stay woke, read the British financial newspaper owned by a Japanese stock market index and media conglomerate
Even 5 years ago if you had told me CBS News would go this way whereas the WSJ wouldn’t it would have surprised me — ultimately I think purveyors of business news are the only ones insulated from these dynamics because when rich people are paying you for market-moving news you can’t mess around.

I think it’s pretty bad that the president and White House staff write on the level of a sixth grader

My core complaint is that the MSNBC guy bought them and he’s just a dork so now The Onion makes cringe jokes for dorks
I have no problem with the Onion having hyperprogressive politics, all things considered there are lots of worse kinds of politics for comedy outlets to have
but you gotta be fuckin funny I am sick of the clapter stuff

I am willing to bet the food at House of Biryanis and Bagel World is better than anything you can find in at least 10 states
This is just a few minutes from my old Congressional office. Local high school has a 97% graduation rate, Netflix is opening a $1B movie studio down the road, and Bruce Springsteen was born and raised around the corner (and still lives there). So yeah…tell me more.
