"We don’t have Ketchup, mustard, ranch dressing or pickles"β€”a sign at a new uber-trendy, overpriced, forced-casual, young-hipster-magnet restaurant in my hood, proudly proclaiming the power they have over the sheep who spend their money there. Condiment snobbery portends the end of humanity!

Admit it @mouthyrenegade.bsky.social is who you secretly want to be. So stop being so fucking polite. No more mad AF. It's mad as fuck. Grow up and grow some balls or pussy or whatever you need to grow, but nice doesn't cut it anymore. You don't want a king? Be an emperor of New York-style rage.
