I listened to the Podcast of this first (which could go in the podcast thread) - it's about a crazy Zimbabwean criminal who started off selling online legal pills somewhat illegally before.
Whoops, here's the main page: https://magazine.atavist.com/the-mastermind

Not sure what thread to put this in
firstly, Lori Laughlin has not aged a day
2nd, are we supposed to be surprised people who can afford to, are paying more to get their kids in to a good school? How is that even news? Fuck, i would do it. Anyone who says they wouldn't either doesn't have kids, or is a liar.
This is what you get for a system that cares more about what the name of the school is than anything else.

That’s deep man . I was just wondering how long Lori has to be in jail before she goes gay for the stay ?

This is worth listening to. Doyle comes across as a very smart guy , he’s aware Titiana will eventually run its course and then he’ll create something else .

@Salacious-Crumb have you read the reviews on Amazon ?

Finished Utopia for Realists, and How We Get There by Rutger Bregman
Basically Rutger is a rabid lefty socialist, and this is his thoughts on the future for people.
As i expected, I don't agree with a number of his conclusions or points, but, the book did make me think about a number of things/attitudes/beliefs i have always taken for granted, and have a think about why i hold those attitudes.
It's pretty light on real, thought out solutions, but then i don't think that is his overall aim. It's also well researched to find the statistics that help his view.
The surprise to me was how far he varies from the rabid lefties we hear from so much these days. A lot of his points mirror things said by our righties on here. He also spends a chapter decrying the victim mentality of what he calls the "underdog socialist".
So. i found it an interesting read, if only to have a look at an outlook at odds with my own. It helps that he is an engaging and enthusiastic writer, so it stays light throughout (to its detriment at times).

@Stockcar86 very sad. Fuck he looks bad

@Stockcar86 Wow. Some people don't age well at all do they?

@antipodean I guess the two bottles of vodka and 10 grams of coke per day wasn't the best moisturising regime.

Yeah an addictive personality really ages people. Somewhere in their forties they add an additional twenty years.
