“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Trolling level: Russian Bot

The legacy media got trolled, hard, by not one, but two parody social media accounts, and made complete asses out of themselves in the process: Boy, sometimes God just hands you one for free. I am sometimes questioned by my family for my extreme hostility to...
