celsius and creatine powder to prepare for a grueling day ahead (seeing nathan fielder movie, scrolling twitter for four hours to see what i think about it)
good answer
it's a funny quote, but it's also (if true) a perfect example of why appeasement, even for trivial stuff like renaming a body of water, never works. unfortunately too many powerful people and institutions in the trump era never absorbed that lesson
