Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

Your shadow-self is out there, somewhere, lurking. It wears your face but it is NOT you; do not become confused. You will need to identify where it hides and hunt it down. Use a sharp knife and carry salt with you at all times. The heart can be eaten, but at a price.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

if they do this to a public person, think about what they do to the ones we don't hear about

Greta Thunberg has been detained in an Israeli cell infested with bedbugs and supplied with insufficient food and water, according to activists:
"They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others."

"Chase Infiniti" seems like a shrewd showbiz parent name until you discover her last name is "Payne." "Chase Infiniti Payne" sounds like a Hellraiser guy slogan

I like a number of songs on the new TS album, but there’s just no getting around the fact that it’s hilarious to fall deeply in love with Travis Kelce. It couldn’t be funnier if you wrote a set of romantic pop-ballads about Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle.
