I’m still a subscriber, but lately it appears that the NYT has become more and more a tabloid instead of the paper of record

Loved seeing new details on return viewings: it’s Christmas time, the taxidermy that’s everywhere, Marion stuffing the💰into a too small for it ✉️ then into the too small for it 👜, the clean-up scene, Norman’s nervous tics

Saw Psycho for the first time in 1978, my dorm screened it for Halloween, I only knew it was a horror film. It was creepy, scary, cringey, and there were loud gasps. Alien came out the following June. Those two films bookended my freshman year at NYU, and perfectly describe it. 😳 😱💔

You might want to read the 2024 Republican Party platform, which will be presented at their convention. Here it is, 16 pages, and it begins with a dedication to the forgotten 🙄, which is followed by a 3-page “preamble” 🙄, and then a list of 10 goals and how they’re going to achieve them.

An editor of a US newspaper cannot be impartial about democracy in America, because without American democracy and our Bill of Rights, there wouldn’t be a free press, and his job as an editor would be radically changed, if not eliminated altogether. VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY NOVEMBER 5th

Another thing about the RNC 1980 convention is how they successfully co-opted words like freedom, family, and pro-life, and demonized the term liberal.

The Republican Party is corrupted. Our electoral system is based on two dominant political parties. But what do you do when one of them has become corrupted, and has corrupted two of the three branches of the federal government, the Republican members in Congress and members of the Supreme Court?

So, The New York Times publishes a story with a misleading headline, implying the expert was there checking on Joe’s health. In paragraph 3, they point out they don’t know shit, but *nowhere* do they mention the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act that Joe just signed into law.

Today The New York Times account on Threads was briefly deactivated and they don’t know why. Clearly this shows that The New York Times on Threads is in cognitive decline and simply *must* drop off the platform.

Meet the opinion maker who wrote that piece, Matthew Walther, interviewed in 2023, who attended the notorious conservative Christian school, Hillsdale College in Michigan, that was so opposed to affirmative action that they went private so they wouldn’t have to comply with the law.

My morning starts with doing the word games, in bed; I figure it’s extra challenging since I’m just waking up. I start with the Bee, do as much as I can, then the others, then get up & get coffee and go back to the Bee to get to Genius. Beyond that, I may go back to it during the rest of the day.

Personally I think the candidates should be challenged to play word games, like the NYT Mini, Wordle, Strands, and Connections, plus Quordle, Octordle, and Hardle. They should do it Live, on the debate stage, with two cameras on each, one on their face and one on their game screen.

File under: Don’t fall for it The media publishes stories that influences opinion polls, then reports on the polls that their own stories influenced, all for clicks, likes, follows, and subscribers, which creates viewership ratings that lead to advertising dollars. And they engage with rage.

If it’s the bad, you can use the gin as an all-purpose cleaner, an aftershave, or an air freshener. Some say it can also be used as a floor wax and a dessert topping, but I haven’t verified that.

Merchan has to decide if any of DT’s conduct, evidence, or testimony in the case is covered by the immunity criteria SCOTUS laid out; after hearing arguments, he expects to rule on it by September 6th.

I do not, although I like the idea. As for my diary and unpublished memoirs, I can refer you to my archives, although the custodian is very particular and is rather zealous about access (which is why I hired her — truthfully though, 🤫 , she scares me 🫣)

Today’s SCOTUS ruling now completes the imperial presidency that Richard Nixon believed it to be, and was trying to make, codifying into law (for now) what Nixon said to David Frost in 1977, “when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal"

I don’t know, but he bears a resemblance to a 19yo NYU student I knew, Washington Square North, wearing a YSL jacket his granny bought for him ‘cause he wanted to up his style game — in order to *have* a style game in the first place, because when you’re from Pittsburgh, you’ve got to do *something*

Oh FFS And now, cue all the stories of past politicians who dropped out of their race or chose not to run for reelection. Oh yes, and insert a goofy photo of Biden. The US media is so broken. But don’t despair. VOTE
