The finger-snapping thing is goofy as all get-out ... Many moons ago we attended a very hip Easter Vigil service at this bier garten in Austin. It was a very ... ahem ... contemporary service, with all sorts of artistic contributions interspersed with the liturgy. (Our son had performed in a strings quartet in it the year before.) One of the contributions was from a young Black "slam poet" whose offering was, essentially, "Random Ruminations on Black Pride", which to my ear had fuck-all in the way of connections with the service. Still, fine ... What was hi-fucking-larious were all these middle-aged, way-upper-middle-class whiteys (this was an Episcopalian service, mind you), doing the finger-snapping thing. Give me a fucking break. You ain't with it, you ain't never been with it, you ain't ever gonna be with it. Just applaud politely and think about the cage-free mimosas you're serving tomorrow morning. You need Black people to keep the white people in check.

This is amazing.
Times management is not happy about leaks from their newsroom, and they are asking reporters to name names.
We haven't seen this since the Red Scare in Hollywood.

Dr. Ford wishes she had this kind of corroboration.

Maybe NBC’s disinformation guy should have reported out the story.

Still looking for any reporting that casts doubt on this story.

Hopefully the BIPOC staffers at the Times are all safe.

Amazing that the Times is for this, but was against National Guard troops preventing riots and looting.
