He and his nation are in a tough spot I don't begrudge him any decision he makes at this point.

It just grinds my gears that if I go searching (which I refuse to do) I know it will take me 5 seconds to find a maga citing this as evidence that Trump's bullying is clearly effective foreign policy and that Zelensky's cooperation represents an admission that everything said to him in the oval office was correct and OK.

Yeah that effing sucks. I really didn't think they'd bend the knee. I can't blame them, but it still makes me sad.

Salvia Divinorum

At one point in time I could probably have been convinced to try a lot of things. Fortunately for me (probably) Salvia Divinorum was the first thing I tried after marijuana, and it so thoroughly destroyed any notion I had that I could control my experience that it put me off trying just about everything else I was curious about.

Thank god the entire experience is single digit minutes.
