Think about how for decades, one of the ingredients of a crackpot was: retired engineer.

Retired engineers, for *generations* have been a fertile ground for crackpot theories in everything.

They get that golden watch and bam, incoherent manifesto about quantum archeology inbound.

Collect a claim from one side, collect a claim from the other, present them both to the reader with an awkward shrug and a "who can say?"

And the photo choice -- Noem's looking down ... on what? The reverse angle showed a small crowd and a quiet street. But can't show that, it's biased to one side!

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.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

Market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

We should regard online content these days with the same sort of critical eye as the articles we read: who made this? Where did it come from? Does the account have a motive for pushing this narrative? Is there obvious and trustworthy sourcing? & yes, the visual stuff that help us decide if its fake

NYT couldn't even bring itself to report truthfully about the Holodomor and yet somehow we thought it might do better on Gaza? the NYT has great reporters but its editorial mission is to defend power, esp the authoritarian variety, and to spit on the people that power attempts to crush

We need something like a “Fascistpedia” to keep track of those who collaborated with the regime.

Later, they'll be scurrying to hide their cowardice and moral rot.

A permanent record will guarantee enduring shame.

the AP “was the only western news agency able to stay open in Hitler’s Germany, continuing to operate until the US entered the war in 1941. It thus found itself in the presumably profitable situation of being the prime channel for news reports and pictures out of the totalitarian state.”

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
