If you don't cringe with horror when thinking of how you conducted many of your personal interactions from ages 15-25 you probably lack any degree of self-awareness.

Q: There were new Epstein photos released today showing you and Bill Clinton and Steve Bannon. What's your reaction?

At the final smash-cut to black in Inception, the mid-afternoon audience at the theater let out a collective *growl* of frustration.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL CHILDREN ‘UNDERAGE WOMEN’, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU ARE DISCUSSING SEXUAL ABUSE.
Epstein, who sexually abused underage women at his homes and one of his private islands in the Caribbean, also kept images of sex toys, according to the new release.
One of the photographs shows novelty condoms with Trump’s likeness on them. A sign reads, “Trump Condom $4.50.” (6/x)

The mindset of thinking that someone has to check in with you before they express disagreement is certainly a take.
Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬
He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!

Even the people who 'invest' in Crypto think it's a scam.
It's just that they think they're on the right end of it.

I remember when tasked to write a six word horror story one entry read :
"Osama's time machine. President Gore concerned."
"Osama's time machine. President Gore concerned."
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.
