Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Jon Favreau recommends it
It's out next week, but I just read the long essay um by the author in the New York Times, uh John Fabian Wit, the radical fund, how a band of visionaries and a million dollars upended America about a very wealthy philanthropist who decided to uh donate all of his money to progressive causes back in the 1920s and sort of seated the ground for a lot of the most progressive policies

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
