New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger has issued a lengthy warning in the Washington Post (9/5/24) on the dangers another Donald Trump presidency would pose to a “free and independent press.”
You might expect this to be a prelude to an announcement that the New York Times would work tirelessly to defend democracy. Instead, Sulzberger heartily defends his own miserably inadequate strategy of “neutrality”—which, in practice, is both-sidesing—making plain his greater concern for the survival of his own newspaper than the survival of US democracy.

It wasn’t pedantry, it was a (poor) attempt at humor lol
When I get pedantic for real, it’s MUCH more annoying and I usually stop myself before hitting send 😁
Oh! We both might’ve missed the mark then, I was trying to yes and the joke you made.
Also I didn’t know about Proto-Elamite tech at all. Thanks for the links!
