Just to be clear, the current NYT home page is 4 stories about Biden's age, plus another editorial board urging him to withdraw, plus about how Trump is moderating the GOP on abortion.

There is a human being who choses which stories get BREAKING NEWS push notifications. There is a human being who lays out the front page of the newspaper. These are all choices of what to cover and emphasize and what not to cover and emphasize.

The Heritage Foundation “don’t make us kill you, Democrats” statement may mark one of those moments people will read about in 100 years (hopefully!) and think to themselves “why didn’t they freak out when they heard the extremists say that?” (Sadly, it’s just not how humans work most of the time)

I guess you can say Americans are ignorant if they don't understand the role the Supreme Court has in our system, but like... why would they? It's neither a system that makes any sense nor a system that actually exists in the Constitution (which didn't give the courts any policy making role)

Voters just blame whoever is President for whatever happens during their Presidency, which is a major reason why allowing the situation where the Supreme Court absurdly gets to make policy across whatever issue they want to persist is so deadly to Democrats

I can’t even find it but I remember seeing some clip of 60 minutes where the person plays it for him and he has to watch his happy little yell and then they sit in silence for a few seconds and she goes “what does that person yelling look like to you?” & Howard Dean has to go “he looks happy? Idk?”

Howard Dean seems like a pretty replacement level dem so I guess who cares but it’s a pretty good look at how the media furrowing their brows and going “we’re very concerned” is 100% bullshit nonsense that they arbitrarily apply to whatever story seems cool to them

What’s interesting about the Biden interview is to look up Howard Dean interviews after his little happy yell and see how the media treat them pretty similarly despite Bidens age mattering and Howard Deans yell meaning nothing. All the interviews are like “…what do you tell people who saw that?”

The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

I need to write the whole piece about this, but the thing to understand is that the NYT is now just Facebook. The platform dictates narrative to normies, is totally gamed by the right, and is still so ubiquitous as to be unavoidable even by those who see how broken it is. It's just Facebook.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

Fun fact: the Rabbis removed the Ten Commandments out of our core liturgy (Shema &tc) bc the Jewish Christians were SOOPER into it & the Rabbis wanted to be clear that the 10 weren’t superior to the other 603 mitzvot in Torah. So we’re clear that this 👇 is Christian supremacy. & a 1A violation.

After 10+ years of teaching in public high schools I’ve found that far too many adults hate kids because of how they were abused by adults for exhibiting age-appropriate kid behaviors throughout their childhood. If a kid is being raised differently it calls into question their entire reality.
