Matthew McConaughey smoking way too many cigarettes

Paul Southworth ☢️ 🐟 @southworth.bsky.social · 19h

Excited to announce that I am now watching TRUE DETECTIVE S1 for the first time.

Please no spoilers, I want to see for myself if Matthew McConaughey's head disappears up his ass while sniffing his own farts.

I saw a bunch of high school senior track athletes celebrate their last home race by shotgunning some Arizona iced teas last night, should I check if they're available to run CBS news?

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”

No, I think you're mistaken, there is no first season of TNG. Weird, but true!

Is Masks worse than the racist one from the first season? I'm really not sure...

why are these people trying to sell me the worst TNG episode

I don't want that

Pretty sure the whole premise of that show, if I remember correctly, was "everybody agrees this guy sucks."
