My radical view is that the story about the president being implicated in a notorious paedophile ring should be covered as an important story *in its own right*, and then secondarily any political consequences can be covered later

It amazes me that in just a few years, the GOP and lack of education funding has dumbed down America to the point that somthing that thinks glue can be used as a pizza topping is considered smarter than humans.

I used to work in the music industry, so my answer is "pretty much all of them".
I asked this before over at The Old Place and the answers delighted me. So again:
Who is an artist you admire who you suspect would not like you if they met you personally?
I think Peter Dinklage is fantastic. I would absolutely get on his last nerve. He'd be looking for the door while we spoke.

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism.
I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists.
I know where my allegiance lies.

Hey friends, got a question for you.
What do you think are the *most fun* horror movies out there? They don't have to be good. Or heck, even scary. Just looking for fun Haloween movies to watch while waiting for kids to come to the door.
