Posted on December 26, 2022 by mikethemadbiologist

I’m absolutely fascinated, in a car wreck kind of way, watching Elongated Muskrat repeatedly punch himself in the nuts. Not only is elon stonks go down (aka ‘Tesla share prices are dropping’), but he seems to be crappifying Twitter at … Continue reading →

Posted on November 28, 2022 by mikethemadbiologist
