News@lemmy.world•Without disclosure, New York Magazine digitally removed a senior adviser to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani from a December 17 cover photo after she resignedEnglish
3·14 days agoThis seems like just about the tinyest conceivable violation of journalistic ethics, which is rich indeed coming from the New York Times, which still parrots Trump’s lies as if they’re plausible.

News@lemmy.world•US strikes 3 alleged drug vessels and leaves survivors -- now a search-and-rescue operationEnglish
16·14 days agoThe headline refers to these boats as “alleged drug vessels,” but “alleged” means charges that haven’t been proven in court. By plan, there people will never be charged or see a courtroom, and never have any chance to be innocent until proven guilty. Only the Trump administration — a very, very unreliable source — says they’re drug smugglers or “narco-terrorists,” but the only thing we know with certainty is that they’re target practice, which makes these killings premeditated murder.

1·15 days agoAdmittedly, I hang out with good people not shit-heads, but I don’t know anyone who’d hesitate to vote for a woman because she’s a woman. Give us someone worth voting for, and you’ll have our votes.

News@lemmy.world•15 People Have Died in Crashes Where Tesla Doors Wouldn’t Open | There are no official statistics on the dangers of electric handles. So Bloomberg did its own analysis.English
56·25 days agoWhen I was young and naïve in my 50s, I thought US cars had safety requirements, and the era of rolling death traps had been beaten back by Ralph Nader. Must’ve been my mistake. Is there nobody in the government looking at safety issues like un-openable doors?





Voting blue-no-matter-who has given us a parade of Democrats who stand for nothing, do nothing, and eagerly cooperate with fascism. I’m too old to waste another vote on such a charade.
