Thread. The New York Times coverage of the police search for the killer of the health insurance CEO is getting weird. One aspect of it is pretty dark.

Deadly new directive from Taliban leader (pictured) bans women’s health training leaving them w/out midwives or female health workers. Male doctors banned from treating women &female workers can’t be trained.This erases women’s access to healthcare & is a death sentence to women.

Surreal scenes from Tbilisi as a young brave woman breaks through riot police barrier screaming: “Is it me you are afraid of?!”

In the US there has been a spike in searches for how to emigrate to Canada/Europe.

The shift toward authoritarianism is a global phenomenon; we are still in the early stages of a long-term trend that will likely engulf most liberal democracies in the coming years/decades.

@McFaul Not always so clear-cut. You would be surprised how many reactionary right-wing extremists exist within the Polish community in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (also the birthplace of the proud boys). Disinformation via social media is rampant and pervasive especially among older people.

@SquarespaceHelp hi we are having an extremely urgent issue with a domain that has become disconnected from its website. Have sent you a DM.

I started out thinking the Times had a small problem. But it's a big one. Related but far greater than really every other major media problem. I don't really fully understand its origins. But I know it when I see it.

I feel like this is something that should be a much bigger story than it is: Starting next year, American passport-holders won't have visa-free access to Europe.

Instead, you'll have to pay 7 Euros and wait *14 days* for an entry visa to be processed.

I keep coming back to this line from Asteroid City. We don’t need to know all the answers to all our questions, we don’t need to understand every moment we are living though, we just need to keep living, just keep telling the story, and I think that’s just beautiful.

New: @nycmayor is bowing to pressure from a powerful local business (and from one of his own top advisers) and ordering @nyc_dot to come up with alternatives to the long-planned redesign of deadly McGuinness Boulevard in Brooklyn. https://t.co/i5tNlQaQBy

Among several graphs showing unprecedented current climate extremes it is the ones showing the growing anomaly in Antarctic sea ice extent that I find most concerning.
