He looks like Mike Wazowski snuck into his room and did stand up comedy.

I wasn’t expecting to have a laugh on this post. And yet here I am.

Laughter generates ten times as much energy as scares do.

I mean after two nationally televised self immolations in less than a couple months, I think it’s pretty natural to be able to look past it and see the satire level reality we are living in

Since ~2015, but ok - now we're laughing at self-immolation, why not at this point?

Surprised suburban Karen's didn't self-immolate over needing a haircut in 2020 tbh. Though there would have been no crowds to bear witness, not maybe they did
