Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

We keep thinking about it, looking at it, and then finding a whole new exciting reason to saunter away nonchalantly while whistling.
I think the last RFP was the government going "name your price," and every salvage company going "you know what? Nah."

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

The last annual review concluded the SS Richard Montgomery was perfectly safe!
And as a demonstration of exactly how safe it is it also banned aircraft from flying anywhere near it in case, y'know, the wreck spontaneously makes itself a lot safer in a manner incompatible with continued aviation...

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

No Dutch authority there.
US-territory, just like embassies, probably.
However, just a few steps outside, on Dutch territory, near/along the entrance, would be a nice place for a replacement plaquard/billboard....

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Whatever else comes out once the attack on the ECML train last night, this alone is a credit to the train crew, driver, and signalling team.
Huntingdon was the first possible stop. In a highly stressful situation and improvising a plan the train lost just 3 minutes vs line speed to get there.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Why is Piers Morgan always given so much time and space? Because our media is a relentless circle jerk where people whose main experience is dinner bang on and on about the world they can barely see above their goose pate and Stilton foam

If we wanted more of the same - all the racist lies and performative cruelty - we could have kept the Tories. Who votes Labour in the hope that the racism will continue? Why does Starmer think this is what he was elected to do?
