If Biden can get the balance right and leave the world more secure than he found it, he too has a chance to be remembered as fondly as the plainspoken haberdasher from Missouri, who was proud of having “done his damnedest," writes @[email protected] on @[email protected]

#NYTReadalong | Megan DiTrolio

Our guest: Megan DiTrolio, Senior Editor at The New York Times. She’s the lead editor of A2-A3 and just led a major refresh of those pages. Megan will walk us through the process the team went through to pitch their vision. The overall goal of these pages, in Megan’s words, has been to “pull back the curtain and explain how it all works.” Several new elements have been added to the mix, each with an eye toward increasing transparency and shedding light on the journalistic process.

Exactly 15 years ago today, the New York Times printed this article that I could not BELIEVE was allowed in the New York Times.
One of my absolute favorites, and, I think, one of my best. ENJOY on my free Substack, in both audio and visual. Love!

Think of it this way. If the head of NASA publicly said the kind of garbage that Musk says every day, how long would he still have that job? Or if the CEO of Boeing tweeted that toxic hate, how long would he stay in his position? The government is going to have to cut ties with Musk sooner or later, unless he completely changes his current behavior for the better which seems unlikely in the extreme. The only question is how long the contracting agencies can keep sweeping Musk's toxicity under the rug. With every toxic public tweet, Musk makes that more difficult to continue.

Putin won't hold his giant end of year press conference this year, the Kremlin says.
First time in a decade at least he's skipping it.

Wonder why he might not want to sit in front of 1500 journalists this year....
