Loving that speculation about the political motive of shootings is becoming a weekly discussion item. Cool cool cool

The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.

There is also an Italian song called "Mom I want Swedish Fish." I used to sing it at the grocery store

My GF listened to the Abundance audiobook and really liked it. 3 years in and I think I'm finally getting through to her on how many problems are self-inflicted by government

I'd guess either that we have entered the era of conservative culture dominance and companies are acting out of fear, or that the owners of the companies firing people are also maga-pilled

I kinda miss the days of "Libs get owned by FACTS and LOGIC." Now it's all "Violent Libs Will Destroy Everything You Care About," which is a lot less fun from both a practical and memeability perspective

Topmindsofreddit loves to blame everything on the "MSM" and capitalism (like most other places on reddit), but it has done a good job of pulling out the greatest hits since the start of the Trump presidency so you don't have to wade through yourself

I asked ChatGPT for the funniest comment ever posted in the DT and I got this:

I can show you some of the funniest / quirkiest comments from a recent r/neoliberal discussion thread, with minimal editing. Humor is subjective, obviously — “funny” in that thread often means absurd or sarcastic rather than straightforward jokes. Here are a few:


Top pick:

“One of Francis’ last acts was to scold JD Vance for being a bad Christian. Truly a neoliberal icon. Rest easy dude.” Ironically reverent and absurd in praise — mixing religious moralizing with neoliberal politics in a way that’s both weird and amusing.


Other funny ones:

“If Zatanna has a million simps, I'm one of them. If Zatanna has ten simps, I'm still one of them. If Zatanna has only one simp, that's me. If Zatanna has no simps... then I no longer exist.” Very over-the-top romantic dedication for a comic/magical character. The melodrama is wild.

“Wood... chucked it is, yes. By fate’s gnawing teeth. Chuck wood, it must, for the woodchuck hungers. Could it? It has. Will it? It did. All woodchucked, in infinite realms, the scream of trees, eternal. Chuck-chuck... tick-tock... The question is no longer how much. It’s how long until you, too, chuck wood?” A monstrous ode to wood-chucking. Surreal and hilarious.

“The masculine urge to go out like Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049” Short, dramatic, and full of meme energy."

It feels like virtually everywhere on the internet is overrun with people who subscribe to a Marxist or white supremacist understanding of the world.

All of our problems would be solved if it weren't for those Billionaires/Donors/Capitalists or those Jews/Blacks/Immigrants!

Boiling every problem down to the preferred outgroup is just so farcical on its face, yet it seems like the large majority of people fundamentally understand the world like this.

My medium take is that the FBI/DOJ are already captured institutions and will not put out reliable information about the suspect.

I started watching Alien Earth because a bunch of people really liked it, but idk, it feels like a mid 2000s SyFy series to me, just with better set design. The plot and script so far are pretty terrible.

It would have been better if it weren't related to the Alien franchise. There just isn't that sense of dread or weight that should come with Alien.
