I will never, not in a million years, not through the end of civilization, not when the Sun expands into a red giant, not when entropy causes the heat death of the universe, never - not ever - will I forgive the New York Times for this.

I appreciate the explanation.

The New York Times political reporting can still fuck all the way off. And when it gets there, go fuck off some more, into eternity, and then fuck off again.

Not because they didn't cover these Trump emails - because they didn't cover those Trump emails but did this.

You groomer pedophiles.

I think "beholden to corporate interests" misses exactly what makes this issue so hard! If you ask the question: is it good for house prices to go up or down, the answer depends A TON on whether you own a house or not! The majority of most household wealth is in housing. It creates huge distortions

and I should have tagged @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social with the above.

In particular I would like to introduce you to the political history of one WILLIAM FUCKING JEFFERSON CLINTON.

Yeah. See, it's the kind of thing I actively do *not* want to know specifics of, because I'm the kind of nerd who delights in specifics, precision, and factually correct argument, and this is a particular argument where - despite the need to be - I do not want to know such facts, lest I repeat them.

I would like to introduce you what Gianmarco Soresi has already acknowledged as the best joke he'll ever tell.

And that's fucking creepy, I am at pains to add. But it is still, as a matter of law, not always illegal to have sex with a fifteen-year-old, however reprehensible.

I do not need the shit that google would start shoveling me if I googled "age of consent per state" but I'm not sure this is factually true - as of a couple of years ago, there were many (red) states where age of consent was lower than 18.

By the standards of how other politicians were treated - I am thinking specifically of how his opponent was fucking treated - *THESE ALLEGATIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FRONT-PAGE NEWS FOR WEEKS*.

Allegations ARE NEWS.

A notoroious sexual predator emailing a senior New York Times political reporter talking about the dirtiness and old girlfriends of a presidential candidate during his campaign, and the news organization killing it, is a whole news story.

FTFY.

The most powerful realization, when visiting the King Memorial, is that he is glowering, and his line of sight is directly across the Potomac, straight at the Jefferson Memorial. "Pretty words".

MUNNY

When I got some money, everyone who knew I had money became fucking obsequious. It pissed me the fuck off and I've done my best to avoid such people.

It's just the money.

The NYTimes editors really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hated Hillary Rodham Clinton.
