I'm assembling a prayer team so his skin will start buring and the earth will open up and swallow him.

Happy 80th Tim 🖤 You still do the only thing that stops you growing old. May we all be lucky enough to have your toothy Dionysian energy.

"I really didn’t like Magyar at all, but I just hated that Vance guy so much more that I couldn’t bring myself to vote for anyone he supported,” commented Viktor Orbán, an unemployed 62-year-old.

Looks like we're back in business, Bluesky.
