The Best We’ve Got

It’s official, We’re in trouble. I mean, we sort of already knew we were in trouble, didn’t we? Just look around you: the environment, Africa, AI, Tick Tock, the Middle East, Donald Trump, the fucking Ukraine — need I say more? But this makes it official. Call your congressman, tattoo…
