NYT visual investigations team continues to be top notch. I hadn’t clocked it the first time I saw Ross’ video, but I am more convinced now that he knew he was going to shoot her when he switched his phone in to his left hand, fairly early on

I just learned that this incredibly flawed story was put on the front page of the newspaper, and that certainly seems like an editorial choice
New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok!
So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵

Lo and behold, the productivity boom ushered in by AI. No one can make up bullshit faster
A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

The Democratic candidate in 2028 will be some dipshit you haven't thought of yet, and they'll win the primary because of some stupid bullshit. They'll be fine. Make your peace with that now.
I am willing to bet money there will be at least five distinct, original factors influencing the 2028 primary we are completely oblivious of at present, and a distinctly non-zero possibility of an insurgent or two.

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.
We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers.

You cannot crowdsource 8 billion dollars to make up for the loss of SNAP in November.
Or you could, through your taxes, if the law were being followed.
It is unlawful for the Trump Administration to leave the SNAP contingency fund untapped.

Substack is an industrial scale thief of time. Instead of two awful paragraphs any editor would've cut, we're treated to a guaranteed 30 seconds of drivel by basically anyone writing on the platform.
And those 2 paragraphs are basically every The Argument preview before the paywall
