I started dreaming about arguing Cayman tax laws with someone, and the costs of havens. This is how I know it’s time for a break.

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

I love Fela Kuti's music (my apple music wrap said exactly that) but specifically in THIS moment, his music feels important. The DHS/ICE "Zombies" coming to our cities leaving Sorrow, Tears, and Blood (dem regular trade mark,) while Elon Musk the International Thief Thief makes off with our money.

I just spoke to a customer service rep that was wildly rude. It's too early in the day and late in the year for that, I will let my problem be solved another way, but remember you chose this route.
