Why trust you for updates, @nytimes.com?
Your nepobaby boss A.G. Sulzberger is carpet bombing your credibility & destroying reputations of your excellent expert non-political journos with his β€œPOTUS won’t sit with me” butthurt: the spoiled brat.
β€œNobody believes you”, NYT.
Happy with your nepoboss?

No, the Democrats won't stay united and will end up handing the presidency to Trump.
Which will be good for juicing up @nytimes.com subscriptions.

not for nothing, but there’s something incredibly unseemly about watching the nation’s newspapers laser focused on biden old fifty times a day for over a week now, there *are* other important news stories in the world that deserve covering.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

Apropos of nothing, a few years ago I wrote whole-ass book proposal for a book all about bats and how they can explain/teach a lot about people, that didn't go anywhere. It was called Great Whirling Circles, based on this quote from Dracula. If any agents or publishers feel like getting in touch.

Not for nothing but the times running a single-sourcer that says "Biden recognizes that he can't fuck up like that again" amid a bunch of editorial slant does tend to make me think that Sulz is getting frustrated that it's not working. That's not even a good single-source backstab!

Yuuuup. On the technical side of filmmaking, Lucas is unquestionably the most important filmmaker of the last half decade - modern cinema is built on the innovations he and his team pioneered. But he's a shit writer and a mediocre director who absolutely requires mediation from others.
