In my experience books are always better than the movie. Movie adaptations are visual cliff notes. They can be excellent but they are very different mediums so I’ve learned to appreciate each for their own joys.

My great aunts & grandfather were in their 20’s & 30’s during The Great Depression. They saved & reused everything. The eldest died aged 99 in 1999. We found balls of string, pantyhose, masking tape, rubber bands. Nothing was wasted. Everything was repurposed.

To anyone who thinks men have gotten worse over time when it comes to violence against women: let’s not forget that this country was built on white men owning and raping enslaved women. It’s always been there. The only thing that changes is the outfit it wears.

I think referring to nyt politics coverage as “nonideological, bipartisan, centrist” is not accurate and does their PR for them. “Reactionary, performatively naive” would be better.

Thank you, Perry. So important. "The problem is the paper’s coverage approach combined with its huge influence on Democrats and liberals." Bingo: Correct way to practice politics in 26 is to read NYT but remember that much of the essential news to save our democracy has been fit to print elsewhere.
The Times has the right to cover America in 2026 this way. And there is nothing inherently wrong with centrist, nonideological media, or coverage that doesn’t use blunt language to describe today’s Republican Party. The problem is the paper’s coverage approach combined with its huge influence on Democrats and liberals. The mistakes that Democrats have made in fighting the MAGA right have been numerous and deeply costly: believing that Trump won in 2016 largely because of economy anxiety, trusting that Joe Biden’s conciliatory approach would bring politics back to normal, refusing to push Biden to stop fully supporting Israel’s war in Gaza, spending much of last year not fighting hard against Trump’s destruction of federal agencies and radical immigration policies. 

In my view, the Times helped lead Democrats to all of those fateful decisions. The paper’s coverage hints that the Republican Party is reasonable and parts of the Democratic Party base are unreasonable. That approach pushes Democrats away from the reality: The MAGA right must be defeated, not negotiated with.
