In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved
Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada'
Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.

You know that post btw a car’s windshield and side window? It’s called an A-pillar – and it’s becoming a problem.
A-pillars are expanding, enlarging driver blind zones and concealing pedestrians at crosswalks.
Blame car bloat, as well as ill-conceived federal rules.

Why Did Cars Get So Hard to See Out Of?
If it seems like forward visibility has gotten worse, you’re right: Since the 1990s, cars and trucks have grown bigger A-pillars that can create dangerous blind spots.

Is the New York Times seriously trying to frame this rent hike as Mamdani's fault, when it's ultimately a decision made by the current mayor?
