They should make a Lego version of Admiral Kuznetsov, complete with a little Putin minifig.

The powers-that-be at NYT seem to be very selective about which standards they apply and which ones they don’t. Also, about who they apply those standards to. bsky.app/profile/donm...

RFK TO RECOMMEND "ANTING" TO TREAT MOST DISEASES Calls laying on an anthill, "a purging cleanse." "It will get rid of a lot of the parasites you can pick up from following my other recommendations."

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office And he's going to keep using it after he leaves! Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal
