Well they can't pull all this shit and then tell us not to drink

Who is this guy's writer? If he doesn't already work for The Onion, @bencollins.bsky.social should get on that.

We finally found time to take down the Cbristmas tree this evening. To set the mood, my husband made hot chocolate and found a Satan playlist.

I would like to announce some good personal news
