A band that everyone agrees sucked shit play one gig in Manchester - everyone who attends goes on to form their own band, shaping UK music for decades. Their artist is the nephew of the founder of the druidic order. You're telling me that this is all "a coincidence"? and that "this is a Wendy's"?

i've seen post-debate arguments that Biden is surrounded by a decision-sharing team so voters shouldn't be afraid he can't handle the job and i have to wonder if any of those smart team members ever suggested that the debate itself was a high-risk low-reward gamble and that he shouldn't do it
