Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.

Cecilia GimĂ©nez, famed for âMonkey Christâ mural mishap, dies at 94
Spanish womanâs attempted restoration of church artwork was widely mocked but became lucrative tourist attraction Cecilia GimĂ©nez, the woman who achieved unwanted international fame for her botched âMonkey Christâ restoration of a 19th-century mural in Borja, north-east Spain, has died aged 94. In 2012, GimĂ©nez, an amateur artist, decided to restore Ecce Homo, a mural by a local artist, ElĂas GarcĂa MartĂnez, that hung in the Santuario de Misericordia church in Borja.

Didn't Chomsky justify his relationship with Epstein at some point by saying it let him meet the world's top minds? And all this time he meant Steve fucking Bannon???

I used to think Tom Jones was terrible but since getting a cat "what's new pussycat?" is the question I care about most in life. I simply must know what he's up to and how he's feeling at all times, so I think Tom Jones was on to something profound.

Went to see a play with nudity yesterday and they had the entire audience lock up their phones in those Yondr magnetic pouches that schools are using now. It worked really well, and now I'm wondering how long before movie theaters start doing this.
