The Bambi Sleep files— controversial hypnosis recordings designed to turn listeners into sex-obsessed "bimbos" —are popular online. They may have been used to brainwash several people, who claim they faced months of abuse in a Bambi-themed cult. My latest tinyurl.com/3phurdnp

I saw “John Wick: Chapter 4." Should you? F*YES. It was so amazing. It make you lie back in ecstasy. Your molecules will separate. You will transcend your human form and evolve into a beam of pure truth and light. Some more thoughts: buzzfeednews.com/article/ven… via @BuzzFeedNews

“I kept on thinking, ‘They could fire you anytime, and if they do, nothing you say will matter. Say what you say right now while you’re in here, so they can’t say I’m just speaking out because I got fired.’” On an Amazon worker finding his voice: buzzfeednews.com/article/alb…
