Today…
I can’t. My brain has been glitching since I saw that bullshit line from the sheriff’s official about the Atlanta shooter that, you know, Tuesday “was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.”
A really bad day! C’mon you guys. It was a really bad day. Poor. little. bunny. It was really bad! For him! For him it was a really bad day!
That’s been my whole brain on a loop. All that changes is the emphasis. Really bad day. It was a really bad day. For him.
