It is terrifying how well FOMO works...

Good Morning Bluesky Well, @commandersterling.bsky.social has put up yet another banger (insert sex joke here). This one has a guest singing bit from @pandangit.com that made me shoot coffee out my nose while simultaneously making great points. 10/10, will thank God for The Commander
