do you think there will be some kind of internal review of their social media team later where they're like "yeah so basically we have no place in the community, continually malign appreciated posters, and get ratioed to hell"

I'm really baffled by why NYT would handle BlueSky PR like this and it convinces me they must actively pursue hate-clicks from leftists. Can a local reporter please run an exposΓ© on this account specifically? Like what are they thinking

honestly Bluesky is really more like that anechoic chamber John Cage visited just before composing 4'33 where he could hear his blood circulate

Little Miss Dysphoria An essay about trans women and madness

hmm why not simply read and share my essay about how the construction of "healthy" homosexual masculinity sustained consistent malicious conversion efforts against trans youth instead of all those other essays where gay guys do that

Ilhan Omar: Five steps to take in response to Operation Metro Surge "Nothing about what we witnessed was normal," U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar writes. "Where do we go from here?"

Trump’s β€œOperation Metro Surge” was a militarized campaign of fear that treated immigrants as criminals and weaponized the federal government against U.S. citizens.

We need independent investigations, real accountability, and to abolish ICE.

Maybe dying as a martyr at the ripe old age of 86 at the hands of a bunch of child-murdering perverts is actually exactly how Khamenei would have wanted to go out? If you wanted to cook up a scenario that would make the guy and his supporters feel more vindicated, what would it look like?

something i've become increasingly sensitive to over the years as a historian is how often some random guy 50-150 years ago writes "it may just be that Obscure Historical Figure wore purple" and today 98% of scholarship will be like "O.H.F. loved lavender polka dots" and trace back to him

The New York Times has essentially made news the loss leader to sell Wordle. News-only subscribers are down 65% from 2022 but bundle subscribers have surged 227%. More than 50% of the time spent in the NYT app is now on games.

You can feel clutches of cadre-ism if you organize thru PF but it's mild. Critique seems a little too NYC-DSA-forward -- we don't all have to become electoralists, in fact please let's not -- but non-electoral successes (e.g. tenant unions) also feel lacking to the media organ. Amount of $$$ is wild

I would highly encourage my fellow New Yorkers to read this, even if just to understand the Roy Singham/People's Forum connections
