Phew! I know I breathed a huge sigh of relief knowing Katy only paid $13.2 million for a house.
Katy Perry is due to recoup $1.8 million off the price of the $15 million Montecito mansion that plunged her into a headline-grabbing real estate war with 86-year-old Texas millionaire Carl Westcott, who also happens to be the father-in-law of Real Housewives of Dallas cast member Kameron Westcott.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Didn’t watch the #F1 #LasVegasGP live but all through the replay, I was thinking:

“Those McLarens really seem to be throwing up way too many sparks on the long straight.”

Seems they were…

After three years of the #LasVegasGP, the novelty of sequined outfits on #F1 broadcasts definitely wore off two broadcasts ago.

Whether it’s RFK Jr. challenging “scientific orthodoxy,” or his critics standing behind the evidence-based consensus on routine immunization, both have a vaccine problem.
