This is an audio-only post from October, 2025 about two boffo investigations by The New York Times, and I’m not being sarcastic:
The Billionaire, the Psychodelics and the Best-Selling Memoir
‘I Have Cancer.’ the TikTok Star Said. Then Came the Torrent of Hate
Also:
Your furniture could be killing you and the NYT doesn’t care.
The Times defends a “good riddance” post about Charlie Kirk’s death.
Who gets cancelled more?
My second story was about Sydney Towle — the cute Dartmouth grad, who posted adorable TikTok videos, got a rare cancer, and continued posting during her journey through surgeries and chemo, but was met with a torrent of hate from mean girls accusing her of faking her cancer.
The Times article last October redeemed her.
Yesterday, August 6, 2026, the paper ran her obituary.
