Inside us there are two Ringos trying to write a song. One about an octopus. The other about a garden. Make them kiss.

I don’t want him to die; I want him shrunk to the size of a ladybug then tossed into a rural Dollar General where he’ll go eternally unnoticed by his own base whose company he loathes but cannot avoid, whose attention and adoration he craves but cannot capture. I want him forever powerless and alone
Elon Musk, famously good at estimating things such as how long it will take to get to put a human on Mars or how many COVID cases there will be in April 2020, has a guess about government fraud.
Wow, seems terrible. If only they put a Smart Businessman in with near-total, unconstitutional remit over federal spending, I bet he could find out and then stomp it all out easily!

Normalize having patience w/ people in crowded places. Not everyone in your way is a serial space-clogger and might’ve had a temporary lapse of awareness. Having to say “please excuse me” won’t lead to some great societal unraveling. We’ve all been the person in the way at some point.

its honestly a pretty big responsibility being the last person on the planet with any understanding of spatial awareness when out in public among a large group

This looped 5 times before I realized Daft Punk wasn’t there to drop the beat.
This is an artificial mouth created by Japanese researchers. It uses artificial vocal cords, a trachea system, and a flexible silicone mouth that moves and shapes sound in real time.
It sounds so human-like!

have you considered searching pubmed for the many, many papers published about this? alternatively, you can pay me $100,000 to do it this one time so i can pay my medical bills

If you’re just a regular white dude, you shouldn’t have a name trying to convince everyone you aren’t. ‘Sting’ is about as exotic as you’re allow get and even then it’s only because he’s so sexy it would be weird to call him Gordon.
It's not that I don't think a celebrity should be called "Mr. Beast" it's just that I think he should have to be a professional wrestler or circus performer as is the natural way of things.

It wouldn’t shock me if the average person cared more about the economy than child sex trafficking, but I’m not convinced the average person is willing to overlook child sex trafficking if they can’t afford a damn skirt steak much less health insurance.
Sure, the Epstein files only matter on social media, and most people don't use social media. Keep trying to reassure yourself, guys. Let's check back in on this in a month.

Shamp’s Senate Bill 1070 would direct the #Arizona Dept of Health Services to conduct or support research to “advance the understanding of Trump Derangement Syndrome, including its origins, manifestations and long-term effects on individuals, communities and public discourse.”

Gotta admit It’ll be fun seeing the Trump-loving pedo crusaders squirm when the thing they always refuted but knew in their gut all along becomes undeniable. Your unimpeachable hero committed your sinister crime pet cause? Oh, the internal toil when you’ve foolishly attached your identity to both! 🤌
(Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department released a new trove of documents on Tuesday from its investigation into .. Jeffrey Epstein, including an email from a prosecutor indicating President Trump had traveled aboard his private jet "many more times than previously has been reported".

He wouldn’t be referring to President “grab them by the pussy”, would he?
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Bari Weiss sounds like the name of a well-respected 60’s jazz musician who’s primarily known for writing the schlocky theme song to a show called Winky’s Groovariety Hour

I prefer to believe Weiss (like much of the Trump pt. 2 rat nest) is simply the smartest person they could expect loyalty. I think most intelligent people, even the conservative ones, have no interest in debasing themselves and ruining their reputation by aligning with this administration.
i think this is exactly right. she was hired to be a regime censor but that requires a bit of real skill and finesse to pull of successfully and she has neither.
Weiss is simply not talented enough to pull this off.

Looks like they're right.

They kept the 2nd “the” in front of John F Kennedy because they know that Trump’s name is coming down the minute he’s out of office.

I’m suing Trump for impeding human progress and being a used diaper of a human. I am seeking the entire galaxy in damages.

It’s been an ongoing debate if Trump’s defining quality is his malevolence or his stupidity.
Turns out both knobs are cranked to 11.

Eventually we learn that we’re all on the same team. The trick is to remind ourselves of this before tragedy or oppression does the reminding for us.
I know there are plenty of suburb people who are good at community care, but for the people it doesn't come naturally to, it really allows for the muscle of community to completely atrophy. It's a bummer to hear him talk about how he relates to his surroundings sometimes :/
