Here’s Le Petit Simon, not frolicking at this exact moment, but absolutely loving the snow in front of The Louvre.

It is as though, for the NY Times, being truthful and clear would be distasteful.

And just another reason why we are where we are right now β€” shameful

Great but didn't you also just vote for another Trump nominee ? Care to explain that vote, on the day after one of your constituents was murdered by his masked thugs ???

One funny detail : the designer Karl Lagerfeld was obsessed with the Princess Palatine, and, at one point, wanted to write her biography !

So hard losing a pup. I ended up bringing a new one home a couple months after. A new story with a new soul has been amazing… ❀️❀️❀️

And don’t forget, for years, she dictated all of the book coverage of the Times. Imagine having such a banal, reactionary thinker overseeing all literary coverage

Excellent interview, as always.

I wish you would have asked about Biden's suggestion that he would be president for only one term--what happened to that idea ?

It's sadly hilarious that we have never heard this kind of scenario from a Democrat

I agree completely but to have exerted diplomatic pressure, Biden would have had to see the Palestinians as being human. And he just couldn't do that--Kamala couldn't either, I'm afraid...

A Beautiful Day for Saying Nothing That chill in the air isn’t Jimmy Kimmel’s show being suspended. It’s just autumn!

It’s not a chilling effect. It would only be chilling if you had something horrid to say, and you don’t, do you? Certainly nothing critical of the regime, and absolutely no paraphrasing, not of anyone, not at this time!

Excellent, beautifully observed piece ! Thank you…

What is amazing about this, too, is how late into the Nazi regime this happened : 1939.

We have covered six years in a matter of months...

β€˜Censoring you in real time’: suspension of Jimmy Kimmel show sparks shock and fears for free speech ABC decision over Kimmel comments about Charlie Kirk’s killing comes hours after Trump-appointed chair of US media regulator threatened broadcaster’s license

Skip the @nytimes.com both-siding this issue, this is shocking.

It also shows how weak Trump is. He can't even handle criticism from a comic? What a sad, pathetic, Un-American man...

Only someone who was not a member of one of the many minorities he targeted would laud his civility β€” shameful
