People have stated following me. This is unsettling. You people need help. But! While I would hope they would browse my page before following to be safe, it's not a reliable hope. So! Here's a start:

I mean, at some point, right? Eventually someone at a studio is going to timidly raise their hand and suggest NOT signing Jared "Box-office Poison" Leto, won't they? It's gotta occur to someone sooner or later.

I don't think that, if I lost my memory and the only hope of regaining it was to find my father and get answers, that I would invoke my dad in a lifelong futile search than Meghan does while. Also, look up the "Relative Privation Fallacy". Only fucking losers use it.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Update on the greatest coverup in the history of coverups:

SCOTUS would not consider Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal.

Now it’s up to Jeffrey Epstein’s BFF to pardon her.

He’s currently pretending this isn’t the only thing he thinks about.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 8d

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.
