Folds on the Kennedy Center 3 weeks ago: I was sick to my stomach when I quit because I knew they were going to run it into the ground. No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts administration, but that was never the point. The point was to take that, run over it, and move on.

And while I'm mostly watching what others find in the Epstein files second hand, I keep thinking, are you fucking HIGH? Everything I'm seeing is precisely what we expected.

A rare atmospheric phenomenon known as a paraselene was observed overnight over Moscow and nearby regions, causing the illusion of multiple moons appearing in the sky. The effect occurs when light from the real Moon is refracted by flat ice crystals high in the atmosphere.
