Hey, we all thought we’d be in a better place after the shitbucket year that was 2020, amiright? Well, looks like delta variants and Taliban takeovers and our previous president spending 9/11 doing PPV boxing commentary, 2021 ain’t shaping up to be much better.

Greetings and salutations, friends and fiends. Peeking out from under the covers to see if the world has gotten any better since last week and…uh…yeah, nope.
