Sorry, Not Sorry
About epically-failed comedians and their rotten jokes ...
Sorry not sorry
I have no time to cater to your insecurity
I’m too busy
I have so much to do just for me
Sorry not sorry
Why are you so angry?
Be grateful that I’m honest when I tell you
that your stupid jokes ain’t funny
Don’t tell me to chill
Why should I care about how you feel
when it’s my confidence you try to kill?
Sorry not sorry
Your lame jokes are lost on me
I have no interests
in soothing your wounded frail ego
There’s one thing you ought to know:
My limited time is too precious
to be wasted on something so ridiculous
I don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish
by putting me down in public
I’ve met playground bullies like you before
They all acted as if they were so much more
Believe me when I say,
they’ve never gone that far
I don’t even care where they are
Sorry not sorry,
attention-seekers like you are a joke to me.

What happened when the US military met a giant in Afghanistan?
In 2016, a story circulated about a U.S. Special Forces encounter with a 13-foot-tall giant in Afghanistan in 2002. The story, presented in interviews by L.A. Marzulli, claimed that the giant killed one soldier before being killed by the rest of the unit. 🤔❗ So, the story goes like this: a group of U.S. soldiers vanished during a patrol in Kandahar. Special Forces were sent to investigate, and they stumbled upon a cave with military gear but no sign of the missing soldiers. 🕵️♂️❓ Apparently, a huge, red-headed giant - we're talking 12-15 feet tall with six fingers on each hand - emerged from the cave! One brave (or foolish) soldier charged at the giant and got impaled by its spear. 😵🔪 Marzulli, a self-titled expert on cryptids and the supernatural, connected the giant's appearance to the Biblical interpretation of the Nephilim. He presented a chunk of bronze, claiming it aligned with the description of the giant's spear. 🧙♂️📜 Of course, the Department of Defense was like, "Giant? What giant? We don't know anything about that." This led to conspiracy theories about a government cover-up. 🕵️♂️🤫 Snopes did some digging and found out that the only U.S. Army death in Kandahar in 2002 that matched the name "Dan" was Sergeant First Class Daniel A. Romero. Plot twist: he died in an accidental explosion, not fighting a giant. 💣😔 The story's premise reads like fiction, with inconsistencies and a lack of resolution regarding the initial disappearance of the patrol squad. The sources all lead back to Marzulli's now-deleted YouTube video, and the story itself doesn't even have a proper ending. 🤷♂️📹 It is likely that the story was fabricated by Marzulli to gain popularity among conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, the U.S. military was busy fighting the actual War in Afghanistan in 2002. 💥🇦🇫 The giant of Kandahar story might have started as a way for soldiers to cope with the stress and uncertainty of war or as a prank played by senior members on new recruits. 😅🤐 While such stories can provide insight into the emotional and psychological impact of war on soldiers, the sacrifices made by those involved in conflicts should be acknowledged and respected. It is important to recognize that many soldiers may suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of their experiences. 🤝✊

I Am a Prisoner who Dreams of Prisons
The dream always starts the same: I feel the cold bite of wind gnawing through clothes entirely inadequate to protect from the weather and I realize I am standing in line. Ahead of me and behind me are other inmates, identified by the burgundy scrubs we were issued upon arrival. I don't know where we're going.
