It sounds like it was the dad’s decision or at least he was in on it. It’s hard to believe so many people were in on it, including siblings. That’s his whole life in captivity and there were enough people involved that someone should have intervened.

Why are people so cruel? This is awful!

Big bucks!

I had a Con Air movie night at grad school where I invited all the gals to come over my place watch it and eat pizza. I love that movie!

Costco scares me. I go sometimes but someone else needs to drive me there.

I don’t make close to that much as an associate professor in California. That math ain’t mathing.

This is too real.

I am still in disbelief that this joker was elected AGAIN.

Reputation by Sarah Vaughan adds a very good and believable social media angle to the plot.

I still enjoy the reading I do, thankfully it’s all very interesting! Yes, it’s really bad when we combine no reading with all the social media posts people consume, especially YouTube and TikTok influencers selling misinformation. It’s how we get really dumb things happening in our country.

I’m embarrassed to say that I was persuaded by some of the negative publicity on her. That said, I absolutely believe her. And this is a great example of how social media gets weaponized.

Geez, so unnecessary

If I go to the store for something and it’s locked up, I leave and go elsewhere or order it online. It’s ridiculous to lock it up.
