The Second Question
A one-page-a-day editorial project that takes a news story and asks what it is doing to the person reading it.
Field notes
The project organizes its archive as numbered daily issues rather than a conventional chronological news feed. Visible entries move from home-insurance premiums and concealed household money decisions to job anxiety, parental reachability, inflation, and political estrangement. A subscription form offers delivery once every 24 hours, while the page explicitly says there are no notifications, tracking pixels, or address sharing. The homepage also includes a terms link and a disclaimer that its material is not medical, legal, or financial advice.
