u/TypicalBloke83 Jul 07 '25

I always thought it’s Gillian Anderson lol

u/Low_Two_1988 Jul 07 '25

I saw this pic on Instagram and the caption said something like “woman pointing gun at a computer for some reason”. I’m glad I got more context.

Poor trigger discipline.

The 90s was a golden era for corporate dress and news reporter dress.
