“Maybe we should just burn this house down” – me, eventually, every time

I was promised that the robots would look like a young Jude Law

Putting me in the class where I was sure to be bored stiff was probably correct in that I was far less likely to be a behavioral problem under those conditions, but it sure didn’t set me up to be an even halfway decent student. I got through school on being good at reading + anxiety.

I taught myself to read, with an assist from Teddy Ruxpin, before kindergarten, but I do remember the other kids being taught phonics as I daydreamed or doodled or whatever (they insisted on splitting up me and my twin brother, and put him in the class with the other kids who could already read).

I’m imagining it in Julia Sugarbaker’s voice

I see that you’re pasting this reply to every comment, including another of mine to the other Senator, regardless of the content of what you’re replying to.

I mean… what registered Democrat with a shred of decency isn’t already looking around at who else might be on offer in their state in the coming years

I’ve been wondering

Glad to hear it

A vote in the future is not enough. As a constituent, and a contractor on the verge of furlough, I would still urge you to reconsider capitulating at this juncture. I have every reason to want the government to reopen soon, but more than that, I want people not to lose their access to healthcare

As a constituent, and a federal contractor staring down furloughs, I would urge you to hold the line on extending the ACA credits — now is not the time to capitulate, particularly not for the mere promise of a vote later — and what is that promise worth? People need help now, not a maybe, later.

And I thought *I* was bad at contouring

lol his tanner hates him too (and what could be less surprising than that)
