This is…so much worse than Watergate. The worst shit Nixon ever imagined was like three exits ago. And it’ll be below the fold tomorrow and off the front pages by Monday. We’re going on a decade of totally unforgivable negligence by virtually all of our major political media. This is madness.

I would just like to say that "Duck Duck Grey Duck" is superior to "Duck Duck Goose" because you'd always get the almost names. Duck, duck, purple duck, duck, rainbow duck, duck, grey duck! I dunno maybe y'all called each other a variety of animals instead of multicolor ducks, but. Rainbow duck.

So, I attempted using a habit gamify app to help me keep track of stuff. One of the beginner tasks it had was "do something that makes you happy." I literally couldn't think of anything. This has been a problem for me for a long time. I hate how I feel so broken on a fundamental level.
