it remains irreplaceable in many ways. but it takes my breath away the sheer corruption and power-set values that animate the Times

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.

See if you can spot it! /s

Then you can find today's story on p A23

Front page of NYT on September 22, 2025, with large top-of-page photo of a Charlie Kirk memorial service, and the lead page-one story on the same topic.

Front page of today's NYT, Oct 19, with no story about the nationwide protests, and a "below the fold" montage of two photos, and a link to a story on page 23.

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:
...l ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew
-- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house."

Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

Warnock: We should all be deeply concerned about an American president. who stood in front of our military and said that the real concern is the enemy within They are trying to divide us so that they might rule us, but we join united with one voice

Just wished they turned out in November ‘24, or November ‘16, when it mattered.

Not a word of support for all the people who turned out to fight for America. He cares more about Israelis than he does Americans.

Announce an investigation into Wisconsin, Republican Congressmen. You don’t even have to do it. Just announce it.

If J6 happens in ‘29, does anyone think it would fail? Republicans are totally onboard for this shit.

amazing how you can write about culture professionally and still have no idea what’s going on in the world

Will Staley on Twitter writes: "Maybe this is an artifact of Elon's stewardship of this website, but the "No Kings" stuff — the language, the iconography, even the notion that Trump wants to be a *monarch* — is just totally foreign to me. I don't know where it comes from. Definitely not here."

Independent headline reads: "What order? Trump team ignoring 1 in 3 major judicial rulings against them, analysis finds"

ACLU headlines reads: "Supreme Court Grants Trump Broad Immunity for Official Acts, Placing Presidents Above the Law"

Reuters headline reads: "In a switch, Trump White House seeks to reward colleges for abiding by its ideological terms"

ABC News headline reads: "With Comey, Brennan, Soros, Trump steps up his retribution campaign"

Politico headline reads: "White House pauses new round of largely blue-state projects"

AP headline reads: "Trump’s moves against media outlets mirror authoritarian approaches to silencing dissent"

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

JD Vance’s unwillingness to condemn the Nazi GOP groupchat provides the press corps yet another opportunity to probe his personal associations, and take note of how the whole administration exists to please them and make sadistic content go viral. www.offmessage.net/p/governing-...
