My issue began during the debate and THEN the Supreme Court’s John Bircher wing started rolling. It’s very very difficult not to despair. I am trying.

In retrospect, the NYT Spelling Bee’s blithe refusal to care about words that are in the dictionary should have struck more word nerds as symptomatic.

I don't know which is better, the idea that the author bamboozled the NYT to run this headline and they didn't bother checking the fundamental truth of it, or that the NYT picked it for the punchy vibe and they didn't check the fundamental truth of it. Either way, total faceplant.

This face has "I went to Cable Street with Sir Oswald and all I got was the shit kicked out of me" written all over it. (It's the guy who wrote the "You shouldn't vote" op-ed that the NYT chose to publish on July 4.)

As @emptywheel.bsky.social said, they published this “voting doesn’t matter” editorial on July Fourth.

Shame on them.

American independence was declared—and won—by people who gave a damn. And worked for what they won.
