I have meandered over here from Elmo's Hellscape.
Sarcasm is my jam.
I like to use the f word a lot.
Uh... Why does this feel like a job interview?
Stop pressuring me.
See out there on the field, kids.

Bari Weiss built her career in part by whining about how the left was supposedly censoring conservatives. “The Free Press” - the unironic title of her publication - ran numerous pieces about a “censorship-industrial complex.”
Now, under her watch, we get to see real censorship - and hypocrisy.
