And 'simple' is just fine.

If it's that bad, then you should be able to succinctly explain why it's bad.

The notion of 'in group vs. out group' compassion changing over time seems to be a secular, noteworthy shift, that doesn't seem to get that much attention.

On my TikTok account, I've seen a few people talking about 'dumping people on the other side' because 'we don't sleep with the enemy' - which was really scary to hear out of the mouths of 'probably still teens'.

There is definitely a generational issue here because some of us are old enough to absolutely remember that 'it was not like this', but for others 'it's normal'.

Just like all news, we take it with a grain of salt, but I think it's a refreshing perspective worth hearing, certainly not a narrative you find that much in the bigger outlets.

The reporting in there was just phenomenal.

And then presumably some conservative billionaire took it over and turned it into fox news light.

Jared Kushner did the Observer takeover and turned it from something very weird and entertaining and serious and very New York into a directionless soup of trivialities.

I used to buy and actually read the physical weird-somewhat-grapefruit-pink-colored newspaper on my way to/from my office near wall street.

Sometimes things 'back in the day' really were a lot better.
