Some Times contributors took issue with the way the article was presented. Jamelle Bouie, a Times opinion columnist, posted on Bluesky, “i think you should tell readers if your source is a nazi.” He later deleted that and other posts criticizing the article, saying that they “violated Times social media standards.” Bouie did not respond to an email requesting comment, and the exact violation was not immediately clear. According to Times guidelines, journalists on staff “must not express partisan opinions” and must “be especially mindful of appearing to take sides on issues that The Times is seeking to cover objectively.” (I have a pending assignment with the Times Magazine.)
Apparently being against nazis is a partisan issue. Interesting times we live in.
Yeah, just because we can reduce our use of pesticides doesn't suddenly make all of the bee colonies we killed with it come back to life. I get that.
But nature is resilient and if we stop dousing everything in nerve toxins then maybe we'll see the ecological web of insect life doing its thing again. That improves the soil and plant life, gives food to small critters, and both of those indirectly helps the bees. So it kind of does undo the damage in a roundabout way.
Well we could stop dousing our planet in poison just for weed free and pest free grass, for starters. I know it's not as bad as what we use on farm crops, but every little bit counts. The bees are stressed and dying because of that stress.
He's an old fart that does things by the book and does them well with mostly good intentions from an outside perspective. He worked within those confines and got shit done in an adversarial environment. He didn't anticipate the fuck-the-book approach that is now allowing trump to flagrantly ignore the constitution.
Had he known he may have reoriented his strategies. But that's hindsight right? Also fuck him for preventing an actual primary and forcing Kamala on the ticket - that was a known bad approach even without hindsight.
When I have enough money and want to die, I'll buy a bunch of burial plots next to one another and have them all excavated. My loved ones will paint a ring of color around each one. Then I'll skydive with a squirrel suit on - red for 10 points, blue for 5 and white for 1. There'll be a booky on site.
Epstein's client list was for blackmail - not prosecution by due process of law. All he had to do was threaten Mr Moneybags about that time he went to town with a girl and now Epstein suddenly has tens more millions of dollars.
Yeah that's if you were to try to bruteforce the entire keyspace one key at a time. Nah. You'd look for sidechannel attacks which could reduce the keyspace by many orders of magnitude before starting.
Honestly... go to renaissance festivals and ask the performers if they need help. You'll get a (poorly) paying gig doing clowning-adjacent work that is seasonal.
I guess the mummy's curse will be the patent trolls that keep greening the delivery mechanism to prevent generics from entering the pharmaceutical market.
I personally know people in red states who will suffer. They're in economically depressed areas and they are suffering life long injuries from performing skilled labor in a state that has no worker protections as a political choice.
All three of those problems are caused by republican policies to their own people.
I swear the GOP in charge must have all been promised a cool $B each to follow along with this. They know what is at stake here - the entire US hegemony is rapidly collapsing around us and our institutions built over hundreds of years are crumbling. But they'll personally get money and be a fieflord so that's fine I guess.

Now I can't even put the book down and it is talking to me. This is the worst!
