Lite secret about legacy newspapers & subscriptions: the Washington Post & the New York Times for decades didn’t care about consumer subscriptions cancellations because they were almost entirely profitable because of CORPORATE subscriptions. That was the stable money in subscriptions

The way we avoid having to do all of this again in 8 or 12 or 16 or 24 years is by imprinting a generational memory of, "oh, the last time they did that, all of the top guys - I mean, the ones who survived - went to prison for the rest of their lives, and had their property seized."

Genuine checking-my-own-biases question:
Feel like elite-school prof op-eds are always “here’s why this far right winger is good for liberals” or “Trump actually is a king.”
Is that right? Or is it just saliency (they stick in my mind)? Or availability (sane op-eds get ignored, bad hate-reposted)?

Yes, this is absolutely something men in my family have said, and was my father's own approximate response when I complained about being sexually harrassed.
I’m sorry does that mean Cuomo thinks the women he victimized should just accept what he did as the ‘mature’ thing?

wow. zohran brought one of cuomo’s accusers, charlotte bennett, to the mayoral debate. he asked cuomo what he would say to his 13 accusers of sexual harassment. cuomo said it takes “a certain level of maturity to work in government” and that the cases were resolved anyway. fucking scum.

40 odd million people use SNAP. 7 million WIC. food banks are already way down because of funding cuts. It’s going to be catastrophic
I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
