The New York Post has never had a reputation of strong writing Tom Send a noteboard - 22/08/2024 01:08:13 PM

I tend to like their politics better than the Times, but the writing is not professional. Mistakes like the one you saw are ubiquitous and their full-throated support of the long suicide of the Ukrainian population makes me sad.

What the Post is good at, of course, are wonderful headlines with puns and cute word play, like the now world-famous "Headless Body Found in Topless Bar", a headline so good it became a title of a book dedicated solely to Post headlines (which is really good, by the way).

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
