Fuck the NYT. The double standard really is on full display there.
I am actually mad about that. Like jesus fucking christ partially true because the number is accurate but the data only goes back 80 years?
That is fucking crazy. At some point you can do simple math, to determine it is true.
The population of the US in 1940 132 Million
labor participation rate ~50% or about 65 million people so 6.5 million jobs means a 10% drop in the unemployment rate. Now unemployment was over 10% during most of 1930, but there never was 10% drop. 6.5 million new jobs in earlier years would have simply be impossible because the labor force wasn’t big enough.
Well, they are technically correct…which we all know is the best kind of correct.
Thankfully the NYTimes is taking lots of grief for this fact check.
I’m canceling my $4/month sub.
I haven’t been subscribed for a long time but at this point I kind of wish there was some way for me to cost those motherfuckers some money.
Tech workers: Fuck the NYT!
NYtimes has been doing its thing before Maggie Haberman and DougJBallon apparently. Found this on a random search:
Hitler sounds like a charming and refined host. A vegetarian and ahead of the time with his preference for organic vegetables and wild-caught mountain trout. A bit of control freak on women’s make-up. But I was delighted to know that he is a good listener, and likes to say yes to his citizens requests .
Certainly, not the type man that would do anything rash like a start a world war in 12 days.
For those of you who don’t can’t read the article there isn’t a line in the piece that is critical of the man.
The NY Times also ran a story after Hitler was released from jail saying he was chastened and unlikely to make waves in the future.
That byline must have been Susan Collins.
This seems good, on the surface, but that’s a big ship to turn around, even if anyone really wants to turn it around.
I really, really hope that it’s a) true, and b) gets ratings/money/etc… but I suspect at least one of those things is not the case.
If every show on CNN was more like The Colbert Show I’d actually watch the network! Sadly that’s never going to happen.
Is this the metric system the rest of the world keeps touting about?

What kind of measurement is a giraffe!? And which half? How is it bisected? Kind of makes a big difference here. If we’re doing upper and lower, was it the size of a giraffe’s neck and head, or it’s torso and legs?
I don’t understand why they couldn’t use a more universal and easy to understand measurement, like Rhode Islands.

A halfraffe is about the size of a bloated hippopotamus standing on tiptoes in river muck, but not as many people are familiar with that one.
“Small space boulder about the size of a large space boulder.”
You get hit by half a giraffe moving at terminal velocity and you got major problems. That shit is going to leave a mark.
