“If it’s good, to my liking, if it satisfies my fetishized, weaponized addictions, I siphon megawatts of electricity out the same grid that powers hospitals and schools and grocery stores come up with dumb ways to reward it and then let it drink as much of the Ohio River as it can stomach.”

Was curious about JFK’s health so I asked google. TIL he was pregnant in 1960 but only put on 15-20lbs

Sydney Chandler’s delts are so popped because she’s been carrying the series on her shoulders most of the way IMO

Same bird in the laundry basket, which it fills entirely. The researcher is holding its beak so it doesn't peck them

In case we're keeping track, Trump appears to get some kind of IV medicine in each hand toward the end of the month (remember that he got a round in August right before Labor Day). Then he vanishes for a few days, maybe dealing with side effects.
