Freedom and democracy are only dead if you stop fighting for it. Keep voting. Keep protecting your privacy as best you can. Do everything you can to speak out against bullshit like this.

You think being stuck on a deserted island might be one of Larson’s fears?

Edit to add: and The Goonies!

Made all the better. Dark fantasy at its best.

This and the constant lying while doing it!
