Happy to see JB show up on Threads, sad that he was badgered away from here, but starting to see some sideways NYT defense that just confuses me. The joint just ain’t serving its readers. Or journalism.

None, actually, at this point. But thanks for the reminder!
WSJ this morning. lol at the last bit. "Leaders on both sides need to stop describing the stakes of the election in apocalyptic terms. Democracy won't end if one or the other candidate is elected. Fascism is not aborning if Mr. Trump wins, unless you have little faith in American institutions."

“Creative nonfiction” is the bane of journalism.
This is NYT’s portrait of a Trump rally, where the explicit agenda was putting millions of people in concentration camps before deporting them.

Got my first haircut in Brooklyn yesterday, hole-in-the-wall down the street. Walk inside, Arabic guy — little English — is trimming a black guy’s elaborate style. It’s like this everywhere I go, people of all ages and backgrounds, just being themselves. I’ve never felt more American being here.

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

Being a Very White Boy, this explains the “black jobs” post we saw from Baltimore’s mayor on Threads with photos of him at work.
it feels like the whiteness of big political media spaces right now is having a big effect on how people are thinking about the debate. eg I have seen relatively little discussion of trump's "black jobs" comment, which immediately exploded on black twitter

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Our lefty polisci prof taught Alinsky in the late 70s, and that’s the last we heard of him for thirty years.
It was really funny in the early 2010s when chuds learned who Saul Alinsky was and started calling it an “Alinsky tactic” if you called them dumbasses
