I am an appellate lawyer and persnickety dude. As a hobby, I correct typos in the Times, which no longer employs copy editors and consequently has tons of typos
I don't want to get anyone fired during a pandemic, but when one lawyer chilling in his apartment can make the biggest paper in the world delete 5 tweets a day because of dumb typos and grammatical errors, shouldn't that paper hire a less crappy social media team?
Have the police actually been defunded anywhere? If not, it seems weird for the Times to print an interview with someone who's deluded or just making stuff up, without even noting parenthetically that he's wrong.
I told Roxane Gay that both she and someone who wrote a letter to her in her “Work Friend” column misspelled predominantly as “predominately” and she said this to me
Jasmine Crockett truly has the worst grammar and diction of anyone I've ever heard in Congress. Here she is triggered to respond to Nancy Mace's statements that Hunter Biden exhibited white privilege
I am also told that the original magazine cover had commas and appears to have been Photoshopped for grammar Twitter engagement bait, which is a shitty thing to do to a dog rescue magazine
I don’t think you can just stealth-edit in the information that your race-scientist source of Mamdani’s hacked college app “writes often about I.Q. and race”; I think you’re going to have to run a correction and admit that your original copy was wildly misleading. cc @Rogene
NEW: Mamdani has made his identity as a Muslim immigrant of South Asian descent a key pt of his appeal.
But he claimed another label when he applied to Columbia. Asked to ID his race, he checked that he was “Asian” but also “Black or African American”

Here's a thought: what if the Times hired back some of the dozens of copy-editors it laid off, people who are actually literate, and asked them to write tweets?
