Time magazine has asked the Trump organisation to remove fake Time Magazine covers bearing his image that were on display at his golf clubs.
[...] The cover was reportedly on display at four other golf clubs owned by the US president.
The image, dated 1 March 2009, had never run in the magazine in any format, a Time spokeswoman said. The real March edition featured actor Kate Winslet.
"I can confirm that this is not a real Time cover," Kerri Chyka wrote to the Post. The paper said Time had asked the Trump organisation to remove the covers from display.

We've been here and serving up hundreds of thousands of pages per day. Nothing wrong with our DNS. Either your DNS provider is glitchy or someone is actively interfering with resolution of our domain like your government or employer.
I'd suggest setting up your own recursive name server if you continue having problems because the one you're using is apparently not trustworthy.

I once named the hostname of my router to a website out of curiosity and forgot. Took me several months to figure out why I was opening my router webpage every time I visited that website.

A fully qualified domain names ends in a period (like this: "https://soylentnews.org." instead of "https://soylentnews.org"). Stick the period on and you shouldn't have trouble getting captured by a local host name.

My ISP is one of the largest fiber optic ISPs in the country. It's actually a kind of resale operation for fiber from the largest ISP, who also owns more backbone than anyone else. There are actually a number of such quasi-subsidiaries for marketing purposes, though mine is one of the largest.
This loss of connectivity to Soylent News actually happened the first time a couple of months ago. During that outage I checked various possibilities. I determined that using a VPN with an American IP address would display the Soylent News webpages, but there were still problems when I logged in via that method. Because I suspected DNS problems, I also did some direct testing with the IP address, which also connected but caused different problems. Of course nslookup failed, but I used the domain registration information to get the IP address. That was enough to dissuade me from Tor-based experiments. If I had been strongly motivated or encouraged to diagnose the problem, I could have used several alternative wireless routings, too.
Since reading SN is such a low priority for me, I just ignored its absence and didn't waste any time tweaking my settings. For examples, I did not touch the hosts file or use alternative DNS servers. After a couple of days (weeks?) SN suddenly came back. I do not believe I had done anything to cut the access, and I am quite certain I did nothing to restore it. I reported the problems and received no thanks.
After a few weeks (months?) of access, SN disappeared again. That went on for a long time. Again, I did nothing to my settings. No other websites have had access problems that seem to correspond to or relate to the SN problem.
I suppose I could defend my technical chops, but why bother? It just saddens me to watch you fail. Slight sadness.
What should bother you [the vocal "advocates" or "defenders" of SN's "honor"] is that no one else notices your connectivity problems. Or perhaps no one else cares enough to make the effort to call them to your attention?
So why didn't I erase the bookmark the first time SN seemed to die? Just stupid optimism, I guess. Journalism is collapsing and I want to hope there are solutions. However, I think you have finally convinced me SN will make NO constructive contributions.
A little bit of hope died, but "fortunately" I never developed much regard for SN. Pompous asinine cliques of self-righteous fools never amount to much.
P.S. When I first tried to Submit this comment, it produced a remarkable obscure error. Excuse me for not caring.

Ahh, I understand now. You're complaining about a bug that you failed to even try to diagnose that was not on our end and talking shit about the site in the same breath. That being the case, I have a negative amount of fucks to give.

You're a little late. I already deleted the SN bookmark, though I hadn't closed this tab yet.
You're right about one thing. We don't know where the problem is, though I think I've done a better job of proving it isn't on my end than you've done in proving it isn't on yours. That leaves anywhere in between, though my only evidence is the negative lack of problem with any other websites. I do have to assess your competence by your posts and say I still think the problems are probably at the SN end. Not just the technical problems. The lack of significance.
As for your parting comment. I don't think you've ever had a fuck in your life. More sadness. Give my very best regards to your mom upstairs.

Your strong demotivation really comes through in your Slashdot comment history [slashdot.org]. I hope you can find an engaging site to "invest" your time in that doesn't rot before you do.
