@admitsWrongIfProven there’s a lot of stranded merch no doubt.
you wake up and they’ve canceled the apocalypse.
running a better candidate is rigging the election.
when the fly escapes the spider, it’s a coup.
it’s cool to be hot and it’s hot to be cool and i am so confused.
sociopaths are easy to deal with if you keep in mind one, simple rule: the less sociopathic behavior pays off, the less sociopaths will behave sociopathically.

What was that slogan? Make America Grey Again?
i know this comes off as unhinged conspiracism. it might be!
but in my experience this number is 88 more often than any other number, too often to just be random or accurate in my view.
given that this is Elon Musk's joint, i can't help but wonder if it's his special brand of deniable bufoonery shining through.

More winning!
Sleepy Joe Biden was going to be the oldest major party nominee in US history, but the unstoppable Donald Trump has snatched that trophy from his grasp!

I hope that whoever is next continues and expands that good work.
