Ok. Well he's being serious in that he believes rents are too high and landlords are bad. He's not being serious linking Antifa to landlords, he's just trolling MAGA types

This is like Big Brother when someone gets evicted, but they're good for ratings so they go right back in again.

I write with my left, do single-handed sports (tennis, squash, netball) with my left, 2 handed sports (golf, cricket) leading with my right. Guitar left-handed, knit left-handed. Stir, whisk, beat, chop, on both sides. Clean teeth on either side.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Yes! I've been mentioned on a podcast, was in the Acknowledgments of a romance novel, and my name cane up in a book about social media. Had conversations in DMs with well-known people in the arts, fashion, tv and writing, which would NEVER have happened without it. Never earned a penny though.
