Wow.
I remember learning about dinosaurs as an elementary schooler after Jurassic Park came out, and spending a few months on the playground pretending to be a velociraptor (well technically they're closer to deinonychous but w/e) ... apparently that is now banned, because otherwise I might have become a scaly, for life?

Nope. You gotta piss on it like a good god fearing Christian.
If you’re still in Texas, and not a furry, GTFO before they criminalize something YOU think is normal and harmless.
If they come for our search history, we all quit work and start throwing the eggs.
Eggs.

Shit, you're right! You said "political story," not "comment." Whoopsie-doodle!
