That "clubby" NYT headline is awful, but the piece itself is clear-eyed & observant, if cool in tone — it's by a strong writer & it documents the creepy, backpatting insider world of guys griping about MeToo as it happens. The NYT is always doing this! If the hed was different, the piece wd be legit

Also, have started #HuntingWives. It’s so camp and fantastic and has some early Dynasty/Dallas vibes. Rain in LA means I’m catching up on essential tv viewing.

Ok so I stumbled upon #Elsbeth and it’s super. But also I’m mad that NONE of my friends told me about this show. Like this is my show, why was I not informed???

Look, I think it’s folly to monitor NYT coverage at this point but it just has to be said that the NYT covered those damn university president hearings BREATHLESSLY but the Epstein emails???? Crumbs. Even though I’m used to them being bootlickers, it’s still appalling to see.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

If the ‘progressive’ strategy/tactic is starving people, might I suggest a hunger strike instead. Feel free to punish yourselves for the cause. I support that. Full support.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Sudan is experiencing the largest humanitarian crisis ever recorded.
12 million people have been displaced — that is the population of the state of Georgia. And more than 635,000 people are facing famine.
We must push for an arms embargo on Sudan and get aid in immediately.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.
