“That’s the beautiful thing about artists — whether they’re successful or not, they’re willing to spend the time doing something and put it out there for the world to judge. Whether it’s good or bad, they’re still putting it out there.”
“Anatomy of a Success Story: How One Artist Broke Through”

Just spotted this gem in the NYTimes on the court case from a true expert on 'democracy':
Mr. Putin last year called the various proceedings against Mr. Trump political “persecution” and said they had revealed the “rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy.”
His spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, reiterated the point on Friday in response to the verdict, saying it was clear to the entire world that the U.S. authorities were trying to eliminate political rivals “by all possible legal and illegal means.”
Friday’s paper. I have been collecting NYT papers over the last 8 years and I have to say, I feel cheated. What ever happened to “Stop the presses!!!” #nytimes#TrumpIsGuilty
The #NYTimes has become notorious for its role in laundering right-wing #transphobia for its largely liberal audience. A recent article about local school politics serves as yet another example of how the paper’s anti-trans agenda most likely flies under the radar of most readers—making its propaganda that much more effective.
In which the #NYTimes comes to the astonishing conclusion that the guy who tried to ban people from entering the country based on their religion, who put children in cages, and who conspired with our enemies, may actually not be very nice.
What #NYTimes critics are calling for is not censorship, as executive editor Joe Kahn pretends, but a recognition that the paper is not merely holding up a mirror to the world, but making choices about what’s important for readers to know—and that those choices have real-world consequences.
RE #nytimes reported that MSNBC hosts,...They say their message — that Mr. Trump’s candidacy represents a unique and clear threat to democracy — is an urgent one for the electorate to hear
I dont see fascist #propaganda on #msnbc, I see great in the court reporting, like "he has his eyes closed 80 to 90% of the time"
⭕He is showing his defiance to the #TrumpTrial jury
If not for MSNBC, only the jury would see this fascist conman tactic
The NYTimes' Spelling Bee is a great word game. My Bogdle word game is also good, but not quite as professional, and maybe not as bug-free and "sticky".
That being said, Spelling Bee really needs a "this is a valid word" CSS class on the guess container BEFORE you submit it.
The #NYTimes says it's not their fault if bad things are done with their good reporting. The problem is that their reporting is put to bad ends because it's bad reporting.
@nytimes has a cool Buying vs Renting housing calculator.
Given how low my rent is in the Midwest, seems like renting is the smarter financial choice atm. But finances aren't everything. QOL is important too, though harder to quantify.
Here's all you need to know about Mark Penn's column: it does not use the word "abortion."
There's no point listening to any electoral advice that doesn't suggest Dems lean into their best issue in 50 years, one proven in 2022 & 2023 to work nationwide.
The NYT has for some reason (maybe since the new head editor in 2022? IDK, that's only a guess) become explicitly anti-Biden. I suspect that this article is their concern-trolling way of criticizing Biden, and doesn't at all represent actual constructive advice from someone who wants him to win.
I made some kind of noise yesterday about wanting to cancel my subscription because of this bullshit; I just followed through.
Interesting info for anyone curious: If you attempt to cancel your subscription online, it'll offer you $1/week for a full year if you stay. It's honestly a pretty good deal for their non-propaganda stories. But on the other hand, fuck 'em.
Since October 7—as #Israel has killed more journalists, in a shorter period of time, than any country in modern history—the #NYTimes has minimized when not ignoring this mass murder.
[Politico]: The Petty Feud Between the NYT and the White House
Biden’s people think they’re “entitled.” The Times says “they’re not being realistic.” By Eli Stokols
@politicususa Or, to put it differently, the #NYTimes is concerned that President Biden is losing his mental powers, wants to test his fitness in a way normal for campaigns, the President refuses to give them the opportunity, and so they think it's likely that the White House is trying to hide a problem.
@GottaLaff
I knew the #NYTimes sucked but I didn't know how hard.
This is the reason they want to suck up to Trump because Joe said fuck off no interview?
Candy assed bitches is what they are.
This isn't journalism, it's kindergarten games.
Meta lost $3.85 billion on the metaverse in the first quarter of 2024 alone. You know, that thing we all laughed about a couple years ago and next to no one actually uses.
It’s burned $45 billion on the metaverse since the end of 2020.
