The first time I publicly criticized the NYT as being a horrible institution was on Twitter a month or so after I quit. I did it because of the Tom Cotton op-ed. The number of messages I got from ex and then current nyt employees about the abuse they had endured was... more than I could take in tbh

Literally cancel your NYT subscription, yes even Games or Cooking or whatever. It is a trash rag on the side of fascists.

I looked at 38 papers. The NYT was one of only a few not to have it as the top story and photo

The handful of exceptions were pretty much all places with a big D1 football game

I genuinely don't understand why the NYT is so reticent to give coverage to one of the largest protests in history

NYT on the protests: sixth headline and third photo down. This is Saturday at 8pm

WSJ: protests are the top story and photo

Wapo: protests are the top story and photo

Chicago Tribune: protests are the top story and photo

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

Paul Waldman @paulwaldman.bsky.social · 1d

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Watching the I've Had It podcast ladies absolutely torch someone before running to the computer to act like this was my politics all along because I might be next.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Betrayed his heritage? Cubans who fled Cuba fled because they were part of, or doing well under, the dictatorship, and it should be very obvious by now what kind of people those were.

The generals said "sir are you sure you want to fly the diarrhea bomber over the AI city with the nonsense billboards" and I said [zesty] we've got to shit the hell out of 'em. And no one has more loose stool than me. And actually that was very smart. Making myself the diarrhea president was smart.

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.
