( already sorry for posting this.
It was horrific that someone was destroyed for a time as a result of this. I get that. But it was also a hugely formative political moment for those of us who remember the time. We get to joke because otherwise we’d go bonkers)
I mean it was the first one ever there, soooo…
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans claimed to believe that the White House was such sacred space that getting a blow job in the Oval Office was grounds to remove a president from office.
Weird but genuine thought - I wish we had more people in charge who played with Lego as a kid.
Coz Lego is just one block on the next. To create something. Anything! And sometimes it falls apart, but you just keep putting one block on another.
I want Lego leaders.

Or time to put the phone down
Well you are.
Couldn’t tell you how many down days where your posts have made me laugh or groan theatrically, just when I needed to!
Oh no, just spotted. Sending best vibes on your direction!
Those are tough days. But we don’t see you as you see you sometimes, if you know what I mean. To us, you’re a warm hug on a cold day.

Three post thread, nailing it.
LLMs were trained on (stolen) fiction and the unfiltered contents of the internet. Of course they make thing up. They were trained on made-up stuff.
What did the highlands do to deserve this?!?
Put him in the highest tower, guarded by a dragon.
King Charles may be planning to send Prince Andrew to a castle in the Scottish Highlands, according to reports 👀
I explained to a friend just how much unreleased stuff there was and that I’d be aiming to complete my set!
A MINT could be made.

She’s just so much better at rollouts than most, but she really doesn’t milk us the way the bitter speculate.

Omg that’s impossible actually bc of course Rumors is a perfect album 🫡 buuuuut I think I would say The Chain!! Love me some angry Stevie Knicks lol
She’s an original! Feel in love with her as a kid listening to crystal and rumours remains my go to album!

Silver springs is my favourite of her rage songs. Watching them perform it on the video from 1997(?) was like watching time disappear into pure emotion!

Me an international Art Police officer grabbing a thief surrounded by his spoils. "I have you at last! Jail for you! For ten thousand years!"

Art Thief "But I'm using it to train my AI."

Me. "Me, oh, sorry, be about your business. I'll close the door on my way out."

He’s donning a queen’s crown. Is that intentional?
Sweet merciful Zeus. The hubris.

Was raised to think charity/good works begin at home.

But given the British partitioned Palestine, seems particularly tin eared.
