Do you ever online Christmas shop for your friends and family only to find a bunch of shit that you really like that’s on sale so you end up buying 3 items for yourself for every 1 item that’s a gift? Me neither

The Trump regime & the odious future it foretells will be unrelenting & will hit pain points we didn’t even know we had. It hastens thoughts of a famous stoic & the basic concept of he lived by & has given me the mental capacity to endure: bloviatedclothiers.etsy.com/listing/1749...

Really embarrassing event happened yesterday at the USC UCLA game. A Trojan and a Bruin fan got into a huge fight over which team was going to win. The Bruin insisted the Trojans would win while the Trojan was convinced the Bruins would win. Really quite ugly.
