Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

When Stede Bonnet catches his wife radiantly bouncing on Evelyn AND Doug, he knows he needs a new home.

He overhears a business bro at Bonnet Financial lament the visionary architect Blackbeard, lately refusing EVERY ask for yet another sleek shiny bachelor pad.

influence on how people end up voting. I really believe politics, media studies, and critical thinking should be taught in schools.

Until there's a better understanding of our political system, as well as how influence is bought and/or exerted nothing will dramatically change.

The polls are very biased based on who owns the polling companies and who is paying for the poll to be carried out.

However, people here (like many the world over) believe that everything the BBC, Sky News, print media etc put out is 100% factual and non-biased and it's that that has a big

Aw nice one. I don't blame you not wanting to resell it, it's such a pretty piece.

Laura @lauranway87.bsky.social · 10h

I totally get it. At my parents house I've got a collection of vintage compact mirrors, a few evening bags, and jewellery. Part of me grew up in the wrong time period I think. And I've already put dibs on inheriting a gorgeous peach, sage and gold tea set that belonged to my mum's grandmother.

More proof the Kardashians add nothing of true value to the world at all and should be best ignored at all times.

My mind is truly blown that this is even a product! And there's a waiting list! Fuck me but human intelligence is evolving backwards! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
