As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Our AI chief executive is going to help us figure out what’s going on here and only give out DoorDash loans to the people who will pay us back

Righteous Gemstones finale, I’m very sorry to say, is not good.

LET’S GO KNICKS

At Celtics-Knicks. Sitting next to a guy with a comical southie accent who is explaining to his 12 year old son that he’s on track to miss the under by 1. If you’re showing your draftkings page to your child I should be able to call CPS.
