lol the fact that made it to print is proof editors aren't actually reading shit.

[amplifiedohms]

Honestly a terrible analogy because the jungle is pretty self sustainable without human intervention.

reading and agreeing

[Percussionist Foster Grant]

I feel like a lot of these major news companies' largest priority for an editorial staff is "keep woke mob off our back." The fact that something THAT glaringly problematic got printed still just reads like somebody along the chain of checks and balances was out having a Mallo cup.

Too shay

"Finally, Netanyahu is like the sifaka lemur, which I got to observe in Madagascar. Sifakas are primates that use bipedal sideways hopping as a primary means of walking. They advance by moving sideways, waving their arms up and down, which makes them appear to be moving even more than they are. That’s Bibi, always shifting side to side to stay in power and avoiding going decisively backward or forward."

Insightful stuff.

Though honestly if I were a NYT editor, I would let Tom Friedman, David Brooks, and Bedbug Bret embarrass themselves publicly whenever they wanted, hoping I will eventually be allowed to fire them.

In undergrad I had to read Hot Flat Crowded cause this professor I guess had a hard on for Thomas Friedman. I think I told another prof I thought it was a joke and I guess she told him. I graduated. Started grad school and switched to sociology for it. At this time he was now department chair and I got no job assignments my first year because of it. Fuck Thomas Friedman and anyone who love him.

[tandoori jones]

and now that professor desperately wants to buy your boots and you blacklisted him. so who got the last laugh

[burp]

I read Hot, Flat, Crowded, and it seemed fine to me but not really particularly insightful or useful. Read like Malcolm Gladwell pablum. Books for Dads on trains.

These people forget that the US is terrified of Iran and Israeli troops piss their pants at the mere mention of Hezbollah

[Ted Mujint]

The New York Times is one of the biggest offenders of manufacturing consent for Western transgressions abroad.

[Ian MacFlai]

yeah the times has been publishing horrific apinion pieces for years, along with their ever-delusional stuff about real estate, culture, millennials etc.

it's only good for cold hard facts, and even then you have to put on your x-ray glasses to extract them

[throwdemgunz]

cool stuff

I realized this week Fetterman was elected as part of the 2022 DNC’s “abortion is on the ballot, our entire democracy is on the line” platform. Considering this is their 2024 messaging, god knows what other kinds of ghouls they’re going to trot out under this bs.

“If you sit this out, or throw your vote away, you now are effectively empowering Bibi, and you’re definitely going to be empowering Trump,” Fetterman said.

And, Fetterman added, don’t forget the lessons of Hillary Clinton: “I said the same thing in 2016 to voters, I said: ‘Hey, you know what, you don’t like Clinton, you know what fuck around and find out what Trump is going to be about and, hey guess what, how’d you like it?’”

God I'm so mad that stroke didn't kill him

again, Dr Oz would be a million times worse

[Deleted]

Can assuredly say Dr. Mehmet Oz would not have waved an Israeli flag from the roof of his house to spite Palestinian protestors which is good enough for me.

[theywalkedinline]

I don't know about that.


"Oz seemed careful to clarify that he identifies as a “secular Muslim,” adding that “in Turkish and Islamic culture, there’s strong respect of Judeo-Christian values.”

“I’m proud as a secular Muslim to stand tall and say together with many others who are Christian and Jewish — and other Muslims as well — to say that Israel is a force for good that brings light into the world,” he declared to immediate applause."

[itii]

He'd just put a small tasteful isreali flag in his in-laws yard

LOL the Turks are secular Muslims but we def do not respect Judeo-Christian values We literally sacked the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. Dunking on Christians is a point of pride in Turkiye.

Between Dr. Oz and Mean Steve I'm starting to think we need to disown the Turks from Cleveland.

[throwdemgunz]

The Melnick brothers would approve

[Deleted]

The NWACP will handle this

[theywalkedinline]

Dr. OZ will fix the Middle East with raspberry ketones.
