Jalapenos have a specific flavor and they're prolific bearers of fruit, maybe that's part of it

The animal industries have their own lobbying and disinformation campaigns. The pro-corporate media environment is an inextricable part of capitalist society. Their CEOs and those of Exxon et al are all basically saying "we're doing what we're permitted to do, it's your job to reign us in for any social good whatsoever". Any rational actor in a society that permits this will do this if given the opportunity. They're products of their environment. Sometimes they'll get ratioed on X, and agree to some small concession, a mere unconscious twitch of the power of the people causing multibillion $ companies to yelp in terror.

You could probably get 5000 or so with a good enough search query and mark them all as spam.

In a way, he's right. You can't expect a trillion dollar private company to do anything but maximize profits any way they can get away with. It's in the interest of the public to overthrow capitalism and the responsibility falls on us to understand this and do this. ExxonMobil exists with the consent of the masses.

They usually honor unsubscribe requests per-campaign but if you click "show original" in gmail you may see other brokers who are facilitating emailing you, like action network and NGP VAN. You can create an account in action network with your email and unsubscribe to everything they've got on their website. You can email [email protected] and ask them to block your email address in their tool.

I have a filter that takes anything that has the word "unsubscribe" in it and labels it "crap" and skips the inbox. Anything that has an unsubscribe link, you surely don't need to read it.

I auto-delete emails that "have the words" ( trump OR congress OR senate OR pac ) AND unsubscribe

I skimmed it. I don't need convincing that NYT are lying hacks. It's pretty small potatoes imo compared to their usual shenanigans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_New_York_Times_controversies

I thought by the headline they were talking about this https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7/

Usually NYT can be found with their lips on the metaphorical ring of the neoliberal western order, so if they're not full-throated in support of one of its champions, that's a little interesting but not very.

TLDR they're somehow not kissing Biden's ass enough for Salon, no mention of leaks or fabricated stories

Not surprised, considering the equivalent tariffs on the import of solar modules under Biden, Trump and Obama.

Francis is a good guy for a pope, which is a really low bar.
