MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art
He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

I love how they're carrying gifts of money, luck x2 (except with the horseshoe upside-down all the luck is draining out) and...'shrooms? 😵
The 60s concept album about an energy-draining church bazaar really hit different for these swine. Probably why they're carrying all this stuff.

Somewhere in a Roman brickyard, around 1800 years ago, a fresh tile was drying ahead of firing - until a dog trotted straight across it.
Centuries later, the tile has made it into a museum: not because of an emperor, but thanks to one dog who accidentally walked his way into history.🧵1/2

You don’t even have to do the burger part. Just the street corn will measurably improve your life. So let’s start there. Open a can of corn, dump in a skillet with oil, & char

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

I'll never forget being lucky enough to see 'The Muppet Movie' opening night in the theater.
Hearing 'The Rainbow Connection' you just KNEW it was a Paul Williams gem. First sheet music I ever bought. 😁🌈

As to her competence, an appellate court recently upheld an order directing her and Trump to pay nearly $1 million in sanctions for filing a frivolous claim against Hillary and Comey

I sincerely hope Franklin's creators SUE THE LIVING SHIT out of this douchbag (yeah, I'll gladly take that 'Rude' tag in this case).
Not settle for an apology/retraction, but go straight to getting the most vicious lawyer out there and burn him.
