He’s saying the straw hat is like a crown of thorns. Why? Because the whole comparison falls apart if it’s not

Imagine if you did this in any other journalistic context

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.

Being biased against bullshit means being biased against conservatives so that’s a non starter for media elites

I feel like we’re going through a crisis of credulity as a culture. You can see it with this, you can see it with woo, and you can see it with AI. Nobody’s willing to stand up and say “this is stupid, what are you talking about?”, so people keep spinning out of control.

Really the only single player social deduction game that really gets the dynamics of playing it w/actual people. There’s a power gamer who can sus people really well but is distrusted by everyone else bc of it. There’s the easily led moron, players who play with their feelings, it’s amazing design

Gnosia getting an anime adaptation still seems like the most random thing. It’s a sort of visual novel meets Werewolf/Mafia game with a time loop meta narrative and came out on the PSP in Japan. Then a few years later, it got a PC release more widely. Never struck me as a huge seller but great game

what really burns is that you know this discussion happens every day in the editing rooms and yet, so far, no NYT reporters are speaking up and explaining how their editors are silencing them - which leads me to conclude the reporters are ok with it - which - yeh - um -

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!

"protests don't work" is one of the most toxic imaginable takes for someone on this site to have right now and anyone advocating it should be blocked

The ACA actually put the screws to insurance companies. Is their margin still higher than other systems? Sure. Is it the main driver of costs? Absolutely not.

Not exaggerating when I say that SB 79, a bill making it easier to build housing near mass transit, is the most consequential piece of legislation that the Democratic Party has passed all year. Saying no to the worst people in our coalition proves we're serious about the future.
