I got through the wall and got to behold the sadly slain “dragonfly”, Masha and her trouper of a partner, Yehor.

Despite the NYT’s spotty journalism record, Siobhán O’Grady and Liubov Sholudko wrote a powerful, engaging story and deserve all the respect for highlighting the senseless tragedy of Putin’s war against Ukraine. Russia’s fi…[Read more]

Overall I find the NYT news reporting to be reliable. Sometimes though, the accuracy in op-eds can be questionable. It also has some journalists that can get annoyingly silly with their religious views.

Never mind Pope. After reading your line again i think you are indicating that the meaning has been watered down so that ambiguity is read into it rather than questioning its plain meaning and efficacy.

I wasn’t implying that, although that may not be inaccurate. SCOTUS itself has been watering down and resetting precedents on…[Read more]

Agreement isn’t my issue with the NYT. My issue is that when it goes wrong on facts, it goes wrong big.

I like the NYT because it has articles that I like and agree with and some I totally disagree with. And Wordle too 🙂

Reg:

I’m sure the Ukraine story is touching, but what a source!

Here is the link again. My sub (for the NYT) allows me to share so hopefully this attempt with punch a hole in that wall.

No hole yet.

Sorry, the record of “The Newspaper of Record” is “All the News That’s Made to Fit.”. So, it makes it hard to for me to want to break the wall myself.

Denmark fights back against Islam.

Will other European nations do it as rationally and without personal blame?

Greater number of deaths in this senseless war than i realized.

AI quote: Russian Forces: UK intelligence agencies estimate that Russian deaths are approaching nearly 500,000. Independent tallies have verified the names of over 223,000 individual Russian soldiers killed, though the actual toll is significantly higher. Additionally, a report from…[Read more]

Reg,

You flip flopped duration. Current war longer. Former war more gruesome. Neither one peaches and cream.

Yes, Strega, so many inspiring stories are coming from Ukraine. Imagine….WW1 was longer than the current war with Russia. A young Jewish girl fled  from Germany to Ukraine with the help of the Russians in 1940. In 2022 as a 89 years old, she fled from the the Russians in Ukraine with the help of some Germans……. to Germany.

Those poor dissenters and that poor little girl!

“Regime change” is far too mild a word for what the Mullahs and IRGC needs!

Reg:

I wish I could read that, but the dragonfly flew into a wall.

I sense though that Putin may have something to do with crushing his prom dreams.

That was an exceptional read, Reg. Thank you for sharing it here 🫶

A dragonfly flew by……

All cultures are equal. No culture can be judged except by its own standards. Carve an exception for western culture in general, Zionist in particular who are judged harshly and whose members have innate evil traits.

So this is fine, right? 2 years old. Evil little bitch! Hopefully she gets fucked by prison guards so she is warmed up for her 60…[Read more]
