I dunno but if you’re feeling defensive about NYT taking heat for decades of feigning ignorance on Epstein, maybe sit in your feels and reflect. Because without any public whipping at all @jkbjournalist.bsky.social went at the story head on and now we’re here.

At this point the mayors and govs are the most competent Dems and most of the House. The senators need to be purged.

Go vent to the people you think fucked up, because I have nothing to do with Landon Thomas or Epstein coverage and in my tiny square that does fit into the paper, don't pull punches or both sides anything, so if you accuse me of that, going forward I'm just going block you.

Worth remembering that whatever skepticism we might have about what specifically in the Epstein materials, the royal family of the UK saw enough for them to more or less do a damnatio memoriae on the king’s brother while he’s still alive.

Is it misogyny? It seems like this person just has very little trust in a powerful institution and you’re shifting the ground to make it about how you personally are oppressed by their skepticism?

as a journalist, would you say, in general, that it is misogynist for parties outside a powerful institution to inquire about how the internal affairs of that institution are conducted
"I'm a rando who prefers to believe that everything is a conspiracy and am happy to tell women that I know better than she does how their literal job works" That a news org makes an editorial decision you wouldn't (or I wouldn't) doesn't mean someone is killing a story on behalf of a powerful person
"I write for the New York Times, and I can assure you that we've never buried stories on behalf of powerful people, many of those powerful people being part of NYT management. We only publish what's fit to print, like Zohran's application to Columbia that was leaked by a white nationalist"

Both the left and the “don’t fight” Democrats want to depict the “fight/don’t fight” conflict within the Democratic Party as a proxy conflict between the left and the center. It gives the left a lot of extra lift while giving the “don’t fight” faction a tool to keep people on side. But it’s wrong!

vulgar marxism is really appealing because it instantly explains why people do bad things in terms of good and evil and it's extremely misleading for the same reasons - marxism is about systems, not individuals!
There's a tendency among a certain type of poster to assume everything they hate about politics and the state can be blamed on avarice, and I'm here to tell you it's actually worse than that.
I continue to disagree with this. The goal of mass detention is mass deportations. A private prison company leasing 100 beds to ICE gets paid the same if the beds are filled by 100 people for a year each or 1,000 people for a few days each. They don't earn more with long-term detention.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."
