Kevin McCarthy losing
fourfivesix consecutive Speaker of the House votes (so far) is legitimately one of the funniest things to ever happen. This is 2023’s boat stuck in the Suez Canal. Something important has ceased working for the most hilarious possible reason and we are all watching desperate attempts to get it working again while secretly hoping it does not, and I think that’s beautifullike sure it’s terrible that our government is such a goddamn circus, but the GOP dug themselves into this hole so we might as well point and laugh. here are some of the funnier updates from day 2 of this shit show:

Neurotypicals: Think Autistic people are exceptionally literal.
Autistics: Describe their experiences using phrases like:
- My brain feels like it’s filled with cotton laced with barbed wire, it’s not safe for me to make decisions right now.
- I’m entering a Wait Mode until we leave.
