I am BEGGING you all to stop sharing that bullshit Compact Mag piece on the white dude who didn’t get hired by Brown because he was too RETVRN about the Roman military.
The writer is a full time ticket scalper who has one beat: white-man grievance. $20 says the whole article is a work of fiction.

Regarding the thing that that person said about beautiful Rob Reiner, I admire those of you who can be livid with rage. The one-two-three punch of the deaths, the knowledge of who did it, and not that person's comment, has just left me phenomenally and deeply sad.
We press on. We can't not.

"Homemade"
"Handmade"

There's a reason those words add value to the luxury goods people like Mark Cuban buy. It means they were made with skill and care and attention to detail.
Why should the rest of us settle for making slop, reading slop, looking at slop?

Disney parks attendance about to fall off a fking cliff. Foreign tourism to the US will be dead soon. But that's ok. It's only a 200 billion dollar/yr industry. No one's gonna notice when that goes away. After all, it's down $30 billion this year and the tourism industry is totally fine now, amirite
NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.
The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.
Below is the full, mind-blowing list.
