You dwell on yr rural background but it’s odd that, many years later, an educated person wouldn’t know the context of Gauguin’s quote. His rape of Polynesian girls has been notorious for a long time. How did you learn of the quote without also learning that his wife was only 13? So take it down?

I agree with your point but personal insults and ALL CAPS are not a good look on anyone. Reminds me of someone . . . .

That is so sad.

So what you’re saying is that NYT failed to follow up on explosive Epstein emails to one of its reporters because the paper is poorly managed?

Is she taking criticism seriously? Or is she (1) studiously ignoring the point, which is that NYT repeatedly failed to investigate a major story; (2) condescending to readers; &/or (3) engaging in ad hominem attacks? It was either poor investigative journalism or a deliberate choice on NYT’s part

Mainly great international coverage.

Good point.

Again, nobody asked you to weigh in on a news topic that you admit is outside your bailiwick. & I’m not calling you a pedo defender. I’m saying you voluntarily hopped into a contentious debate & people have a right to respond. So you need to calm down and stop insulting and condescending to them.

I think the critique is (1) the reporter shared the info with another reporter, who apparently didn’t follow up, & (2) after the reporter was fired, management had access to his email, & failed to follow up on the emails implicating Trump. Pls address this issue instead of sparring with straw men?

I’ve subscribed to the NYT for 50 years and never heard of you. I don’t know what topics you ordinarily write about and I’m not sure why you’ve injected yourself into this debate. But, having done so, you should expect readers to respond.

Hey, you started this.

Source? Thanks

I’m a lifelong Democrat who voted for Bill Clinton twice. If he molested children, I’d be happy to see him go to prison. As well as anybody else who did that, regardless of party.

Didn’t they tell Supreme Court tariffs aren’t taxes?

I’m a boomer and we had it too.

Time to write a book about how frighteningly non compos mentis Trump is?

Why aren’t you writing about Trump’s recent behavior? Why do you apply different standards to him and Biden?

Why aren’t you writing about Trump’s diminished capacity?

Caveat: This is from Google AI. “Boxed beef refers to large, wholesale cuts of beef (primals, subprimals, and fabricated cuts) that are packaged in boxes for efficient distribution.”

Thank you for the explanation.

Got it, thanks.

Because they’re dead?

Not nullification. Government failed to meet its burden of proof.

What does it show? I’m an adult but can’t access it.

I’ve read that VA clinical staff are being paid out of a different fund, but the others are not. Still a horrible situation.

Release the Epstein files.

Release the Epstein files.

If you read the article, only 2 people said that a change was needed: former WH employees Gahl Burt and Michael La Rosa, both of whom opined that the WH needs more space for state dinners. That “some said/others say” made it into Baker’s post (and the deck of the article) is craven and pitiful.

Release the Epstein files.
