Can't believe someone is giving away a copy of "Child's Play."

A bucket of VHS tapes of horror movies with a sign that says, "Please only take one horror VHS per child."

I'm referring to the pics showing trump with girls. Even if they were real, why would anyone think it's okay to post pictures of a girl?

It's sick to use someone else's trauma to get attention. Incidentally, I can't post anything more about the Brockman story. It's worse than I would have guessed.

Every now and then, I remember going to watch Fahrenheit 9/11 at the Rialto in Raleigh and at the end of the screening a guy stood up at the front of the theater and started screaming at everyone while he was either laughed at or fully ignored.

He was a joke.

In 2025, he’d have a major podcast.

IDK, I'm tired of ignoring the AI stuff. The ones with a hint of pedophilia are wrong. No one needs to see that.

You definitely don't have to be perfect. Everyone makes mistakes.

It's as easy as deleting the AI photo. Apologizing is optional.

The AI photos are driving me crazy. There are apparently a lot of people who think it's okay to post pics of children/girls posing with trump.

Grow some brains, people. Some of us don't want to see children being victimized, even if it's AI. Jfc.

Relatedly, I've learned a lot about the situation in Ethiopia from a friend who works on that. Their strongman ruler, PM Ahmed Abiy, is a monster who attacks his own people with drones and jails journalists and opposition leaders

He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019

I mean I'm glad Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize but I am not super excited that the person who did win it has been going "Mr Trump please murder more Venezuelan fishermen with American missiles" since it was announced

Oh! People do crazy things for attention.

Never heard of the guy. Nobody needs to lie about what's actually happening. The truth is enough. Mercy!

Oh, it was probably an honest mistake. I get frustrated with AI fotos; that's all.

We all need to be skeptical about what we post.
