IIRC, when they did a recent-ish season, they had to add an explicitly Alex Jones type character so that it wouldn't be Mulder by default, lol.

While i'm on the subject, 6yo called Neuschwanstein "Hogwarts Castle" the other day, a thing he only knows about thanks to the LEGO catalogue.

I know you've had the license a while, but you can stop making new sets *any time* thanks.

🚨BREAKING: DEMS DRAW RED LINE IN DHS APPROPS: NO FUNDING INCREASE FOR ICE. POLICY RIDERS GROWING. STORY COMING IN MIGRANT INSIDER
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.

Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.

Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

It was in this conversation that i learned:

1) His companies had always paid for all his dependent insurance nearly 100% -- he didn't have to any real extra to cover family.

2) He had *never worked a job without a pension*

The olds have no fucking idea how easy they had it.

pro tip: even if you don't use the scripts, 5calls makes it very easy to just call your rep when you're pissed, and track whether their mailbox is full.
