After leaving WV and driving through Ohio, Kentucky, Tenn., Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, this may sound a little dramatic to you, but when I hit the New Mexico state line I breathed a sigh of relief like I had just crossed the Iron Curtain.

alternate lede in a sane universe- "Former Rep. Matt Gaetz paid a teenager to allow him to rape her and then trafficker her, which she did because she was homeless and wanted braces."
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

btw in just the three years I have been doing this drive, I am seeing more and more Indian restaurants popping at gas stations up along I-40 from Arkansas to New Mexico. I had fucking amazing chicken korma and garlic naan. They are in many cases revitalizing abandoned gas stations.

I have been saying the same thing about Trump for over a decade
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

This is the third game I have seen parts of this year and the Steelers are not very good at Sportsball, Chris Collinsworth is irritating as fuck and reminds me of guys on cocaine who never shut up, and it is very, very slow paced.

when I was a kid and we didn't have a lot of money we were in the co-cop. If you are my age you know the thing I am talking about. Very 70's an hippie vibe. But you would buy dehydrated milk, carob, banana chips, and all sorts of shit in bulk.
