Hiroshima being woke is not the outcome I expected, and yet here we are.

as metaphors go it’s a bit on the nose, like a cheap novella. not rating these plots or characters, it’s all a bit much. Far fetched.

What a front cover...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I’m sorry but this is fucking hilarious, I’m dead 😂😂

Extortion, pure and simple.

I’m a fan of Blue Monday but today it’s the Bangles ‘just another Manic Monday’ on playlist as best monday song. written by Prince too ofc!

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays. Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.
