I bet trump is furious about his fyre festival ass parade

RFK told us that people should not be taking medical advice from him, yet he is doing everything he can to take away people’s access to vaccines.

Hysterical that the character that terrified me in my childhood in Rosemary’s Baby is posting Wordle now. What a world.

Hi @marthafocker.bsky.social‬ I'm a reporter working on a story and would love to chat with you when you have a few minutes. Thanks so much!

I just find it funny that we're looking at Nicole Kidman and Demi Moore and being like, "Is Hollywood ready for older female characters?" Nicole's face hasn't moved in a decade! Demi made a film about Hollywood beauty standards, but SHE STILL MEETS THEM. We are only ready for botoxed to hell women.

Atlanta?
