Uh has anyone done a brain slug check recently?

Sometimes when the slug wiggles a certain way it causes a normal thought to drip out.

This headline is easy to read wrong -- my brain grouped the subject of this headline the other way at first. I read, "Marjorie rages at (Mike and calls to fund government)" rather than "Marjorie (rages at Mike) and (calls to fund government)."

How the hell did MTG start sounding reasonable. What alternate universe have we entered.

The Darkest Timeline, or hear me out… they were swapped with their Mirror Universe counterpart.

OK, I'm selling everything and moving to a cave in the mountains, because if MTG is going to act sane for 5 minutes in a row, then some serious shit is coming down
