Our culture has real trouble grasping that we can't bring back what it felt like to see The Prisoner/Ghostbusters/Star Wars the first time by doing them again, because the thing that made them compelling is that they were different. We can only feel that feeling again by making more new things.

Just to be clear, we don't think that people answering this way are actually under 30 or Hispanic. It's that people giving inaccurate data on questions about submarines are also giving inaccurate data about their demographics, falsely claiming to belong to these groups.

Sorry to go on about this, but it's is so funny to me. 12% of people under 30 who opt into online polls claim they have a license to operate a nuclear submarine. So do 24% of Hispanic people polled by Pew. The actual number of people who have a license to operate a nuclear submarine is 0%.

the journalistic failures surrounding Iraq were so vast and numerous that it felt hard to diagnose, but after Gaza it feels simpler. the institution is distinctly racist towards Arabs and Muslims - not in some abstract structural way but in the sense that NYT leadership views them as inferior

I didn’t think the Times could look any worse in a war than it did after Iraq, but they may have outdone themselves with Gaza

This is just a sample of some of the "Biden/Netanyahu ties are strained/things are more fraught/a breach is definitely widening" stories written between November and February. In that time, around 17,000 people in Gaza were killed. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I wrote for @thenation.com about one of the most tiresome tropes of the last few months: the "Biden is definitely very angry with Netanyahu behind the scenes" story. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Biden Is Mad at Netanyahu? Spare Me.www.thenation.com An infuriating, thuddingly predictable genre of article has emerged: the “Biden is really upset with Israel behind the scenes” story.
