every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

chuck schumer has been barred from formally observing this year's lexus december to remember sales event. they can't stop him from standing outside, but he will not be allowed into the showroom and he cannot directly behold the obelisk or participate in the thousand screams

it's gonna take a lot of us striking at once. that takes coordination and extensive planning so we can survive for as long as it takes. i've got my eye on may 2028 when all the union contracts come up for renewal, and there is much to be done between now and then (talk to your neighbors for details)
