Charlie Sheen says he relied on Xanax, alcohol and “time travel” naps to survive a typical day on set while addicted to crack

“I was doing this thing where I was partying, hitting the fucking pipe, either girls or porn or both or whoever showed up. Come on in. There's plenty to go around”

“I felt like I was time traveling from 1 a.m. to 7. It felt like 15 minutes. Whereas 9 a.m. to midnight felt normal. Wow, we have plenty of time to do everything. And then the hours I really needed to settle in and enjoy just vanished”

“I got someone banging on my door. ‘Dude, you're late. What the fuck?’ And I'm still fucking sideways. So I'd pop a couple shots or like half a Xanax or something”

“I would literally do this thing. It was a 15 minute, 20 minute nap where I would just hit the pillow. I'd try to meditate with a body just vibrating from crack all night. I'm trying to fucking time travel. I'm trying to levitate”

“Then I would hit the shower and I'd say, ‘Okay, I only have to navigate from this shower to the next shower and that's about 11, maybe 12 hours’”

“And then I'd get to work and have that midday drop off. I wasn't hitting the pipe at work, but I needed to keep some fuel in the engine. So I'd start drinking”

“People look at sitcoms like, ‘Oh, they're out there having a fun time.’ Man, it is super fucking complicated”

Guitarists at home, you can shred like Corey Feldman…🎸🔥

Step 1. First thing you have to do is crank your gain way too high, no noise gate. You want that feedback to singe your eardrums.

Step 2. You don’t have to worry about which string you’re actually hitting, give them all love.

Step 3. Combine the left-hand spider technique with those spastic guitar pick movements, and you get that perfect combination of pure shred.

Step 4. Make facial expressions that match the spider and spastic guitar techniques.

Ukraine is not losing. And for Russia, that's a major defeat.

Irish commentariat can be so precious if (heaven forbid) it gets some criticism once in a while...

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

I'm not sure the Irish understand the damage the recent story of their pumping economic support into Putin's war machine is doing to their reputation in Central/East Europe. The idea of Ireland standing on the side of the oppressed against imperialists is gone, probably forever.

In the 80's Knickerbocker released an ET themed light up finger toy, the product was quickly removed from stores and discontinued just a few months later.

I'm working on a script for a film called "Fast and Furious Cardiff", which is set in Wales.

It features many exciting car chases, but with a safe maximum speed limit of 20mph.

Exciting doesn't have to mean dangerous.

After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever

@BillyHorriganNP The criticism is coming from all across Europe, but its very telling you are seeking to blame horrible old Britain for stirring things up 🙄

[NatBuster @NatBuster]

Big bad Britain to blame... apparently

[Billy Horrigan🇮🇪 @BillyHorriganNP]

There are questions to be asked about the environment trade off of the Aughinish refinery, given longtime local concerns about health impacts on the community and potential leakage of toxic waste into the Shannon Estuary.

However the current political hysteria is little more than British intel spooks trying to damage Ireland's international reputation so they can accelerate its integration into NATO. The more you prostrate yourself to foreign interests, the more they demand of you.

When Julius Caesar was 32 he cried at the feet of a statue of Alexander The Great because he had achieved so little compared to him.

He later went on to rule the Roman world, become deified, lay the blueprint for european leadership for nearly 2,000 years and even had a month named after him.

It's never too late to get started.

This is a big deal, and signals a shift towards Ukraine.

And not a moment too soon.

[Ostap Yarysh @OstapYarysh]

‼️Rubio: Russia may not ever be able to militarily achieve the objectives they're now demanding in negotiations.

The Ukrainians have made battlefield gains over the last month. Ukraine has also become increasingly effective at conducting long-range strikes deep inside Russia and against critical nodes of the Russian economy.

And according to the Department of War, this is the first time ever that Russia has more deaths than casualties. So not only are the Ukrainians bravely fighting, they're effectively fighting.

The role we want to play is to see whether there's a way to negotiate a peaceful solution. Ultimately, the end of this war is going to be negotiated. But it's been difficult because the demands both sides have set for ending it remain far apart.

Many people in the west don't realise that Chinese communists make Ronald Reagan look like an extreme redistributionist. In today's China personal taxes are ultra-low and there is very limited provision of free public services. Xi's views on the welfare state would be labelled 'far right' in the west, illustrating - yet again - the horseshoe theory of the far left and the far right bending towards each the further to the extremes they go.
