Looking at Andor episode recaps to see which one inspired this tweet

Saw a video called "How The World's Strongest Anchor Chains Are Made" but I can't get that riled up before bed. I'll watch it before my next workout.

Kids today are too fucked up, not like in my day where we learned about life and death and the birds and the bees the normal way, by being shown rotten dot com by our friends brother when we were 11 years old

MAKE MARA JADE CANON AGAIN

Listen, things are bad out there. But 3 Hamm's tall boys will fix it. That's the Hamm's Guarantee.

I hate being called out on social media

I was hanging out with very offline friends all weekend and they were still well informed and pissed off about the right things without staring into the torment matrix for 12 hours a day. I have learned nothing from this however

I think I’m missing something when people say “this person wasn’t a RW actor, but a person with incoherent and violent ideas”. Like, those aren’t mutually exclusive categories, lol

My poltergeist is getting old. These days he struggles even to nudge a simple tray off the edge of a table. I miss the clatter and clangs, the levitations, the explosions of disembodied violence and mischief. I think it's time to have him exorcised..
