In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning."

I chose Larry Summers.

Better late than never.

pretty grim when health insurance company executives have to try to hide their identities online like they're public school history teachers, government employees or doctors who care for transgender people
United Health just deleted this page from their website lol

writing about message board drama for the atlantic is maybe the fakest job yet conceived
As the left flees and X loses broader relevance, it becomes a more overtly right-wing site, @alibreland.bsky.social writes. But the right needs liberals on X in order to push conservative perspectives into the mainstream.
The Right Has a Bluesky Problem
The X exodus is weakening a way for conservatives to speak to the masses.

What if the right took power because the right set out to take power and promoting the message that liberals or the left provoked them into taking power was integral to the plan

At a certain point peoples taste in music just goes bonkers. I’m visiting my mom and she has a gospel CD by Dennis Quaid. All her music feels like it shouldn’t exist, like it’s from a different dimension

This is an amazing story. Houston criminalized feeding the homeless, Food not Bombs continued to do so, the city has ticketed them dozens of times and occasionally arrested members but hasn’t been able to get a single conviction. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Food Not Bombs trial rescheduled after too many jurors objected to $500 fine for feeding homeless
Roughly 90 tickets have been issued since March to volunteers with the loosely organized Food Not Bombs, which serves meals to people in need.

I need to write the whole piece about this, but the thing to understand is that the NYT is now just Facebook. The platform dictates narrative to normies, is totally gamed by the right, and is still so ubiquitous as to be unavoidable even by those who see how broken it is. It's just Facebook.

Ohio State vs. Notre Dame is just a football game, but the competition between Ohio State Fan energy and Notre Dame Fan energy is the battle for the future of the Republican party. Personally I think both are super, and I just wish everyone involved could win!

It's gotta be so demoralizing working for the New York Times. You spend days diligently re-reporting a week-old regionally published article you're pretending doesn't already exist only to open the op-ed section and see "Mongrel Sterilization Is in the Constitution" by Trevor M. Swastika.
