It’s so bad. I had no idea it was happening until it started.

I’m so sorry.

They give out awards and scholarships to journalists in the field. Which is why the solution is to announce the awards and scholarships and cancel the party.

Yup. Propagandist becomes a better word for them.

Open the schools! Lord between the stylist, the actor, the team, no one, no one saw this???

wait what? I thought she resigned. Can't keep up with the crazy.

They are ALL awful. All incompetent, one dysfunctional alcoholic, one playing army like a 12 y-o, one in charge of our nation’s health who stopped on 684 to cut off a raccoon penis, and so on.

And yet all three of the firings have been of women.

What is the German word for when all three of these women cabinet secretaries absolutely deserved to get fired and yet pretty much all the men cabinet secretaries and FBI director drunks do too. And yet .... 🤔

📌By suing The Atlantic, blackout drunk, Kash Patel, has triggered 3 things:

1) Made good and damn sure millions more read the story.
2) Made good and damn sure discovery in this meritless case is even more damning and saucy.

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading!

Good analysis there by the brilliant Dr. Cottom. Stress test, yes.

Broadcast journalist and author Ray Suarez will deliver commencement address at @salvereginauni.bsky.social graduation May 17

So dumb

The SC voted to keep the damn building. Well it comes with costs. Don’t bitch about them now. 😡

You should absolutely accept a budget with a 13% increase. That tells the city how much they have underfunded the schools. Stop making the city’s job easier for them!

Did she miss the increase of electric rates too? She’s a ding dong.

Who yelled and screamed to keep the building open again?
