Things That Don't Enrage Dash Sulzberger
I don’t think that fucking newspaper is omnipotent, but it has not tried to use its agenda powers against this .
Two Years Is Long Enough To Learn A Language
It is hard and it takes works and I am very sympathetic to anyone who doesn’t manage, but Americans tend to think both that learning a second language is a wizard skill AND anyone coming to the US should manage it in a few weeks.
American father who moved to Russia to avoid LGBTQ+ “indoctrination” for his kids is being sent to the front line against Ukraine despite being assured he would serve in a non-combat role.Derek Huffman, 46, feels he is being “thrown to the wolves” after being told that his job in the military would be as a correspondent or as a welder, his wife, DeAnna, said in a recorded plea for prayers, which has since been removed from her YouTube page.Huffman has no prior military experience, DeAnna said, adding that his limited training was conducted in Russian. She suggested this language barrier has made her husband particularly unprepared for the horrors of combat....“Unfortunately, when you’re taught in a different language, and you don’t understand the language, how are you really getting taught?” she pondered. “You’re not. So, unfortunately, he feels like he’s being thrown to the wolves right now, and he’s kind of having to lean on faith, and that’s what we’re all doing.”

TRUMP SUING GAVIN MACLEOD, MARKIE POST, THE 1977 DENVER BRONCOS, THE OTHER GUY ON CHARLES IN CHARGE
OK just Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones, News Corp and a couple of WSJ reporters.
Check The Doodle Kerning
Right wingers will keep throwing anything against the wall until they find something that sticks.
Some Lies Are Good
I don’t think it matters much if I shun these people, and no one who "matters" is likely to.
On July 11, the New York Times Magazine ran a deeply reported piece on how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has prolonged the war in Gaza for political reasons. In addition to showing a prime minister so maniacally obsessed with maintaining his own governing coalition, and thereby avoiding jail, that he is willing to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians (and counting), sacrifice the lives of Israeli hostages, and turn his country into an international pariah, the piece serves as another exhibit in the prosecutorial brief against the Biden administration’s handling of the war. U.S. President Joe Biden is portrayed in turns as feckless and cranky, pushing Netanyahu to change course and believing him when he says he will and then getting mad when Netanyahu inevitably doesn’t. Over and over and over and over
Pertinent
Trump knows how to do a "good enough for the New York Times" document dump. Maybe he will even bring Bill Barr in to tell them how to write it up.
Birthday Bestie
Gramps is raging.
The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.
The letter concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret."

Thursday Happy Hour
I appreciate that our president is always incredibly open and honest about his health issues.
What Enrages Dash Sulzberger
When you consider what is happening at the moment and consider the agenda journalism the NYT is currently engaged in - anti-Mamdani, still on the anti-trans beat - and the agenda journalism it largely eschews (masked agents of the state kidnapping people and disappearing them) - you can draw some obvious conclusions about top management at that fucking paper.
If I Did It
Whatever else one can say about Trump/Epstein, he clearly did not get the services of a skilled celebrity crisis management PR firm..
