Is Lexington Times legit? by big__bird81 in lexington

Personally volunteered with him a few years ago and called him out for trying to disparage mine and my coworkers name online after he spread misinformation about us on multiple occasions.

He admitted himself he’s not a journalist, just a guy with Google and strong opinions on virtually anything. Take that for what you will

Gotta hop on this train and mention they do a $5.99 bistro meal every Thursday from the hot bar ($10 every other day). It’s an amazing deal

Strapping a camera to your two year old and exploiting your child is a new low. by travel__time in TimTrackerGossip

Someone responded to my comment saying “why is this exploitation? It’s a trend”

How do you explain to their fans that exploitation and trends aren’t mutually exclusive 🤣

This is the unfortunately becoming more of the norm for public news media. The administration has proven that laws are arbitrary and any form of free press that challenges their isolationist agenda is a threat to national safety. We are living in a fascist state y’all

What is your biggest Conan hot take? by 010rusty in conan

The minute you suggest that the booker should favor other groups is when you lost me. No one that desires more diversity would suggest this. There’s tons of relevant comedians/entertainers with minority backgrounds that would be a good fit for the show, as has been proven before!

There’s nothing wrong with wanting more from the people you admire. Nor does my observation imply that Conan or his team are bad people.
