Dude I did that magnet thing too! They ended up breaking apart in my fingers and it turned into a huge medical risk. Strongly recommend against. But it was fun while it lasted!

Without looking, who do you think this post is about?

London Overground under the underground

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

MBA graduates are the Commissars of Capitalism.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Like every mf that’s been forced into our public consciousness via him since 2016 has been wack as hell. No swag, unfunny, zero bitches, clearly hated by everyone they’ve ever met, no homies, weird smile, probably fuckin stink and go to hotel breakfasts barefoot and drink milk. You know they type
