THE WIZARD IS BACK!
You have been cursed with a lot of money! You are going to become not just permanently brain damaged, but SUPER evil, incapable of doing good, if you use the money for anything that isn't ridiculous.
To break the curse, you must spend it on something ridiculous.
What say you?

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful
what would you buy to break the curse?

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time.
When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

Democrats need to call out Trump’s federal invasion of Democratic cities for what it is: an attempt by a corrupt dictator to keep the people from having our sacred right to vote him out of office, or speak out against him.
Trump is trying to end free and fair elections and freedom of speech.

Ask and you shall receive. I was sent a polling/strategy memo that is being circulated in DC. It offers advice to Dems on Trump sending the National Guard to DC. "Distract" is used 10 times. "Stunt" four. I'll try to post it later, but I assume others have it as well.

I’ve decided to opt out of as much political content as possible—not because I don’t care, but because I care A LOT about what’s going to actually help
And at this point? Knowing every little thing is going to be traumatizing & paralyzing

Read books, watch movies, listen to music, go to concerts and plays and lift up those artists who are doing the things that make you happy, because it will help, then, make other people happy too, and fill the internet with things other than just that guy and what he’s doing
