What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

Found some gravity-defying taco seasoning at work today.

And now I have heard it all, and I can confirm that the world is in a chaotic state. Going to bed.

Real talk

Just Wow

And there goes TikTok

Psalm 27 is needed today. I will leave it there.

SSA branch that assists lawmakers with issues brought to them by their constituents has just been slashed from 35 people to 3 people.
