I do one thing very well and therefore assume all of my opinions are impeccable, no matter the subject.

The NYT wagon circling for Nuzzi and now, by extension, Carl Bernstein's kid is going to be hilarious.

As you'd expect, the appearance of all those classical musicians in that Rosalia song is making all the classical music consultants have full body and futile orgasms.

I don't think I have that many gay followers so the explosion of 'big cock body positivity' content on the platforms recently may come as a fun Friday surprise.

Fun fact for 0.0001% of this website is that the French version of Bake-Off, Le Meilleur Patissier, does not include any bread or savoury baking like the Anglo versions, because there is no word in French that encompasses both patisserie and baking.

I'd also find it difficult if I'd reached a career apex at the paper of record and then found it wasn't the place I had thought it was.
I don't understand why people have to concoct wild conspiracy theories in order to critique the NYT. I say this as someone who writes for them: there is plenty to critique without making up wild scenarios and insisting they're true!

BLANCHE: Apparently wealthy men wrote to complain about how hard it is to seduce teenage girls. I also had good taste at a tender age.
DOROTHY: Men are lizards.
ROSE: We had a teacher like that in St Olaf. Mister Lindberg. He had to leave after he fell down the same flight of stairs six times.

I will read every single piece about these American families moving to Russia because of gay people. Every. Single. One.
For my first piece back from vacation, I blogged about the people who moved from Texas to Russia to escape gay people and then found out living in Russia kind of sucks:
www.chron.com/culture/arti...
www.chron.com/culture/arti...
They left Texas for Russia to escape 'LGBT indoctrination.' Turns out, it sucks.
Their Texas towns had too much "DEI" and "LGBT indoctrination." So they moved to Russia and became influencers.
