  • Another New York Times writer jumps ship

    Another New York Times writer jumps ship

    Nellie Bowles left the New York Times and joined Bari Weiss’ Common Sense Substack. Legacy media is no longer slowly dying. It has jumped off a cliff and is half-way down to the rocks below. Bowles’ first post on Common Sense is a news roundup that she plans on doing weekly. It’s a good read…

    Are experimental COVID-19 pills better than shots?

    This seems like a psychological game. People that are “vaccine hesitant” might find a pill easier to swallow than an injection because an injection just feels more invasive doesn’t it?

    China traps almost 34,000 people inside Shanghai Disneyland after one visitor tested positive for COVID-19

    Gotta love the communists… and the government of New Zealand (New Zealand has nothing to do with this story. I just like comparing them to China and their zero COVID policies). A single woman failed her COVID-19 test and the Chinese government shut down the park and wouldn’t let almost 34,000 people leave the park…
