I am sure NPP needed your donation as well.

I just donated to Naughty by Nature

I donated to OPP. I'm down with it.

I've changed my name to NPP.

Awaiting my check!

You snarky, snarky bitches. Repent, and donate to NPR too!

Were you looking for PNP and found this by mistake?

Nocturnal Party Play

There was a time when we could preview our posts to avoid typos. Muriel, please bring back this feature.

Trump just signed an executive order to cut federal funding to NPR and to PBS.

So, you'll be hearing many more pleas for donations from your NPR and PBS stations in the coming weeks and months.

Donations to New York Public Radio (WNYC, WQXR) dropped when it was revealed the CEO made $800,000 and morning host, $400,000, while we're told money is for programming from NPR, BBC, and others.

To be fair, I don't think I know anyone in NYC who doesn't make at least $400,000, so that's not a crazy number for a morning host.

r15, let me introduce you to some people in publishing in NYC. Let me introduce you to some journalists in NYC.

People employed in publishing and journalism in 2025? They should just be grateful they still have jobs this week.

Thank you for donating, OP. It’s time that donors took full responsibility for keeping it on the air. The people who choose to listen to it should be the ones to keep it afloat.

Please explain that to Musk and Bezos...I'm tired of my tax dollars in any way subsidizing vanity trips into space

Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they don't exist. I know plenty of people in Manhattan (not to mention the other four boroughs) who don't make anywhere near that much.

You are living in some sort of weird bubble or you're in a complete fantasy world.

[quote] According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates, the average household income in New York City was [bold]$127,894.[/bold] “Household income,” as measured by the Census Bureau, takes into account the income of everyone who lives inside a single housing unit. This includes anyone from individuals, groups of roommates and families. Keep in mind that this figure represents the gross amount, before taxes and other deductions.

That's nowhere near $400K.

Keep in mind that's the median for the household income, which includes everyone living in a household. This is not based on what [italic]individuals[/italic] earn, and many households in NYC have more than one income earner.

My check donation paid to the order of ‘NIP’ just bounced! Thank you for helping me to “spellcheck” that, OP! 🖊️

"the average household income in New York City was $127,894."

But that includes, god forbid, Staten Island and the outer boroughs where DLers would never tread. I was only talking about Manhattan and perhaps the decent parts of Brooklyn.

And certainly not the Bronix.
