I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
Is the premise of this story that the mayor should make lighthearted video content about an ongoing criminal investigation www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
‘I stand with Iran. Unequivocally. Any regimes that need changing, including the US, Israel and ours, need to be changed by the people, not by some bloated, lying, cheating, greedy, resource-grabbing, bomb-dropping imperial power’

Does that cost include all the hardware the US has lost?
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Get ready for Warflation

In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
How does anyone know anything? But mostly empirical evidence and critical theory.
Anyone who thinks oil is coming down in price for years is fooling themselves. The US is taking out a major oil producer. Who's making money from this? Oil companies
When are we going to stop oil wars?
Get ready for gas prices to be really high for a decade, at least
I'm going to stay home, more
Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦♂️

Human knowing is inextricably linked to human feeling, sensing. It goes both ways. AI does not and cannot feel.
Reading and acting on this post could well save your life.

Never underestimate the eagerness of our press to abase and disgrace themselves for foreign billionaires
Exact same spot.
Exact same time of year.
Four years apart.
Not a thing planted.
The power of rewilding.
I really miss print magazines. I hate reading long form content on screens so I find myself not reading things I really want to read.

America always howling about nuclear threats, is the only country to ever drop a nuke on anyone…two actually.
And now a dementia ridden, terminally ill narcissist with raging sadism who will happily burn the world down before he dies has started a fckn war and has the nuclear codes.
Congress: 🤷♂️ 🤷♀️
What could possibly explain the intensity of Western interest, over the past century and more, in this region?
I’d urge him to retire.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

I will never forgive Starmer for any of it, but especially not for this. More money donated to the Green Party.

An illegal war. A series of war crimes. A political assassination. The murder of the granddaughter, a child, of a political adversary. And that’s not including the genocide and ethnic cleansing already underway.
That’s a good question.
Jeremy Corbyn • @jeremycorbyn • 1d $ ... We cannot let Keir Starmer drag this country into another illegal war. That's why I tabled a Bill to require Parliamentary approval for the foreign use of British bases. Today, I urged the Prime Minister to fulfill the promise he made in 2020 and pass this legalisation, now.
They were terrified of this guy because of the social forces he unlocked, quite accidentally. But he’s a letter-writing, petition collecting kind of politician, he thinks he’s there to enable others. A proper populist monster would lay waste to the British political landscape.
