We live in the weirdest fucking timeline.

Truth is stranger than fiction, so they say. But honestly, that's really underselling it, because shit's real fuckin strange.

Pretty sure about 8 years ago the Onion started writing plain news, and in the last year or so they've moved on to writing the laws of the universe.

I didn’t think this phrase would be so prevalent though. Did previous generations go through the same thoughts?

I wouldn't count out Trump jumping into the mix to weirden things up, either.

EDIT: some comments there point out that Snoop Dogg apparently has a history too, so the image is probably a little misleading, but still...

Two morally confused egotistical millionaires (billionaires?) scheming together in a jail cell? This can not be good.

Idk if the commissary can keep that much baby oil on site.

Hahaha isn't that place known to be pretty rough?

I love it when evil rich people have to suffer. Its like the best kind of justice. Actual justice.

[–] olympicyes 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The wiki page for the prison is pretty interesting. Quite the rogues gallery of convicts who have had a stay there!

[–] peopleproblems 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Man you weren't kidding. The NXIVM sex slavery guy, bunch of mafia guys, R Kelly.

I started looking up other federal prisons. There is one at Terminal Island in the Port of Los Angeles that had such a reputation as Club Fed that they had to add barbed wire and armed guards in the 80s for PR purposes. Al Capone had a stay there.

I was thinking more of Frank Reynolds from It's Always Sunny.

It was the T-800

Holy shit, I thought this was a joke.

They share a dormitory with other inmates in a prison notorious for bad conditions. By American Standards.

I love you Philip Morris this is not.

The movie that ended with the main character being tortured?

What are the odds of two billionaires sharing a jail cell? Has it ever happened before? Or I guess SBF is a former billionaire on paper so maybe he doesn't count. Either way, its nice to see the legal system locking up monsters.

[–] jeffw 10 points 2 months ago

Idk but it still hasn’t happened.

Diddy was never worth that much and SBF’s worth was built on lies.
