That's the NYT article on the shut down. Starts out clear and then ends all muddy.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why has Chase sent me a "we've been hacked" email? I have a Chase account? *Now* I'm paranoid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The board has a Chase account, if it could be that?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I wonder if that was part of the plan?
Probably.
My favorite non-dairy ice cream is So Delicious coconut milk-based ice cream. No cholesterol but I'm sure it's high fat. But real dairy ice cream tastes even better.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'll take gelato over ice cream every day. Less fat too. Of course, I cancel out that fact by insisting that my delivery method for said gelato be in a brioche, but damn it's tasty.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I took it. It wasn't an accurate depiction of me at all.
The result seemed like an asspull but taking the test was cool. I was deciding a lot of things based on physics and others based on inflammation and infections. I really spend too much time with documentaries... Now I want to rewatch the one on cuttlefish.
I've only had 11 cars? That seems low. Even given my propensity to fall in love and keep them for a very long time.
What else to do??
Trepannation.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I was going to write a thing explaining why I want to kill people, but nah.
Suffice it to say, if you can't look in a ticket to verify your URL is correct and links where you want it to, I can't help you. We do what's in the ticket.

DJ, you don't have to explain. We're ready to provide alibis if necessary.

The cold on the forehead is working! But only as long as I have it on there, I think. Ah well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My org will keep going if the government shuts down, but I'm not entirely sure about my job.
