You really want to know why kids are depressed and isolated? It's not social media. Or phones. Adults have created a world with fuck all future. No job security. No owning your own home. No real action on climate. Adults need to take responsibility for what they have done.

Peter Sellers got to cosplay as Hitler & 5 other characters in this ill-judged wartime comedy. Stand by for farting Nazis, himself in yellowface & a whirlwind romance with Liza Minnelli!
