actual nytimes headline FEMA Official Says He Teleported to Waffle House. Experts Are Dubious.
you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes wonβt both sides
the nytimes:
1. I would vote for anyone who could win a Democratic primary in 2028
2. I will vote for the most credible left candidate in the primary
3. The two-party system is bad and we should replace it with proportional representation
4. The presidency is bad and we should replace it with a Prime Minister

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

Happy #FCF to all who celebrate
A new study of the last 50 years of US pop music shows βa significant increase in stress-related language, alongside declines in positive sentiment and lyrical complexity.β
People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

If Iβm understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."
