    Oh shit

    I set “You’ve got mail” as my default notification sound as a joke less than a week ago. (E: not quite, more like 10 days ago)

    RIP, your voice was heard by millions.

    So we loose this guy but not putin or ‘you’re fired’ guy. If there hasn’t been any sign indicating the absence of a god, I don’t know what else you would need.

    Meanwhile I’ll keep searching for"did trump choke on a pretzel today?" On my favorite search engine that doesn’t start with G.
