Murray is getting on Jim's last nerve. He has been calling the station four times today already, yelling into Jim's ear how he should check on Billy Hargrove, because he's hiding something.

"He's a fucking teenager," Jim says, "Of course we don't get him, of course he's got secrets."

"No, Jim, he's been stealing stuff from Melvald's and has not gone home for the last two nights!" Murray rants. "There's something going on."

Hopper sighs into the phone. At this point he's getting a headache.

"Stop stalking a teenager, Murray."

"Then do your fucking job and investigate!" Murray shouts before hanging up.

Jim doesn't think about it for the rest of the day. But when he sees the Camaro parked at Melvald's parking lot in the middle of the night, after he's on his way home, he stops the car.

Maybe Murray is right, he considers, something is going on. And if it's not, he can tell the idiot at least that he's checked without lying.

He walks over to the Camaro, half way wondering if he'll cockblock a teenager on a date, but he stops dead when he looks inside the car.

Billy Hargrove is curled up on the backseat of his car, a ratty blanket wrapped around him and chewing on a sandwich. At eleven o'clock on a Thursday night. A dark bruise on his cheek.

Billy freezes when he sees him. Hopper can't blame him. He's a big guy.

Billy crawls in front of his car and opens the door. "Is there a problem, Chief?" He smiles at Jim, apparently unaware he's got blood on his teeth.

"Who did this?" Jim points at Billy's face. "And don't fucking lie to a police officer."

He swears internally when the kid flinches at that. He's not good at the whole talking thing.

"Um. I.." Billy coughs and it's obvious he tries to come up with a lie.

"Your old man?" Hopper guesses, because he knows the story. Because he's fucking lived it, too.

Billy stares at him with wide eyes. "It's...I'm...He... doesn't really.."

Jim tries to keep his anger at bay. "Whatever he is, he is wrong about it. You're coming with me."

"Am I... arrested?" Billy asks. Hopper wants to punch someone. Preferably Hargrove Senior.

"No. We're going to mine...and I'm...going to help you." Thank God he doesn't sound as unsure as he feels. He just needs to get Billy away from this man. He's got to figure out how to help this kid.

He wishes the worst thing of all of this would be telling Murray Bauman, he's right. It isn't. It's a fucker kicking out his son after beating him up.

But Billy follows him and sits down on the passenger's seat of his car, still clutching the sandwich. It's a start at least.

"writers deserve attention more than actors" literally only 2% of actors can pay the bills with acting. For every megastar on screen there are a dozen other people in the shot who are SAG. Acting gets so glamorized but there are SO MANY people in SAG who NEED residuals to live on. Background Party Girl #4 needs her check too!!!! There are people who play recurring characters on syndicated shows who cant afford health insurance!!! Ke Huy Quan gave an oscar winning performance and LOST HIS HEALTH INSURANCE the next year.

#SAG strike #WGA strike #im about to start throwing things #you hear like scarjo gets 3 million for a film but most actors get 10k for LEADING roles

i’m not posting the actual tiktok because it involves another patient being recorded without their knowledge and clearly not doing okay but y’all we were so close to mental illness being destigmatized. we were so close but now the general public sees mental illness as two separate groups - the quirky relatable depression and anxiety, and the weird cringy scary schizo-spectrum disorders, ocd, personality disorders, and so on. #mentalhealthmatters as long as it’s not one of those weird scary illnesses

#5 million likes. we’re fucking cooked

Since October 7th, Joe Biden, who is currently trying to get a lawsuit dismissed that says he is responsible for the genocide of Palestinians, has:

Vetoed the UN resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza

Asked Congress to approve the sale of 45,000 shells for Israel's Merkava tanks for use in its offensive against Hamas in Gaza

Sent $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel

Met with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said to him "I don't believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist."

Publicly said that he saw the Israeli beheaded babies and then had to take it back since it was debunked

Approved a $320 million 320 for precision-guided bomb equipment for Israel

Defended the raid of Al Shifa hospital where thousands of injured and displaced civilians were sheltering

Said he had no reason to believe the Palestinian death toll was correct because he believed the source was unreliable despite the Health Ministry being recognized as a valid source

Said Hamas’ attack on Israel was like fifteen 9/11s

#this is all I can think of right now but he’s also done a million other things #palestine #joe biden #🦢

whenever i see another tiktok girlie talking about how she wishes to have been a fangirl in 2010s i feel like a seasoned veteran overhearing a foolish youngin boasting about wanting to go to war for glory and adventure. you naive little idiot. you know nothing. you understand nothing. you weren't there in the trenches. i have seen things, terrible things. i cannot plug in my phone charger at night without being plagued by the visions of Him

#you wouldn't be able to keep calm and carry on through these years #you can't even say kill without censoring it in a million ways #2010s were a bloodbath be glad you were a baby at the time and didn't witness it #on another subject anyone remember that short period of time when everyone was into moustaches for some reason?? #what the fuck was that about
