.@nytimes has still not admitted or rectified its disastrously-distorted mindset in this area. In a culpable 2016 effort to make a terrible person’s coverage more positive, they lied to America and told us that the FBI found no ties between Russia and Trump.
And that’s the moral and factual hazard. When you strive to be “balanced” about a person who is dangerous and terrible, you lie. You misrepresent. You deceive.
You cause real harm in the lives of real human beings.

I don’t want every man in a suit to feel it’s ok to put their hands on my body whenever they feel like it. Most of us were raised in a culture that taught us - you have to permit it, you’re not allowed to complain, you’re “overreacting” if you want your body to be yours alone.
So that’s the context for many of us feeling pain when we see these photos, and not really giving a shit if the women in question “felt it was OK” because that’s part of the problem. And Biden being “unaware” that it was offensive is also part of the problem.
When dealing with professional colleagues, men, if you wouldn’t put your hands on a male colleague in that context, don’t do it with a female colleague. It is that simple. It is infantilizing. Failing to recognize that principle is to relegate women to a lower caste.

I love how a new barometer of “how much are you criticized” has emerged, and it’s taken as a judgment of the media rather than a judgment of how terrible the criticized person is.
I mean, Charles Manson was widely criticized in the media in the 60s and 70s. Coverage as close to 100% negative as you could get. Does that show media bias? Or media accuracy?
Would it have been LESS biased to strive for positive stories about Charles Manson as putative fairness and balance? Or would that have been MORE biased - because trying to make terrible people’s coverage “balanced” distorts the truth that they’re terrible?

Buttigieg’s statement repelled many (incl. me) who felt attracted by his persona and stated principles. Not bc there’s some kind of no-criticism litmus test. But bc it suggests Buttigieg and his true principles are not what his campaign plays them to be.
It is a cheap shot, a sexist shot, and a sign of inherently bad character that one would pre-roll their campaign by trying to align with years of anti-HRC sentiment. Folks - I don’t like Hillary. I voted for her in general, but I don’t like her. NEVERTHELESS:
. . . . If I wanted the Democratic voting and fundraising majority, and the driving ppl of our party, to find me a reliable upholder of their values, I would never in a million years have targeted the Dem popular vote winner a few weeks before my announcement.

1. It’s been 9 years since Barack Hussein Obama (aka Barry Soetoro) forced schools around the country to adopt Common Core.

Evening all! Let’s do some #tweetnotes on #DoctorWho: Arachnids in the UK. MUTE FOR SPOILERS

In short: Chibnall’s best Who episode to date is a solid romp that doesn’t put many of its eight feet wrong…it just doesn’t have much to say, either.
DW-AITUK: A lot of the basics here felt cribbed from Eight Legged Freaks. (Or, rather, so obvious that both did them.)

Toxic waste leading to massive spiders. Nasty businessman’s big land development. Youth activity used to lure the beasts into place. #tweetnotes
DW-AITUK: One pleasant surprise was the surprisingly natural flow of the early scenes - from vortex to TARDIS to home, to flat, to trouble.

Yaz sadly realising “No messages” is good. The Doctor’s sadness that her friends are leaving is, too. #tweetnotes

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
