They should just keep making sequels with new groups of characters and the only person who shows up in every movie is Xenk Yendar, who is clearly the DM's player character he keeps around in case the party needs help.
If we lived in a just media landscape, this would now be a trilogy.

the conclusion I must draw from this is a number of the decision makers high up at the NY Times have their own Epstein pictures waiting in the wings and so want to act like it's not a big deal
Statement from the NYT, which is useful context, but still feel like you gotta mention it in the column!

This is as expected.

What we're not gonna do is give up on Texas. It is not a red state, it is a vote suppressed and gerrymandered state. Our job now in caring for each other is to find out how we can help get out the vote in Texas. I suggest following @andreagrimes.com

According to this Supreme Court:

❌ Using race conscious admissions in college to give minorities a fair shot

✅ Using race to profile people on the street to detain for immigration sweeps

✅ Using race to disenfranchise minorities in elecciones

The only consistency is white supremacy.

The real reason we have SNAP isn't that the US cares about people, it's that hungry people stage revolutions.

The rich have forgotten that the safety nets are not largess, they're pacification.
Every single one of these rich fucks could have just fucked off to their private lairs and lived the rest of their lives in complete luxury. But instead, they have chosen to tear it all down - not because they weren't making enough coin, but because they want you to suffer.

It's them or us.
