Another example of the top-tier journalism they’re doing over there. I suppose that general’s blackness was frustrating

Baby, why are you making us do this to you?

I was coming here to share the same screenshot. It’s bad enough to blame him for how he’s being abandoned, but what could possibly hurt his country more than placating this monster who is allied with Ukraine’s enemy?

A good Sunday

It was bad enough when Elon made Twitter unusable, but now he’s doing the same thing to America.

Goodbye, Pamela Paul The contrarian columnist showed us the intolerable side of liberalism.

Phenomenal heels!

As seen in his slim, single volume, “À la recherche de maintenant”

We’re being flooded by dangerous stupidity and it will continue for the foreseeable future, but it’s deeply disturbing that this nomination isn’t a top story. This guy has literally killed people through his actions and is about to be handed the ability to do so on a nation-wide/global scale

Not that you’re lining up for another Calhoun journey, but if you’re interested in Frank O’Hara and the New York art/poetry scene of his era, Also a Poet is really great stuff.

Thanks for being real in your reviews!

I have no problem with one-star reviews if they make as clear a case as this one does. That said, it’s a shame to hear it’s great as I really loved her Also A Poet book

A humbling 52. I don’t know if I would have made it into the 50s if I had to also identify a piece of music as well
