It was toeing the right-wing line of "Jeong is a racist who says racist things just take a look at how racist she is"

All of the comments were lambasting bbc for swallowing the right-wing take hook line and sinker

it wasn't even the mealy mouthed "are these problematic tweets racist?", the headline was literally "NYT defend's racist's tweets"

it should be noted that the goal isn't to get jeong fired, it's to use it as a wedge to "redpill normies" as they say: having someone appear to be racist to white people means that it's ok for all racists on twitter or wherever

Seattle solves homelessness by tripling down on fart apps. everything is such garbage

quote:

Tech companies such as Amazon opposed Seattle’s short-lived head tax on large businesses to pay for homeless services and housing, but Mayor Jenny Durkan now says they can assist the city in other ways.

Rather than tap the companies’ bank accounts, she wants Seattle to tap their know-how. For example, they could help the city design apps for social services, Durkan says.

The mayor has convened an Innovation Advisory Council to seek advice on challenges such as homelessness and transportation, she announced Thursday during a news conference at Zillow’s downtown headquarters. She described the panel as a “new collaboration with Seattle’s technology community that will better highlight technology solutions.”
