Popularism is either the most obvious or the most unhinged political idea ever, no in-between

"It is not because I love country less, but Humanity more, that I plead the cause of a higher and truer patriotism. Remember that you are men, by a more sacred bond than you are citizens; that you are children of a common Father more than you are Americans."

I made a random meme

When I saw Mikey Madison in Scream, I told myself "this girl has some juice, I hope she gets some serious role offers and doesn't get pigeonholed" and I'm glad it happened so soon

He's also accused of raping a man

Bluesky is not blocked in Iran...... yet

We asked a real psychologist for rare and invaluable insights

"Well, you see, Dr. Hannibal Lecter eats his patients, that would violate the ethics code"

Truly only an expert could illuminate this
