It's a really bad look either way. If they did, they are currently screaming from the rooftops things best never even uttered quietly. If they didn't, they have editors who are incompetent enough to miss an obvious major issue on an epically badly timed date. No matter which it is, the NYT is taking a major hit to credibility.

I have to go with Hanlon:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Or rather, White Innocence & Ignorance

I don't believe it was intentional, if for no other reason than it's really really hard to build crossword puzzles in the first place, much less build them trying to create a specific pattern in the negative space. It's also more of a spiral and you have to fudge a bit to get the swastika in there.

BUT because humans associate so easily, and they mentally create alignments from very little input, that is a really unfortunate design. Mrs. Beebo -- without any prompting or clues from the context -- saw the swastika implications from across the room.

Me: "Hey, look at this crossword puzzle that the NY Times published."

Her (face frozen in shock): Oh my god! How could they NOT see that?

And on Hanukkah, too? Oh yeah, I put this down as a catastrophic editorial oversight.

I'm honestly willing to bet someone worked really hard to make a cool spiral and was so engrossed into that task that they didn't realize that a spiral with straight lines looks like THAT.

To be accurate, since most of the 1950s legislators, and probably many who were high school students at the time must be dead by now, I think it's more that the children and grandchildren of the people who were trying to stop Black kids going to school don't want their own children to learn what their grandparents and great-parents were doing back then.

This woman escaped justice and lived a full life. I want hell to exist for her:

Woman whose accusation led to the lynching of Emmett Till has died at 88, coroner says | CNN

Carolyn Bryant Donham, the White woman whose accusation led to the 1955 lynching of Black teen Emmett Till in Mississippi -- and whose role in the brutal death was reconsidered by a grand jury as recently as last year -- has died in Louisiana, the Calcasieu Parish coroner's office confirmed to CNN.

A lot of conservatives seem to no see anything as racist as long as it's not quite 100% overt. If you have at least a thin, THIN layer of rationalization, they see it as fine. "I hate n*ggers" is of course racist Scott Adams talking about how he avoids black people because of crime statistics is totally fine... totally reasonable to them.

The people that bankroll these professional hate-spewing cancerous tumors clearly aren't being taxed enough.

Would love to see how long they'd keep dogwhistling the same tune once their funding dries up.

They can say it on Twitter now anytime. If they don't want to say it out loud tell them a real man says what he means. "You're putting the pussy back in pussyfooting."

Restaurant owner says printing N-word on Black customer's receipt was meant as a 'joke'

www.rawstory.com

Local news station WTAJ reported that a customer, who is being identified only as a woman named "Kassie," went to pick up an order recently at the Aviation Inn in Duncansville, and was immediately disturbed when the restaurant went silent upon her entrance.

Kassie then picked up her order and found a receipt that described her as "n---er chik."

She later called the restaurant to complain to a manager about her treatment, and owner Allen Butterbaugh told her that one of his employees had written the description as a "joke" that was not supposed to be shared with her.

Of course it wasn't meant to be shared with her. You racist shitholes.

White House rejects Lauren Boebert’s claim that antisemitism plan will be used ‘go after conservatives’

Other than the fact that she's a complete harridan idiot, she's right. But we're only coming for conservatives because they're coming for our kids, our women, our rights. We must defend ourselves.

He did a good job of owning himself.

Christianity isn't a faith; it is a group of faiths that do not agree on doctrines. The bible not only condones slavery, but it also encourages it, regardless of which Testament it is in.

Not only are they throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but they're also tossing the tub out, too.

That's a like a farmer saying "This field is where my kernels of corn came to die!" ... Suuuuure. After being planted, watered, grown, harvested for every last penny of profit... and then, very reluctantly, tossed aside for the next crops that may never be quite as profitable.

YEP. The puritans ONLY acknowledged the sabbath because it's literally the only holiday explicitly mentioned in scripture. ...this is assuming you believe in scripture at all, which I don't...
