I hate this guy but you can't just make up things he said even if you're pretty sure he says shit like it
I’m listening to @tuck.bsky.social’s podcast Gender Reveal in what I assume is the traditional order: first, the episodes with my friends in them. Next, acquaintances. Then enemies, and after that, ranked by hotness
logging off when a post has 30 likes and logging back on when it has 4000 feels like waking up at the wheel of a speeding car
