"Fuck The Fucking New York Times"
An expression of anger at the New York Times for their coverage of elections involving Donald Trump. Among the papers deeply flawed habits:
- Summarizing Trump's speeches to make it seem like he said something sane ("Trump spoke about strengthening the borders.") rather printing what he actually said ("Immigrants are poisoning the blood of our nation!").
- Only interviewing Trump voters to get the pulse of "real America" (and somehow always talking to Republican Party officials without identifying them as such).
- Innumerable articles in Hillary Clinton's emails while paying scant attention to Trump's bankruptcies, tax evasion, sexual assaults, ties to the Russian government, racism, stupidity, etc., etc, ...
This is not to say that the NYT were the only ones doing this. Other media from NPR to The Washington Post to CNN displayed similar behavior. Part of the problem is a misplaced sense of neutrality, wherein anything bad written about Republicans must be "balanced" by something bad about Democrats (the opposite is never the case). The primary reason, however, is that Trump is great for ratings.
"Donald Trump may be bad for America, but he's great for CBS." -- Les Moonves, CEO of CBS
Also, media companies are owned by billionaires, so they vote for their own interests: tax cuts, monopolies, lax regulations, and union-busting.

Trump begins to hand over Ukraine to Russia and blames Ukraine for starting the war. Actual NYT headline: "Fair or Not, Zelensky is Angering Trump. Is His Style Hurting Ukraine?" No, that would be Russian missiles and bombs falling on Ukrainian cities. FTFNYT!

Grindset
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
