That moment when you think you're admiring an ironic Kim Jong Un t-shirt but you're actually a racist admiring a #Twins t-shirt. #kimjongun #racism #awkward #schwarzenegger #dannydevito

Early weekend. Trying #HungryRoot for the first time watching #documentarynow. Super impressed with the taste and portions under 500 calories. Might be a new regular weekday meal option.
