@patrickhealynyt It’s hard to overstate my disappointment in the NYT, and the doubt this creates for readers like me

Is thus another “But Her Emails” and a bad decision, or is there real bias at play? Either way, it’s a poor application of your own standards, and driving away readers

[Oliver Strand @OliverStrand]

@patrickhealynyt You still don’t explain why the headline(s) continue to include two pieces of information (that he checked African and Asian boxes), but not the third, that, that he wrote in Ugandan

The hed lies by omission. It’s sensationalist, feeds an anti-woke stereotype

It’s Fox-like

Every day I am shocked by the actions that Donald Trump and Elon Musk have taken. I know that their recklessness is causing real and harmful damage to our nation, but you don’t just have to take me at my word.

You can see just a few of the many examples for yourself 🧵

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

Why does it take two people to head the Dept of Governmental Efficiency?

Instant coffee is good now, actually. We tried a ton of them to find the best. https://t.co/IlPFxM2xNt

I tried a lot of different instant coffees - results here ⬇️

What a fiasco

I'm 💯 for congestion pricing, was 💯 against @GovKathyHochul's plan

No carve-outs for residents? West Side Highway/FDR free access? Cutoff at 60th St? All so arbitrary.

Make it for 100% of Manhattan, 90% resident discount (like London)

@MTA Terrible descision. It levies an unfair tax on those who live in the zone - the wealthy won’t care, but those on a budget will be hit hard.

Another blow to the middle class, another step towards turning Manhattan into a luxury product

Coffee People: What do you do when you order $62 worth of coffee, it never arrives, and the roaster started by two US Barista Champions says "ah well tough luck nothing we can do" + ghosts you?

[Oliver Strand @OliverStrand]

@alexkaplan0 It’s not a happy situation, and not one to wish on anybody

[Oliver Strand @OliverStrand]

@alexkaplan0 Is it though?

You're saying it's the consumer's responsibility for something they never touched or saw?

That the seller packaged, labeled, insured, and shipped?

[Oliver Strand @OliverStrand]

@fac23head You reply to ask for clarification and hear nothing back

You find a phone number and call it, nothing

You DM on Insta, nothing

You did nothing wrong: You ordered + paid. But now you have no coffee, no refund, no recourse

In other words, Twitter was the 4th move, not the 1st

[Oliver Strand @OliverStrand]

@fac23head Let's say you had a long day working in a creative industry that's not well-paid but well-intentioned

You just helped your 88-y-o mother figure out some web stuff

Then you open an email that not only says you won't get the coffee you ordered, you're still going to be charged

[Oliver Strand @OliverStrand]

@mjbutterworth Is there any way for us to know that?

[Oliver Strand @OliverStrand]

New question for coffee people:

When you buy coffee on the web is the roaster responsible for shipping mishaps? And they should replace lost/damaged coffee?

Or is it on the buyer? And you assume 100% of the risk the moment you click PURCHASE?
