Plato didn’t say that shit get the fuck out of here

Famously known for his work as a motivational speaker.

I had entirely forgotten that.

I think it's the way he seems to be looking at the person he wants a divorce from.

Shoutout to one of my fave tweets ever of all time

Remembering those who died, on this, the tenth anniversary of the devastating fire in a temporary Traveller halting site in Carrickmines. Sending love and support to their family and friends.

I get that it's more serious, but being handed tickets for injuring pedestrians with a car seems like a little bit less than you'd hope for.
