the future is now

Michael wearing a light blue t-shirt emblazoned with an image of the Supreme Court building, ruined and decayed and overtaken by nature. Green plants grow over and through it. Michael has one hand on his head and a ridiculous open mouth grin, looking up at the sky with his eyes squinted, in the same pose as an infamous Lebron James selfie.
