That book’s so much about this moment for me. And such an odd thing to have it foreshadow IRL what was to happen. I hate to be woo woo but I don’t believe in random coincidence. I just don’t.

Extreme feelings to balance. Yesterday I thought a lot about the ending of Cabiria. Life is awful, but beautiful.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

"Melania is Ratner's first film since he was accused by several women of sexual assault in 2017. He has denied the accusations. Amazon released a still photo from the film of Melania (star of Melania and author of Melania) staring out of a car window at a nondescript airport tarmac. Gorg. Like we've never seen her before, apart from the many times we've seen her like that before." Below is a photo of her looking out of a window

THE CHAIR COMPANY: Tim Robinson makes another hilarious, rather horrifying series with his expressive acting rivaling the best work of Jim Carrey. It's a show as astute as it is anarchic, proving to be the chaotic conspiracy story for our time 📺

Example: Trump wants a budget deal? We'd love to, but we can't trust that you'll keep your word with Vought and Miller driving the bus. Fire them.
some of us have grown up together online. As odd as that sounds. Gone thru every stage of life no matter how much or little u share, we see lives happening. Good and bad.
