I feel like Indiana abandoning Trump is a tipping point. And it’s not because they didn’t want a new map. It’s because he shook them down.

Time Magazine steals the concept and populates the ibeam with an Ai generated picture of f’ing Ai bros, none of whom would have the balls to sit 850 feet above ground nor the artistic ability to take such an iconic picture.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

In September, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein met on a rooftop in downtown Washington. Some were meeting each other for the first time. They had gathered to make posters for a rally at the Capitol, but something more meaningful unfolded.

The Steve Bannon photos with Jeffrey Epstein make a lot of sense from their emails. I wrote them up in order, 2017 until the moment he was arrested, and they were connected at the hip.

Liam Neeson doesn't need a documentary paycheck that bad. If you support vaccinations, you don't take jobs narrating anti-vax documentaries. That's like someone claiming they're "not" racist after spewing racist trash at a Klan rally.
