It’s come to my attention that I inspired Cheryl Strayed to learn to powerlift, so as soon as I’m done screaming crying and throwing up I will have no choice but to retire. Thank you for understanding www.instagram.com/p/DMWO-zsyAn...

People combing through the FDA and Dept of Education budgets line by line for more cuts while behind them Elon turns a rocket made of construction paper and Elmer’s glue into confetti every two weeks and bills the government another $50 billion
