I will never forgive my optometrist for pointing out to me that I need reading glasses now. I was FINE BEFORE I KNEW THAT.

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

I would watch an entire ass mini series about this. I need every single detail of this saga dramatically recreated, please.

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job.

Tooze saying that he's never listened to Joe Rogan but he's sure Rogan does hours of reading to prepare for his interviews lol
