NYT doing what it loves most. Besmirch

Disgusting.

If Trump would have win a second term, this article would have been the final nail in the coffin for any further clemency efforts. But with Biden as president, there isn't really any hopes for individual pardons again anyway.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-24/toilet-paper-is-next-likely-victim-of-world-s-container-crisis

Headline got me scared at first (oh no, not another toilet paper shortage), but upon reading the article it seems like the US would be spared as we are on the same side of the globe as Brazil.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Crazy story. Boggles my mind that a 3 year old survived over 72 hours in a forest alone in the cold, presumably without any food or drink. Can't imagine what the kid went through mentally, though maybe he's so young that he didn't understand the gravity of the situation. They did not expect this outcome after 72 hours.

Should serve as a reminder to all parents of how careful one has to be near wilderness like this...

A mum broke down in tears on her son's wedding day after finding out the woman
he was marrying was actually her long-lost daughter. The woman reportedly spotted
a birthmark on the bride's hand which mimicked that of her lost daughter's and that's
what led her to the discovery.
(Photo caption: The tear-jerking reunion happened in Suzhou, Jiangsu province in China on March 31.)
After spotting the distinct mark, the woman asked the bride's parents if they
had adopted the daughter more than 20 years ago, Times Now News reports.
It's been reported that that family were shocked by the question as the adoption had long
been a secret, but they eventually admitted they'd found her as a baby by the roadside.
The bride was completely unaware of her true birth story and later described the moment
as "happier than the wedding day itself." Naturally, she became concerned that she was
about to marry her older brother - until things took another strange turn. It was reportedly
revealed that he had also been adopted - so they weren't biological siblings after all.
It appears as if the woman adopted a son after failing to find her missing daughter,
Oriental Daily reported - despite having looked for her for years without success.
The bride was reportedly "relieved" and they went ahead with the wedding ceremony after all.

Maybe this is the Purim edition of the NY Times? Or an April fool's article published late? Pretty mind blowing
