This is the most terrifying thing in any society. Knowing that your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and yes, even your family, may turn on you if it ensures (In their mind anyways) their safety from the oppressors.We here at Wat Tyler World Domination and Extreme Tyranny Enterprises LTD would like to apologize for the silly content in some of the recently preceding posts. Whereas we can make no assurances that it will not happen again, rest assured that there will be copious scoldings distributed accordingly.
Or not.
And we are crystalline on how the gods feel about pussies.
Dear Reader,
Donald Trump’s victory this week may feel, to some, beyond comprehension. But it must be reckoned with and understood, with both rigor and humility. When it comes to the work that we set out to do at The New Yorker, little has changed. The work is to get the story right, to be fair and accurate, to write with an open mind and without fear.1
A primary role of the press has always been to apply pressure to power. I’ve always thought that we should take Donald Trump at his word. When a candidate for President tells the American people that he is going to use his power to initiate mass deportations, when he threatens to pursue and punish the “enemy within,” we should take it seriously, and not simply wait for it to happen or wish it away. And, if and when he follows through on those dark vows, we need to report on it, with a sense of scope, clarity, and resolve. 2
Everyone, especially those in positions of power or influence, has a choice: to act with decency and resolution or to promote or abide cruelty. Here at The New Yorker, we are committed to the standards that have long guided us. We make mistakes, to be sure, but we strive always to do what we can to help our readers be more informed, more attuned to the art and beauty around us, more committed to a shared sense of civic life. 3
The New Yorker is celebrating its centenary in February, 2025. This is just weeks after Trump will begin his second term in the White House. He is not going anywhere, but neither are we. Thank you for being part of our endeavor to put facts, narrative, and accountability at the forefront. Democracy depends on a free press, and we depend on you, our readers, for the support of your subscription. It means more today than ever before. 4
As ever,
David Remnick
Editor, The New Yorker
1: True. Please be the best you can be. Just the facts, ma'am, without the editorializing, hysteria, drama, and incendiary rhetoric. Please!!!
2: "Dark vows" is editorializing and use of incendiary rhetoric. Kindly never wonder why the American people who are not elitists and who don't reside in ivory towers anywhere have given you press folks an eye roll at best and an ignore at the most likely.
3: Thank you. Kindly take to task those of your preferred party and their divisive comments and commentary about a large percentage of the US people. And if you want to investigate something, please find out which administration personnel pulled the wool over the collective public eye about the decline and fall of 46's brain function and thought the subterfuge would continue successfully through his re-election campaign. Find out what cabal of cunts is responsible and give them over to us to hold up to ridicule in the manner the populace sees fit.
4: Kindly do better. Progress, not perfection.
This is the most terrifying thing in any society. Knowing that your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and yes, even your family, may turn on you if it ensures (In their mind anyways) their safety from the oppressors.
