Assisti uns episódios de arcane (bem largado porque meu pai colocou na TV e eu tô de bobeira na sala) e tô entendendo porque as pessoas shippam tanto o Viktor com o Jace (eu acho que são eles pelo menos)

@janette.bsky.social

Can someone ask Woody Allen's defenders -especially Scar Jo- what they think about Allen being friends with Epstein? Since Dylan Farrow being sexually abused by him *as a child* wasn't enough for them to relegate him to persona non grata status?

Pedantic

I just saw a TV ad for Kalshi that had long odds for things like “Will the Wright brothers fly?”

My favorite that they use to end the spot was “Will The Spartans win the War?”
