Oh shit. I also forgot it was also true for the dormitory I worked at at night. 3 am is truly the ghostly hour.

T Guzman @tguzman.bsky.social · 17h

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."
