This is how I’m going to be moving now that I’m 40. Too old. Too tired. Too talented.
it’s a backwards world that people have to defend supporting Palestine. i’m tired, boss.
That virtual set + shitty virtual tv to impose the video call on is criminal.
Good on him for his stance tho.
I agree, it’s not even a cause. I hate it when people label me as pro-this or that. Israel’s behavior has been immoral, horrifying and something that people reading history books would be shocked to read that human beings were capable of such horror on others.
This is what I tell myself everyday. I’m too old, too tired and too caring to take shit from fascists. I will die on this hill.
crazy that this isn’t a boomer mentality. they where the woodstock kids. old ass woodstock kids.
Hot take but I love this man because he just says whatever he wants. He has major Ws (like this) a few Ls, but dammit at least we know he keeps it real and true to himself
Edit to add: he inspires me to be ungovernable when I’m old, no one will be able to stop me
Can I get Too old, too tired, and too talented as my flair pleeeeeease?
And that is how it should be. WD
As he should. Good for him.
A lot of older people are using that privilege to speak out – you see older protestors out at Palestine marches and rallies because they can show up and know it won’t impact their employment prospects etc (which unfortunately can be the case for younger people in ordinary jobs). They are also aware of the optics of how it looks for the police to arrest an elderly person who poses no threat at a protest and how that might look if pictured in a newspaper, or filmed for social media Etc. It can be a very useful privilege to wield.
He’s been vocal about his disdain for Johnny Debt too. Good takes all around from him! ❤️
Wheeelp, here I go watching Succession for the 5th time.
Based!
His opinions aren’t always great, but I think he has more WS than Ls and I respect that he says it like it is and isn’t afraid to speak his mind! And it’s wild that being “pro-Palestine” is even a thing, it’s something that should be self evident, nobody should even have to think about being against those atrocities being committed!
I applaud his support for the Palestinians. However, he could do better than shilling for the monster known as McDonalds.
Are people really being quiet about it? It seems like most celebrities support the cause, no? It’s brought up and posted more than almost any other issue besides maybe ICE atm. It’s not resulting in changes but it seems like most (def not all) celebs are on board.
Hell yeah that’s my line now *too old, too tired, and too talented* to take this racist shit
I’m going to steal that bar as soon as I hit 63 🔥
Boss shit
This is how all celebrities should be! You’re rich! Use your voice and stop being a coward!
National treasure
I know that’s right.
# This, “I’m too old, too tired, and too talented quite frankly to take any shit” needs to be a flair
He’s really annoying sometimes but politically he’s correct.
Logan roy tell Israel to fuck off
