It's hard to sum up the Trump Doctrine of International Affairs, but "But I want an Oompa-Loompa now!" goes a long way

This is amazing. I would go to Seattle just to buy a plant at the gay plant store. And I can't keep any plants alive!
If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

You'd think as things get worse more and more people would admit they made a mistake supporting Trump. But history suggests the opposite is true. As the social and moral cost of admitting they made a horrible error increases, plenty of prideful people will double down to avoid acknowledging it.

Use the good china!
I found fancy fountain pen inks dried out.
That expensive liquor oxidizes and changes flavor.
The lotion goes rancid.
Drink it, use it, don't save it for a brighter day. Find joy in your world. Grab Grandma's crystal for your morning juice. Don't wait. Life is short.
