RIP #GrahamGreene, one of my favorite actors. Going to rewatch Clearcut again soon, for one of the most enjoyably berserk performances ever committed to the big screen.

Reminds me of that time Squarky Froom tried to shoe Gerold Yard.
I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.

I just met with legal counsel for my constituent, Dr. Badar Khan Suri.

It used to be flavored like whiskey and potatoes before we got in trouble after someone bootlegged it at our U.S franchise location.
It caused a schoolbus full of children to get into a drunken riot and brutally stab Andy Jones, a 42 year old man who wore a grimace suit, to death for the promotion.
