March 8, 1996 Arlo & Janis, part 5 of a week where they're in bed telling each other their fantasies. arloandjanis.com/fantasies1.htm arloandjanis.com/fantasies2.htm arloandjanis.com/fantasies3.htm arloandjanis.com/fantasies4.htm arloandjanis.com/fantasies5.htm arloandjanis.com/fantasies6.htm
Arlo: And Lois Bailey happens by.
Janis: Lois Bailey! I pick Paul Newman and you pick someone down the street?!
Arlo: Well what's the point of a fantasy that could never happen?

Kif from _Futurama_ is wincing and saying, "Oh, geez." He was climbing a ladder behind Zapp Brannigan who is wearing a too-short red velour skant and apparently no underwear.

📰 On March 28th, Jeremy W. Peters was dismissive of #NoKings and BlueSky noticed his tagline hyping the Tea Party. Today the tagline has been edited to spin him as "a Times reporter who covers debates over free expression and how they impact higher education and other vital American institutions."

The first _Times_ article about yesterday's historically-large #NoKings rally -- characterized as having "tens of thousands" of participants -- was written by Jeremy W. Peters, whose tagline boasts that he covered Tea Party protests from years ago, which were much, much smaller and 99% astroturf.
Tagline: "Jeremy Petes has covered influentioal American political movements, including the Tea Party."

One day later, this has been edited on the _Times_ site to say, "Jeremy W. Peters is a Times reporter who covers debates over free expression and how they impact higher education and other vital American institutions."
