Holy hell, what an obituary

You’re still trying to find the millennial Tom Hanks. I told you we can’t do it, and we can’t do it. Now, what we might be able to do it is recreate him. Recreate him but make him British.

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???

They’re burying the weirdest part of this story, which is that this congressman’s twin brother keeps trying and failing to replace him in various jobs and is now hoping to replace him in this one

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.
