I just turned on the ET Golden Globes red carpet and there was a tiny picture box where Leo was being interviewed and the main picture was Hudson Williams just standing there. I know that’s right.

My favorite part of rapture tok are the Christians who think they’re superior bc they KNOW it’s not happening tomorrow bc “no one knows the day or the hour - not even the son of man,” but like they still believe the magic sky flight for goodies is definitely coming one day. #midnightcry

Oh man I can’t believe we haven’t heard anything from icon Dave Chappelle on the unforgivable, worth everything to stand up against it, crime of cancelling comedy just because you don’t agree with it. Maybe he’s napping.

Hey book influencers! It’s possible to just NOT talk about that book. You don’t have to weigh in, promote, highlight, feature, or even rate it on Goodreads. Like you can just read it (if that’s what you actually want to do) and move on. Unless what you’re after is the high of promoting it after all.
