I guess whoever wrote this headline assumes NPR has an infinite amount of Bob Ross paintings to auction off and continue their funding

My dad first signed up for Twitter to follow live sports and he’s a freak about U of I. One day he said to me “Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf,” and I was like dude you only follow Illini sports accounts. And that’s how every reporter feels Charlie Kirk was the most important person in the world.

Holy crap, NYT let Charles Munger Jr. write an op-ed opposing the California redistricting without disclosing that he's FUNDING the opposition to the California redistricting. I have 4 mailers he paid for in my house right now and that's just the beginning.
