web pages, newsletters, experiment with partners, tag and archive our newsletters, and lots of other advanced publishing tricks.

One of the coolest things it did is allow us to expand our subscription offerings and customize them.

So today, for the first time ever, we're offering yearly subscriptions at 20% off. We're calling it our "October surprise," named after the major news events that typically happen in late October before an election. But the offer is only good in October, for the next 48 hours, and for the first 50 people who claim it.

Becoming a subscriber unlocks all sorts of new features:

  • You get Friday editions, like today's post (dropping at 12pm EST) about how to talk to people whose politics you dislike.
  • Other Friday editions include personal essays, original interviews with people in the political world, deep dives on topics readers request, and a lot more. Subscribing gets you access to our archive of 500+ posts.
  • You get access to our comments section to interact with other Tangle readers.
  • You get 6 months free to World Politics Review, a global news outlet in the ethos of Tangle.

Perhaps most importantly, you are supporting an independent, ad-free, non-partisan news outlet that has no investors and no outside influence. We are only supported by you. Remember, we only ask you to subscribe because our subscriptions are the only way we make money — it's how we stay independent.

We have no idea if we'll ever do this again or if it will work, but we wanted to give it a shot now because, well... we can!

If you have any questions, let us know. And if you subscribe before 12 p.m. EST, you'll get today's subscriber's only edition! If you subscribe after that, you can access it simply by going to our website:

And remember, this ends Sunday night!

Best,

Isaac Saul & the Tangle team
