Not entirely true, they can’t get enough of art that is exactly like the things they already like. A boring landscape that could have been painted a century earlier? They love that shit.
But if you dare try to get creative (with message or medium) they will demand your head.

Oh, boy–they sure picked the wrong guy to lynch that time!
And that thought had a brother: “There are right people to lynch.” Who? People not well connected. So it goes.
I seem to recall seeing an infographic (uncertain of its provenance) indicating that one juror listed the NY Post as a frequent news source. That guy’s presence on the jury certainly had me concerned.
A farcical accident
Instead, because it was established in the middle of our aughts war crime spree, we passed the Invade the Hague if they Arrest any of Our War Criminals Act.

They invented FSD in the sixties and it makes a handy little loop through downtown Detroit.
Ford was, based on the behavior of the Reagan, W Bush, and Trump administrations, entirely wrong to pardon Nixon. There is no reason to repeat his mistake.
Now that it’s considered it a slur, we can expect huge increase in its use on the platform, right?
You’re definitely paying for legality and safety, but when you have to search through five different streaming apps to find that the movie you’re looking for can only be rented via yet another service, the convenience becomes debatable.
In case anybody doesn’t already know this, the Chamber of Commerce is a non-governmental organization of private (and also publicly traded) business owners that just sounds like it’s part of the government.
Not sure where you’re getting that. WV is one of the states with the strictest rules for parents to enroll their kids in school without their immunizations (and a recent attempt to loosen those rules was vetoed).

One of them, Leland Stanford (of Stanford University), actually did become governor and eventually senator.
Another, Charles Crocker, invented Californian NIMBYism with his infamous spite fence.
That’s good advice. Shame he and his colleagues didn’t follow it in 303 Creative
Because maintaining a train length vacuum is really difficult and doesn’t really provide that big of a benefit.
Atmospheric rail has been attempted with varying degrees of success (but never to a ‘replaces traditional rail’ degree) for 200 years.
This is the only way they’ll play with a cat tree.
