Finally, we're going to war. Against drugs. A "war on drugs," if you will.

I just know that this line is doing numbers on SF Hinge right now

To our Aussie friends down under 🇦🇺🦘…Us FSD testers have spent years training Teslas to perfect roundabouts so you should all have an excellent experience. Enjoy it so much! Excited for all of you!! 🤗

@eigenrobot Americans teaching their wives to relax and open up: So imagine I had a gun
