Hearing the DNC chair laud Mamdani as one of "their" wins when some of the biggest Democrats at this time worked very hard to torpedo his campaign is as infuriating as it is risible.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

You could’ve posted this, verbatim, every week for the last, what, 10 years? and people would’ve assumed it was about a different journalist/scandal.
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

I’ve been trying to find ways to articulate my hatred of AI-generated music that won’t come across as snobbish, but most of what I have to say about it can be boiled down to this:
None of the artists I like in any genre, regardless of era, make music that can be accurately predicted by a computer.

So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?
Does he still think that?
They should retract all of her stories
