"Depends on the Narrator."

The "narrator" is supposed to be you, @nytimes.com, narrating the factual truth here, instead of regurgitating a deliberate falsehood as if it was a different legitimate perspective on the truth.

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.

The perfect Philly post does not exi . . .

A Delco tattoo artist with a cobweb tat on his head won the Scrapple Sculpting contest at Reading Terminal Market in Philly with his sculpture of the Eagles Tush Push. The contest was judged by Art Museum ceo Sasha Suda.

Philly remains undefeated, even if we were defeated on the field last night.

Look, the real problem was the Phillies’ bats only worked for half a game in the whole series. But the umps favored the Dodgers in every game, and by more than half a run in each Phils loss.

In a low-run environment, ump bias matters a lot.

Oh, believe me, I know. I'm kinda phoning it in though with pins and mats, and need some better equipment. Keeping my cats off my projects would also help!

During the '16 campaign, I remember an interview with an R voter who "felt bad" that DT was called "a racist," and by the end she clearly was equating "racist" with "asshole" as a throwaway insult. Rs/press went on to neuter that word and actions/words that would sink politicians are now celebrated

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.
