But you gotta bring a knife to a knife fight. You don't unilaterally disarm. You say, hey, this is a terrible thing when you do it to us or when we do it to you, so how about we stop doing it to each other? I would also probably do some self-indulgent shit.
I would buy the castle in the small village where my boyfriend grew up, which has a tower and a great hall and a chapel and a dungeon and everything. And an island. I would probably buy an island, but in Greece. Here's the thing, though. I don't think anybody should be a billionaire, not even me. The existence of a fortune like that. is evidence of a crime having been committed.

In the same way, finding a body with its head cut off is evidence that a crime has been committed. You may not have seen the murder, you may not have the murder weapon, but that decapitated body all by itself? Evidence a crime has been committed. Probably more than one. In the case of the decapitated body, there's been a murder. People can't decapitate themselves. Someone cut that dude's head off.

In the case of the billionaire? For so much wealth to flow to one person at the top, politicians were bought and sold, regulations were undone or went unenforced, wages were stolen. Interestingly, a billionaire did get arrested this weekend. Pavel Durov, a Russian national, founder of Telegram, the end-to-end encrypted message sharing app.

I'm not going to get into the particulars of the alleged crimes for which the French detained Pavel Durov. I just want to talk about the weird billionaire thing that he's done. Fathering children, a lot of them. Not fathering them in the sense that he helps with homework or shows up at school plays, just fathering in the sense that he had an orgasm.

He donates sperm, buckets of it, gallons of it, oceans of it. He's reportedly got more than 100 biological children rattling around him. Treating your dick like a Pez dispenser filled with DNA is a lot of things, but it's not fatherhood. But like a lot of weird-ass billionaires, he believes his genetic material is superior to non-billionaire genetic material, and he is a natalist.

People who believe that... Men like him, rich men, white men need to have a lot more kids. And if women don't want to have kids with those men, then we need to figure out how to return to a culture of coercing women to have kids with men they don't want to have kids with.

Here's hoping Durov's superior genetic material comes with a trust fund for each and every one of his kids to pay for the cosmetic surgeries they're going to need later in life if they want to look like dad when they grow up. Or look like dad does now. Because Durov's had some work done. Good work. Quality work. He can obviously afford the best. He looks great.

In all honesty, I would let him inseminate me. But his actual genetic material isn't coded for... the hairline, cheekbones, or jawline he has now. Nice tits, though, for a billionaire. They're all over Instagram. If you want to check out Durov's tits, go to at Durov on Instagram and threads.

All of this weirdly brings me to Roseanne Barr, the disgraced comedian, terrible human being, Trump-supporting racist nut. I don't think she's well. But a long time ago, she said something I kind of agreed with. Two things, actually, she said that I agreed with. She wants someone out there to invent chocolate air. I would like that, too.

And back when she was running for president in 2012, she originally ran for the Green Party nomination, which she lost to eternal grifter Jill Stein. So Barr ran on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket and got 70,000 votes in 2012. That was before she entirely lost her mind, before she threw in with alleged billionaire criminal Donald Trump. To be clear, he is a criminal. That's not alleged.
