New York Times Public Editor Margaret Sullivan has updated a post she published this morning regarding Alessandra Stanley's wildly racist article about Shonda Rhimes where she repeatedly called her an Angry Black Woman.

Those who were displeased with Alessandra Stanley's piece about Shonda Rhimes will be pleased to note that New York Times Public Editor Margaret Sullivan has weighed in on the article. It appears that she agrees with its many, many critics.

Oh, hello New York Times, it's so nice of you to come! I've been wondering when you were going to show up. Unfortunately, the spinach artichoke dip is a bit cold and the champagne has gone flat. Most of the guests are pretty tired. I don't know if you heard, but the party started about 50 years ago.

A few notable lines from the New York Times Magazine profile of Lena Dunham:

Now that vapes are the subject of licensing deals between manufacturers and celebrities—Snoop Dogg, 2 Chainz, Claw Money—they're fashionable enough to be featured in the New York Times Style section. Finally, people are acknowledging what most of us already knew: getting high is cool.

Last week, the New York Times' first female executive editor Jill Abramson was unceremoniously fired; it was rumored that a salary dispute was the cause (the New Yorker reports that her starting salary was $84,000 less than that of her male predecessor, which the Times denies).

Jill Abramson might be considering a discrimination suit against the New York Times, but she’s using a punching bag to do it.

There is speculation tonight whether or not a dispute over salary inequities eventually led to the firing of New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson.

Jill Abramson is leaving the New York Times, where she was the paper's first female executive editor.

If you're trying to keep your special day about you, here's some advice: Don't ask your grandma to be your bridesmaid. You think a 5-year-old with a basket of rose petals and a penchant for being photographed might steal the show? Well, you haven't seen anything yet. The New York Times just posted a video about three…

Brush the cat hair off your most celebratory cardigan and slice yourself some night cheese, because being a cat lady is now très chic. Or at least it's a sign of independence and joie de vivre, rather than sad resignation to a life alone. Progress!

Oh look, it's Benedict Cumberbatch on the cover of T, the New York Times style magazine. Standing next to a window. Thinking of you.

Last week, the New York Times ran "Room for Debate" feature centered on CVS' recent decision to stop selling tobacco products. The question posed was fairly innocuous: "What Unhealthy Products Should CVS Stop Selling?" Three of the four responses were about products that have been proven to pose actual health risks…

This evening, New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan wondered in her "journal" (blog) whether the Times should have devoted more coverage to the annual "March for Life" in Washington D.C., happening this year for the 41st time. She quotes an email from one "Francis H. Hoffman":

The "Gods of Food" in America's restaurant industry are starting to reflect a more gender equal pool, according to a New York Times profile on the next generation of female chefs, and the changes that are allowing them to succeed in this profession.

Last week, the upper torso of an anonymous woman appeared on the front page of the New York Times — and caused a bit of a stir. While the woman remains anonymous, she has written a letter responding to Times readers.
