Please let this be true today: “There was always just enough virtue in this Republic to save it; sometimes none to spare, but still enough to meet the emergency.” —William Seward, Secretary of State during the civil war.

if the nyt workers are able to successfully prevent the needle from being published it will be one of the greatest achievements for organized labor since the invention of the weekend
Replying to @Nate_Cohn
As a result, I do not know whether we will be able to publish the needle. There are good reasons to bet against it, though perhaps there are scenarios where things are running super smoothly; alternately, we hit bugs at the start and there's no chance.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris’ campaign in Pennsylvania has knocked over 100,000 doors before 11 AM. This is an unprecedented organizing effort.

Agree. Similarly, I'm guessing that in 2016 @Comey didn't want Trump to win. But he--like the Times these days--loved the smell of moral rectitude rising from his own shit and wanted everyone else to breathe in a big, admiring whiff.
Many will disagree, but I do not think the Times wants Trump to win. Rather, their leadership wants to win at practicing what they see as neutrality and independence in journalism. This is their vision. To practice at a high level without joining a side. npr.org/2024/10/09/nx-s1-512…

On my way to the memorial of a friend who died too young, I just saw a frail, old man carrying his frail, old dog in his arms as he shuffled up Central Park West. Sometimes, life is so fucking sad.

I more or less abandoned Twitter when M*sk took over but there's a lot about it I miss (mostly mutuals). My TL, though, is littered with right-wing bullshit. How are you handling this? Any way to get rid of it without blocking accounts one by one (which wouldn't work anyway)?
