Absolutely right about Legacy. The OG Tron is a work of beautiful genius though

Amazing movie

I got my autism from the antifa circumcision parties

The actual book is not edible Earlier this week I joked that the great thing about being a performer who is also a writer is that you can move away from the week long anxiety attacks that go along with putting on a show.
