What would be funny is if NYT editors deleted every banal, false, irrelevant or stupid sentence. But then, there'd be nothing left but: Louise Perry is a journalist based in Britain. She is the author of “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution” and the host of the podcast “Maiden Mother Matriarch.”

Like it or not, many questions have been raised about Biden's state and the American people are looking for answers. If I were the Democrats, I'd consider putting together a bipartisan commission to investigate whether Biden was replaced by a clone or robot. We need everything out in the open.

Absolutely disgusting that Jonathan Joss's death was initially reported as an "escalated argument" and not the extremely cut-and-dry hate crime that it actually was.

Musk knowingly lies all the time, in very obvious, easily confirmable ways, yet when he announces something like "stepping away from politics" the media still writes up whatever he says as if its the truth. Why?

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Today I saw the executive director of the American Enterprise Institute attempt to address a conference room full of leaders of state human services agencies and I have never seen a speaker more reviled. Big swaths of the audience (myself included) simply walked out because he was such an asshole.

A Nazi salute isn't created by how you hold your hand at the end, it is created by how you get there, with a vigorous thrust, not a gentle wave. This is why Musk is using photos instead of videos to obfuscate.

Ukraine's wildly successful drone attack on Russia was an intricate plan that probably took a year to arrange. That means when Trump berated Zelensky four months ago for not having the cards, Zelensky knew he had the cards. But, unlike Trump, he's smart enough to know when to keep quiet.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

The BYD Seagull is an $8,000 EV, and is China's best-selling car. And after driving one in China, I understand just why it freaks automakers (and the US government) out, because it proves just how accessible China's EV market is for the average person. insideevs.com/features/761...

Indiana's governor fired all the elected members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees. Given a recent policy change, he'll be able to fill those seats with appointees. Which means he'll basically have unilateral control over IU decisions, including who gets hired, tenured, and fired.
