Screenshot of a post from@carmudgeon.com.B sky.social - List is fucked. Taco Bell should absolutely be with the neocons and Arby’s should be with the liberals.

It's wrapped itself around a large red serif T shape, that for some reason has a blue line T centred within it.

A screenshot of the quoted article. A highlighted section reads: “I think of it as the far center: a loose coalition of disillusioned Democrats, principled humanists, staid centrists, anti-woke journalists, civil libertarians, wronged entertainers, skeptical academics, and toothless novelists, all brought together by their shared antipathy to what they regard as the illiberal left. The far center is for free speech and bourgeois institutions; it is against cancel culture, student protests, and radicalism of any kind. Yet it rejects the idea of a shared ideology or politics. Instead, its members see themselves as independently sane individuals — concerned citizens who wish only to defend civil society from the unbearable encroachments of politics.”

He was a meanie!” - Two Stars Meanwhile, Hannia Ramirez also said a week ago, “Veo muchos bloqueos del cauce del rio en esas zonas... no lo sé.

Perhaps poorly planned technically, I think that place is in a risk zone.” - One Star. (Per Google translate)

In 1965 he was invited to appear on the CBS television program I've Got a Secret,[13] where he performed a piano piece composed by a computer he had built.[14] Later in the year, he won first prize in the International Science Fair for the invention
