It was always my plan to leave TikTok once the US takes over, but now I'm leaving TWICE.

That was shockingly bad.

Possibly! I think he’s also a “my black wife finally talked some sense into me” kinda guy.

Paul Southworth ☢️ 🐟 @southworth.bsky.social · 1d

He’s BEEN doing it though! He recently did a 180 on how he’s talked about women in the past, maybe he just needs another ten years to reflect 🙄

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

Admitting you were wrong is fun and easy. I’m not a multimillionaire and I do it all the time.

Don’t forget: you can keep the money.

Hey Bill Burr, just admit you were wrong. It’s ok. You can keep the money.

Just say “I was wrong.”

Yeah I guess you're probably not getting your deposit back when you return the rental full of pepper ball holes and tear gas.

Ok, 3 episodes in and I'm bailing on TRUE DETECTIVE S2. I should have closed my laptop the second Vince fucking Vaughn showed up, but I naively persisted. This is what I imagine it's like to watch YELLOWSTONE. Skipping to S4.
