    Jeet Heer Retweeted New York Times Opinion

    You remember how the apes reacted to the black monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey? Their sheer bafflement? That's basically me reading the Times op-ed section. It's sometime beyond my ken.https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/965122180609699840 …

        Of all the things that are bad for women, yoga pants aren't even in the top 5000.

        Yep. What's bad for women is body-shaming, telling us we should hide our bodies in shame if "over 30," and being judged solely on our appearance.

        My own view is that much of their editorial practice is an attempt to disprove the existence of Krugman, who is a) a shrill leftist and b) quite popular. And they *hate* him for it. So they keep on hiring Polite Centrists and losing their minds when everyone laughs at them.

        It's like the Munsters, with Paul Krugman and Charles Blow platooning as Marilyn.

        You are saying NYT is incomprehensible hi-tech? It produces bafflement akin to Trump really.

        It's truly horrible. Does anyone over there even read the columns before they publish them?
