The NYTimes has its problems but Bouie always has a good take.

This is a news piece not an editorial. “Editorial line” means they have a publicly shared opinion on what’s happening, not that they’re not doing hard news.

“Low-key” as in he’s found a relatively low-key way to defy a judge’s order. Any kind of defying a judge’s order is of course a very dramatic action.

How so? They obviously have an editorial line but they never make any factual claims that aren’t true.

Two out of these three links are broken, any idea what happened?

The error page says “The server returned this error: couldnt_find_community. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error”

But of course he can only do so on his blog after having been forced out of the Times for exactly this kind of truthtelling.

Yeah might as well just bite the bullet that they’re a taxpayer funded free service.

Haha even after that you didn’t check the article? The premise is that the claims that men don’t read fiction are greatly exaggerated!

So you stopped before it got to the premise?

I just read this semi-autobiographical Jo Walton novel called Among Others that was written as a love letter to finding books through other books - you get the title of every book the sci-fi obsessed main character reads over the course of like 1979-1980.

Terminal means fatal, hopefully that’s not a certainty yet.

I know that’s what drives me crazy too. As opposed to a lot of harmful conservative policies that are clearly motivated by a desire to look out for the interests of the wealthy or pander to xenophobes, the anti-vaxx stuff is just pure contagious madness.

We won’t find out if this changed anything until Rupert is dead.

What billionaire?

Tell you what I’ll block you and you’ll never have to see my share of it again

Yeah I think that’s exactly it

I think there’s a lot of overlap between people interested in a reddit alternative and a twitter alternative. Or maybe as that guy below says it’s just that I’m personally posting about it a lot.

Yeah too bad they didn’t get into it earlier, but it has hit a critical mass of users and attention lately.

The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you’re comfortable with.

Russian fascist owned? What are you talking about?
