Iranian media say a popular rapper has been sentenced to death on charges linked to the mass protests of the last two years. Toomaj Salehi publicly backed the demonstrations triggered by the death of Jina Mahsa Amini who died in the custody of Iran's so-called morality police.
Americans living through the most free, the most opulent, the most libertine, the most peaceful, the most permissive, the most calm-before-the-storm, last-days-of-an-Empire era since 1776: life is hell, everything is burning, and I can't even get an iced moka piss-infused caramel-flavoured latte because some countries I can't point out on a map have wars!
🚨 911 What's your emergency please??? ENTRAPMENT!!
Can somebody please go and pluck Tony out of this horror show? I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the poor bugger.
I see a victim. Plain and simple. I quit getting frustrated about Tony' involvement some time ago, and now I see him as a prisoner, entagled in Sam and Cait's peturbing life. He looks sullen, defeated, exhausted, resigned, forlorn, and completely void of life. His skin ashen, and his hair tufty and sparse. If I were a betting woman, I'd say he is at his wits end. That he wants out. He's done.
He needs to break his contract and run for the hills!!! And get as far away from this circus as possible. It's killing him. No one deserves this hostage lifestyle.
Do you think the attendees at IFTA and BFTA know that T is not who he is supposed to be?
I don't think he's significant enough for anyone to care. But I would imagine those who know her well likely do and they all understand how the business works. Bigger question is do they wonder why he doesn't take better care. Did he expect to get cut loose by now? Did he mourn the extension to season 8 more than anyone? What's the going rate for integrity these days?
And I think most there know who she is but not much more about her. We read everything, they certainly don't.
It's the birthday of Marcus Aurelius! He was born on 26 April 121 AD.
What better way to celebrate than having a mini Conversations with Modern Stoicism event with one of our favourite Marcus Aurelius authors? Join us for free here: https://lu.ma/flftbt9f?tk=BYyZCt
This event is scheduled for one hour, though we are likely to have a bit of encore Q&A with Donald. He is currently in Athens, Greece and will be delivering his presentation from there.
We are squeezing this session into an hour. We'll have an intro, Donald's Presentation, Q&A, Breakout Sessions, and then an open conversation and Q&A with the audience.
Join us for this special Marcus Aurelius Birthday Celebration on Friday, 26 April!
