My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who prevented a tragedy, but we must all come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.

It’s a blue light special 2-for-1 deal!

This poetry of your broken dreams redeemed inspires me to block more dullards.

JACOB: Do you think Trump is attempting to overthrow democracy? Because I do. And the fact that mainstream media won’t say it makes it more likely to happen. HEALY: Mark, what about NYT’s need to preserve our access to sources?

Mark Jacobs does a great job here of voicing a widely held critique of the NYT: "There’s just a lack of bravery. I think that you should be writing a headline that says that Donald Trump is assaulting democracy.” AME for "standards" Patrick Healy responds with straw men and mush. 1/7

Absolutely fascinating. Not just Jacob's accurate relentlessness but Healy's genuine inability to understand where the NYT is failing. I'm so glad Jacob ended by discussing bravery--this strikes at the core of it. If NYT cowers away from saying exactly what's happening, why should anyone trust it?

20 years after NYT gave up its Enhanced Interrogation euphemism, Patrick Healy still puts access over reality, refusing the word "lie."

Today I found out that Umberto Eco crafted a version of this meme in the 1980s…

For some people, it doesn’t need to make sense as long as it makes money.

i feel it is an important moment to remind you all again that Norman warhorses were the size of modern ponies. Harold lost to William's superior battle pony forces.
