A) if so, it would be the first laugh he’s gotten in years B) how the hell is whatever this link leads to an “18 minute read”!?!
wait, are we still using "hiking the Appalachian trail" as a euphemism for sneaking off to have sex your Argentinian mistress?
I could’ve sworn “John Rambo” was the title of the 2008 movie… and I was right, it was! And it was wasn’t! It’s Schrodinger’s Stallone Title!
And, uh, what happens if all seven die after he’s convicted but before he’s officially removed from the line of succession? Do they have to release him from jail to be king? Asking for a screenwriter

He's not in Project Hail Mary, but the Project Hail Mary Lego set should also include Benny from the Lego Movie because, well, you know...
I'm genuinely curious about this -- does anyone have any data that links the price of crypto to headline-making bitcoin ransoms? Like, does reading about how kidnappers and hospital hackers deal exclusively in BTC make crypto bros want to buy more? or sell more? or take a shower at least?

You’re telling me that a real estate reporter with “written assistance” from AI somehow got the Taylor Swift merch story wrong!?!
this explains why whenever you ask a hippo about the mammoth, they go “fuck that guy”
I assume we already used enhanced interrogation tactics on these two to find out what they know and when did they know it
