Started watching Jurassic World: Dominion last night, but was real bad, so I started watching the original Jurassic Park, but JW Dominion was so bad it made me think maybe Jurassic Park is not actually that good? Was also a little high, so gonna blame that....

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?
@reelbigfishband.bsky.social playing "The Kids Don't Like It" for my four year old, and he wanted you to know that he likes it, and he's a kid, so some kids do like it
