I mean, what do they think they're doing? What did they say to each other as they chose to put this material on the front page — right under stories about Zelensky at the White House, the National Guard in Washington D.C., terrorism in Texas, and Hurricane Erin? Let's revisit the legacy of slavery and balance it with closeups of black asses? It's as if they had to meet a racial quota and brainstormed and juxtaposed the first 2 things they thought of.

If I had to rank women by race that would be parading around in "tiny bikini bottoms" (hey, NYTimes, get with the culture -- "thong bikinis" have been around close to two decades), black women would not be on the top of the list. TBH, no heavyset women would be.
For some reason, I get no feelings of joy or satisfaction dwelling on bad things that happened to my ancestors. Nor do I get any sense of fulfillment from bringing them to the attention of others. I move forward, not knowing or caring about the bad people that kicked my forbears off their farm and out of Sweden.
Why do you continue to do this? It looks self-loathing at this point…
A page one feature on tits would have done well. The paper has to be less dreary on page one.
The National Guard story really caught my eye. Something about the "GOP-led states to send hundreds more National Guard troops to D.C." headline sounds a little...provocative. The WaPo should either come out and say why it is significant or unusual, or it should move along.
…but it’s a glorious Sunday so let us focus on the WaPoo content. May I suggest Larissa’s trout for a cringey laugh?
The Civil War ended in 1865.
Wait till Jimmy Kimmel finds out that the Romans were inveterate slavers on scale that dwarfs anything the United States practiced.
WaPoo has full coverage of the cheeky bikini trend…
At Alabama Plantation rich white people and black people team up to paint all white people as evil and to promote efforts to have the Government steal money from and persecute white people based on their race.
Without clicking through I am going to assume it is Rich White Women because everyone knows the source of almost all of this countries problems right now are college educated white women who are stupidly doing the bidding of a very small number of elite white men.
I'm reminded of something I noticed when I visited Graceland.
For the most part, the visitors were white.
For the most part, the employees were black.
Makes you think.
I only see one black ass in that montage, but YMMV.
The descendants of the enslavers and those of the enslaved are often the very same people, as viewers of Skip Gates' show "Finding Your Roots" can attest.
…’full coverage’ I say…

Tricknojournalism: "The techniques of deception and manipulation employed by a dominant group (WaPo) to disempower a weaker one (readers)."

"Interestingly, breasts, and the desire for them, are stereotyped as objects of white desire, as opposed to, say, the Black man’s hunger for ass."

So they fired up WPAI, asked it to hit the front-page quotas, and got: “war, hurricane, terrorism, slavery, summer wear.” Then they prompted: “Plantation photo for slavery. Close-ups of bikini bottoms trending on TikTok.” Done.
Sometimes prompt engineering is hard.
It's August, the interns are in charge at the Post. I used to notice it every year back when I subscribed.
Lauren Sanchez was guest editor?
"(hey, NYTimes, get with the culture -- "thong bikinis" have been around close to two decades"
1. It's WaPo
2. "Thong bikinis first gained popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s, particularly in Brazil, where they were popularized on beaches like Ipanema and Copacabana. The style, inspired by traditional South American beachwear and the broader trend of minimal swimwear, spread globally by the mid-1980s, becoming a bold fashion statement in Western countries. Their rise was tied to the era's emphasis on body-conscious fashion and the influence of Brazilian culture in media and fashion" (Grok).
Looks like multi-generational guilt, cheekiness, and looking at the WaPo on Sunday morning is how you live your life once you become a master of the universe, like those folks who stir the drink in DC and NYC. That's a heckuva goal to have until you figure our what really matters. Finding that out can take a whole lifetime, though.
Some may find it cheeky to mention this to people who have advanced degrees, so YMMV.
"does this thong make my ass look too big?" - I didn't read that this morning, did I?
It's pretty obvious this is an A/B test. Media companies do this all the time. They'll print two stories with exactly opposing headlines, then see which one gets more engagement (which is all that advertisers care about - not slaves). They are testing to see which story gets more clicks. They don't give a single fuck about the slaves - if it don't get clicks. Only the $$$.
I can bet you the ass one gets more clicks.
The purpose of the A/B test is to measure what their audience will click on. And then they'll print that. And it doesn't matter to them what "that" is ... the results of the A/B test rule. If their readers click on anti-Trump pieces, then they print those. If they don't click on those and instead click on pro-Trump puff pieces, then they'll print those.
They don't care about Trump one way or the other. They do this testing ALL THE TIME. Every day. They are feeding the echo chamber whatever the echo chamber demands to get engagement.
And as Sydney Sweeney proved to them: Who doesn't love a nice young ass in a thong bikini?
**It's as if they had to meet a racial quota and brainstormed and juxtaposed the first 2 things they thought of. **
The problem is you still think of them as journalists rather than a propaganda outlet pretending to still be journalists.
Is it appropriate for a Sunday newspaper to be cheeky?
Snap poll: Do Progressive Democrats celebrate the anniversary of the end of the Civil War, or the beginning?
Say “no!” to bubble butts and spider butts.
Imagine taking your cultural cues from WaPo. At this point, Buckley's suggestion about being governed by the first 100 names in the phone book has been supplanted by the top influencers on YouTube.
Bikini bottoms aren't getting smaller.
Layers and layers of editors...
Those are some Caucasian asses, ma'am.
When is the last time you been to a beach? With other people? lol.
"The problem is you still think of them as journalists rather than a propaganda outlet pretending to still be journalists."
Why would I write blog posts like this if I had the "problem" you ascribe to me? Why do you read a blog you don't understand? Or do you understand it and chose to insult me?
Begley proffered, without evidence: "The Civil War ended in 1865."
Yeah, no.
Dogma (or was it Pony?) observed: "I only see one black ass in that montage, but YMMV."
Blacks are over-represented in this image. Of the four ass photos (side-ass really) in this montage, 25% are black asses ... despite the fact that blacks only make up 13% of the American population and according to United States Supreme Court decisions, only count as 3/5ths of a person to start with.
Waaaaay over-represented.
Or maybe WAPo editors have studied their Nietzsche: "You will never get the crowd to cry 'Hosanna' unless you ride into town on an ass."
Leftmediaswine: Enemies of the people and the people’s Republic.
I think they're pissed off that they didn't get the cease fire (and the subsequent 'Russia violated the cease fire' story the next day) WWIII trigger they wanted. By late in the day we'll see the 'Zelensky is going to get bullied' stories so like Annie they go to bed dreaming of a brighter tomorrow.
Maybe they are letting AI pick the stories.
if you think of the Post, like a great novel, of the times, like Ward Just well it fails on that score as well,
What you should do, is start off with a large bottom, and change to smaller and smaller ones as the day progresses, then at the end of the day you can present the unadorned article to the sole successful bidder and avoid devaluation by over exposure.
An alien watching TV commercials or reading magazines in the US would think that 90% of the population is black.
Its amazing how some mysterious someone flips and switch, and presto chango every MSM news outlet and book publisher starts using the new "Politically correct" cant phrase. So "slaves, owners" Is out. "enslaved and enslavers" is in.
And everyone just goes along. Of course, to a degree its "fashion" and women love fashion. So everyone who pushes back against the new cant phrase are men.
Anyway, talking about slavery is boring. It died 160 years ago, and its not coming back. But Libtards love to talk about it. "Why, I wish I could go back in time and punch Jeff Davis in the nose. Nobody hates slavery more than me".
Virtue signaling.
I thought the whole string bikini thing has been around for 25 years. At least. The Euros go topless, has that happened yet in the USA, and if not, why not?
Why is a supposedly "serious" newspaper giving us pictures of cute female ass? Don't we all know what an ass looks like in a bikini?
Why not show us some proud fatty in a string bikini? Or a 70 year old women? That at least, would be interesting.
its the 1619 narrative preserved in aspic, now this kind of coverage affects foreigners views of America, see Ken Follett's last Never, which was passable but full of tropes,
although his rose colored view of 20th Century America, starting with Fall of Giants, was myopic enough,
Iman writes, "Say 'no!' to bubble butts and spider butts.
Spider butts, spider butts,
Definitely not
Above the cuts.
Asses spread
To ever greater size.
Catching stares and the booby prize.
Come on! Give me a normal back side.
I don’t think there’s a down side.
Give me a normal butt!

