Celebrity Traitors proving once again how easy it is for powerful white men to hide in plain sight.
At this stage Jonathan could be wearing an “I am a Traitor’ t-shirt, walk around whistling Murder on the Dancefloor and vote for himself at the roundtable and still no one would suspect a thing

According to ancient myth, every time you sneeze it’s a demon leaving your body.
Which is why people who sneeze two, or three, or four times in a row are actually more evil than the rest of us.
There’s more demonic energy inside of them to expunge

A few years ago on April fools day all these brands were out there going “woo hoo here’s a silly prank let’s have some fun!” and everyone on the internet was like “🤮🤮🤮 🤮ugh how cringe” and now hardly anyone does anything.
Be creative. Be cringe. DO PRANKS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

I know so many friends who use ChatGPT as a therapist or at the very least a shoulder to cry on.
People are so lacking in real community these days and so desperate to never be seen as a burden to others that they turn to AI in times of need instead
