      “A Chirigota in Theory” is actually a pretty solid name. Spanish carnival groups don’t mess around with their comedy bits.

      They’re on their way to meet up with the Epstein cosplayers for deep sea diving.

    3. I imagine the logistics of shipping them all to Epstein’s island will be difficult.

      ALS is a horrible illness and disability, but Stephen Hawking doesn’t seem like a good person to be the reason it gets any, he was a smart person and lived longer than many with ALS – but he was also a child predator.

    5. Imagine you walk out of the bar drunk af and see this coming toward you 💀

      Everyone agrees that none of these people is in fact Stephen Hawking, correct? They *remind* you of him and thus you aren’t seeing them as who they are in reality but you do know they aren’t him, either.

      I mean there’s other ways to raise awareness on ALS….this is just creepy.

      TIL Stephen Hawking had ALS like I had absolutely no idea. I thought he was born like that

      Just a reminder that it was SUPER rare to live with ALS for decades. Most people with ALS pass within 5 years.

      All I can think while watching this is how much those cobblestones must have fucked those little scooters up. Rough riders indeed!
