Why could the @nytimes not cite @amconmag as first breaking this story rather than, way too far down in their piece, citing “a magazine article”?

Why does the Times still suck so bad at crediting other media orgs?
If you are weeks late to coming to this story—even if you advance it and stamp it with the Times gravitas—you really need to credit those who broke it.
there are still a few conservative news sources that haven’t gone full MAGA/Q/cult of Trump, and @amconmag is one and all the more reason for @nytimes to properly credit them. Help create/support a healthy media/opinion ecosystem!
I know less about these guys, but if they first broke it, credit should go to them to. The thing is readers *want* to know how things came to light. It’s part of the story!

.@AOC talking about being a sexual assault survivor—i think previously unknown widely—and how being "asked to move on" without justice being served is essentially telling a rape victim to put up and shut up. On @instagram Live
those are my words, but that's what she is saying.
She says she was getting texts a week prior that she "needed to be careful" and particularly about 1/6

Somehow the NYT missed that people are not only pissed about the sloppy process by which school names were axed, or not, but that @SFUnified hasn't had one day of in person school, doesn't expect to, and BOARD DIDN'T EVEN DISCUSS ANY OF THAT
HERE is what people are really pissed about. Sure, have a (much more rigorous) debate about school names. But should that take priority over...reopening? Increasing access to remote learning for low income kids? Really? missionlocal.org/2021/01/the-sa…
Sloppy, craven process + utter failure to deliver for kids.

Ok but "snake" does not mean "jerk"

also rats get ditches doesn't work
what if the speciesisms are complementary? Bees are in fact, busy. And larks do look like they're having fun.
"whale" can mean fat, or an easy mark, or a bagging good time so.

Why not work on reopening schools.
Sure, some names should go (Serra, for example). But is this the thing the @SFUnified board should be spending its time on when kids have not been in schools for almost a year?
There’s pitiful connectivity to online classes in a lot of communities. Improving THAT seems like a higher priority this year.

1/ I've watched (part of) Navalny's "Putin's Palace" exposé, and I suggest you do same. (It is subtitled.) It's half psychological profile/biography and half @60Minutes style follow the money report, citing rafts of documents, using drone footage. Now...
2/ I cannot verify its claims. You'd need to be a Russian speaker commanding a team of forensic accountants, for starters. But the pattern of Putin using "wallets"—old friends and cronies to horcrux his vast stolen wealth—is well known. He may be richest person in world.
3/ "Putin's Palace" hones in on one...palace...estimated to cost $1.3 BILLION. But it's the pattern of how the money is hidden that's more nefarious, esp put against what Russia spends on its people in pensions and otherwise. Here's a @CNN summary cnn.com/2021/01/20/eur…
