Unusual compliment(s) you've rec'd? Tag any 3 ppl.

A librarian friend of mine once told me I had "a junkyard mind" -- full of miscellaneous who-knows-whats all scattered about, but I could retrieve them at need.

The NYT is doing sanewashing the right way.

NYT wrote a 2,400 word story abt Todd Blanche without mentioning that he personally ordered the arrest of Newark Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social, and as such is deeply implicated in @replamonica.bsky.social case.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/u...
The front page of a NYT story, titled, "Part Enabler, Part Buffer: the Bind of the Justice Dept's No. 2"

A picture shows Blanche partly visible behind a journalist's raised hand.

Whatever story they want to run, they have the resources to run it, and to run it as well as they choose to.

This is what they WANT to run.

They do this type of thing because this is the type of thing they want to do.

The FNYT has what amounts to infinite reputational wealth in their field. It's possible that there is literally no journalist alive who wouldn't at least consider dropping everything, instantly, to accept a job at the NYT.

also "retribution" implies he was wronged in some way by the people he's persecuting, subtly justifying what he's doing. bsky.app/profile/reun...

Trump straight up murdering people in the Caribbean and the NYT writes this
joesdog.bsky.social
Periodic reminder, now in its 20th year (at least):

They hate us and want us to die.

It's the simplest explanation that fits the observed facts.

It's Occam's rusty razor, and they'll cut our throats with it if they can.

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:
—leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases;
—leadership of global health center
—leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4
joesdog.bsky.social
Agree 💯%.

There may not be a journalist in the world (until recently, at least) who wouldn't drop everything, instantly, to accept a job at the NYT.

Whatever story they want to run, they have the resources to run, and run it as well as they choose to.

Accept it: THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO RUN.

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?
davidcorn.bsky.social
A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

"Consensual"?

They have never had the least idea of what "consent" means or why anyone would care about consent.

Their victims are basically NPCs to them.

"ICE officers and agents can initiate CONSENSUAL* encounters and speak with people"

When did you last buy a barrel of oil at the grocery store, by the way? I'm old, I can't quite remember, myself.

I know how many gallons per barrel, and I'm just this rando.

"You must defer to the president"
One would think a judge's deference should be to the law. If something is ordered that isn't lawful, a judge strikes it down

Never again let it be said that the NYT has no investigative reporters! They hired one & ALREADY found out that the Republicans contrnl the Senate!

Coming soon: Which party has control of the House! They're working on it & if they're spared, someday they'll find out!

Professional Journalism™ FTW!
