For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

Truth
Pet loss is real grief. Period. When an animal dies, you’re losing a friend, a routine, a source of safety and unconditional love at the same time. Your body doesn’t rank losses by species. If you’re wrecked, that reaction makes sense. #TruthBombTuesday #petloss

Someone needs to study this behavioural trait
He’s now calling someone else to say “last time we caught up and I was very drunk and in some ways I’d like to apologise for my behaviour, but in many ways I would not”

My lot in life is to be harassed by men speaking loudly on telephones in public spaces. He just said to the person on the other end “the amount of business I do drunk is amazing” he is brokering a deal with sports brands… he is English. I want to punch him

Who here has provided someone a considered and well researched opinion on something in their field only for a lay person to input to chatGPT and show the results and say “yeh seems you were right”?
