Meeting w/ Self-Loathing and Narcissism departments/tendencies to brainstorm exciting new potential collabs
Someone must’ve hacked my calendar because this is word for word how I spend every single day. Not sure how people who work from home and don’t have a boss stay productive and/or how they prevent themselves from staring into space for an hour.
“Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of ‘South Park’ to ‘South America,’” Parker and Stone said in a statement. “We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount — a Skydance Capitulation.”
