Every day that passes without an apology from the New York Times for its atrocious 2016 campaign coverage -- and a meaningful description of how it will do better -- is evidence that the "Paper of Record" remains broken in one of its most important functions. There is a fundamental arrogance to the institution, and a relentless insistence on business as usual in political coverage.

If and when democracy falls, the New York Times will have been complicit.

I hope memory foam mattresses don’t remember everything

When Boeing buys an advertisement on Cable news, it's not because they expect you to buy a 747. When a drug company buys an advertisement, it's not because they expect you to "ask your doctor about..."
They aren't really buying ads at all. What they are doing is buying "favorable coverage insurance".
After all, they wouldn't want to upset one of their bigger advertisers by telling the truth.

We have “95% of the renewable technologies” to power the world now. We don’t need miracles we need political will and not in the pockets of fossil fuel giants. Using what we have now and stop using fossil fuels could get us to 80% renewable usage by 2030. theguardian.com/environment/20

Authoritarianism looks like "freedom" when you agree with it, because then the government "frees" you from seeing things you don't like

Of all the weird manbaby whinges of the Billionaire Class, the most telling and pathetic is the hatred of #ShortSellers: "You should only be able to bet on my company winning, not on it losing."

It's the same #GoodVibesOnly #ToxicPositivity of supplement sellers and #LightWorkers, dressed up in tactical pants and a $300 hoodie.

Whenever you hear a billionaire tech bro crying about shorts, picture #TealSwan decrying the "haters" for claiming she made up her #SatanicPanic nonsense for a buck.

An accidental love letter to #mastodon

Thanks for being you, you.