Enslavers and enslaved people find teeny-weeny itsy-bitsy black and white polka dot bit of common ground.
Hurrah!
Now on to the critique of the asses.
the Bezos Post even with the dismissals has a tenuous connection to reality, 'they print the legend' as the line from Liberty Valance, says,
"...according to United States Supreme Court decisions, only count as 3/5ths of a person to start with...."
Oh the sorry depths to which education has sunk.
That B2 flyover Trump gave to Putin was awesome… on the red carpet, Putin looks up like WTF!… Trump pokes him and sez, “I was just fuckin’ with ya, big guy!”
you don't have to go to an ivy league to be that ignorant, but it helps,

What JAORE said @137PM.
Prof seems to have brought out the snarking dumbos with this post.
"but many customers are looking for more teenie-weenie in their bikini bottoms."
where is Laslo Spatula and the pony-tailed girl when we need them?
“When you go from booty-covered to thong, you encounter things like butt acne,” Taylor said. “You are entering into a vulnerable territory, and I think you’re either open to it or you’re not.”
This seems to me to be valuable information that I would not have known without the article in the Post.
The author of the piece is as Gay as Liberace so I have to question his expertise in judging female anatomical display.
…fresh off two weeks at Lake Tahoe I can report the thong issue has migrated to the one piece…so the women on foils and paddle boards displayed, for better or worse..
"Prof seems to have brought out the snarking dumbos with this post."
Here comes the comment judge. thanks for the pronouncement and ruling Judge. Glad you're here, policing everyone. And judging. Too bad you have no power to pass a sentence.
"Here comes the comment judge."
Stated, as usual, without a hint of irony.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/shane-oneill/ another fictional character,
Why would I write blog posts like this if I had the "problem" you ascribe to me? Why do you read a blog you don't understand?
…who knows? Once you believed your critique would encourage msm to do better, whatever that meant. You are sometimes deliberately obtuse to ‘leave yourself an out’ or some such…you are the person that supplied ‘proof’ there was no election tampering because if there was WAPo and NYT would be reporting it…by the Thursday after the election. O don’t recall any retraction of that in any form. So pardon commenters who grate or those of us here for the commentariat…
Just trying to satisfy the ”Black man’s hunger for ass" as they say in The New Yorker. Prurient page clicks are still page clicks.
I first encountered a teeny tiny thong bikini bottom on a Caribbean beach 50 plus years ago. Wife and I were on our honeymoon so it was strictly “eyes front”!
The New York Times and Washington Post have supported the Democrats’ efforts to use identity politics to divide people by race and set them at each other’s throats since at least Obama’s Inauguration in 2005, if not earlier. It must come as a major matter of wonderment that people of different races with long ago grudges can work cooperatively here in the 21st century to benefit all involved.
… according to United States Supreme Court decisions, only count as 3/5ths of a person to start with.
The 3/5 rule was explicitly removed from the Constitution by the 13th Amendment.
