I love to absolutely wallow in the terrible corners of YouTube.

I feel very prepared to face the various enemies like fascists/people that make “ice restocking” videos etc

The only way I can interpret the GOP's actions is that they are 100% certain they will never face another democratic election again.

They hit the shore and burned their ships.

"Tennessee’s argument would call into question the longstanding freedom we all enjoy to live our lives as we wish, regardless of sex."

“Screaming. A million mouths screaming but also laughing the sky will bleed and there shall be a great flensing a burning away of the flesh it is coming there is no way to stop what is coming.”

I keep wondering why I have been so so tired recently, and it’s because I’m watching the rapid collapse of America 😀

What a blessing it must be to have never read any kind of history and be mostly unaware of the chaos we’re hurtling towards

I think they should nominate Dr Pepper for Surgeon General. It’s time. He’s earned it.
