Please sign my petition to give Branson the budget to make a Ken Burns style documentary about every American President but it's entirely based around whatever vibes he decides they have

Is anyone interested in learning how many personal pan pizzas I earned through the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program in second grade?

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest
