National Review Is Now Sponsored by... FaceBook?

Jim Geraghty and National Review were asked to respond to this or clarify. They haven't done so yet.

National Review has been central to my conservative upbringing and maturation, but this is just beyond befuddling.

And conservatives sit around wondering why we were late to the game on big tech.
— Bradley Devlin (@bradleydevlin) February 26, 2021

Is it really "befuddling," though, brah?

I mean... do these guys ever get sick of being the perpetual simp?

Please, @NRO (and @jimgeraghty) if this isn’t the case, I’d love to be proven wrong about this.
— Bradley Devlin (@bradleydevlin) February 26, 2021

Well as you chase off conservative readers, you're going to need to find... alternative sources of funding, eh? Just as The Dispatch and Bulwark have already done.

Well this is interesting. The Dispatch also is paid by Facebook to be a “fact checker.” https://t.co/NObahml27j
— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) February 26, 2021

Keep in mind the "fact checks" FaceBook pays for: To claim that pro-life groups are lying when they say Joe Biden supports abortion until the moment of crowning (he does, but it was inconvenient to say so before the election), and to claim that accurately quoting George Soros about his own admitted participation in Nazi wealth-seizure operations is "misinformation."

But he who pays the piper calls the tune, eh?

And, having driven away all their previous payers by waging war on real conservatives for five fucking years straight, they now turn to left-wing tune-callers, and the music changes.

While they're all claiming there's been absolutely no change in the musical direction at all.

171 Knowing what we now know about Trump, I think it would have been best had he run as a Democrat and not thrown his lot in with the CoC Republicans. He would have beaten Jeb easily with the support of old school Democrats and the Bernie Bros and cross-over Republican conservatives on economic nationalism, but would have still had to reach across the aisle with a Republican Congress to get at least what he got as a Republican, if not more.

In other words, a better Bill Clinton.

The one thing I have going for me is kids have an innate sense of "that's nasty, gross". And even little ones want the respect they can get, don't like to be embarrassed, and understand at least basic level dignity. I will leverage that to discuss how some people do inappropriate things out in the open that are gross and they lose their dignity.

Kids have the curiosity about why this crap is being put in their face but none of the biological changes that would even give them a hint about it. And parents are having to steer them around it. Not tv shows I can control but these massive billboards with ads for dildos and stuff other kids at school talk about, etc.. I'm having to explain more and more.

I do note that the problem really boils down to proofreading before you hit send. No matter how simple what you said was.
And it's too handy to turn off. That's the part I never got. I would never try to do anything on a touch phone without autocorrect and the intuitive changes it makes.

Your question is valid, but not related to the WSSC blowing out the entire law of using illegal drugs.
Users are either weak minded, living in abject poverty and want to mentally escape, or not recovering from pain meds from injuries.
Dealers are different, making money off of these people, and could not care less about them.
Drug sentences are often used to keep really bad people in prison, and are easier to prove than other more serious crimes that are also often more difficult to prove.

The WSSC just let all of them out on the streets.

In response, Kokkinos whipped up a "Christmas album" in 24h solely comprised of repurposed Christmas songs calling Maddox a cuck.

Scorsese had two projects that he tried to make for decades. One was the extravagant and messy Gangs of New York. The other was the austere and surprisingly focused Silence.

Then there are the ones that never got made like Kubrick's Napoleon.

NRO cucked out and separated their suit from Steyn even tho he wrote that in NRO. So Steyn told NRO to take a hike and hasn't been back.
The suit still stumbles on since in civil court you can get a continuance/delay anytime you feel the need and Mann has no interest in seeing the end as he knows that actual science is against him.
