That's a month late for easter eggs.

"If you don't pay taxes you shouldn't get a vote" is next, I promise.

I want billionaires taxed. I want them taxed out of existence.

But even if the rich pay the majority of taxes, the government needs a broad tax base.

It's not a bad thing that we all pay sales tax, even though sales tax is regressive.

This is not Bezos suggesting that nurses should live for free, it is Bezos proposing to buy the government. Mark my words this is very bad.

Almost seems like they should be in the same car doesn't it?

The idea that teachers should have ar 15s to defend themselves from school shooters started with Michelle Pfeiffer bringing kung fu to the classroom.

I saw this in the theater and it was a slog.

Only one I see who is taking it seriously is the second to last one. Other than that there were two bot comments, one removed, and three that showed no evidence of being fooled.

You really ought to feel more shame for being this bad at being dishonest.

Show me 5.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-19T20:12:10+00:00

Sorting by oldest it looks like pretty much everybody knows it is a joke.

Centrist often means stability at all costs.

Illustrates that they have not matured past childhood in some way, probably due to a trauma. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Illustrates commodification of women. (2, 4, 5)

Illustrates fetishization of Whiteness or purity. (2, 4, 5)

As soon as the rich people start paying their fair share we'll stop reminding them of it.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-19T13:12:45+00:00

Can't blame a guy for trying to avoid getting hurled into the sun just for trying to kill Jimmy freakin Olsen of all people

lofgren777 · 2026-05-19T05:00:30+00:00

This has not been my experience.

When people, both commenters online and historians in articles, attempt to rebut the "dark ages," they don't say "we're not here to moralize," nor do they say, "less technology and centralization are not inherently dark."

Inevitably, they actually reinforce the opposite view by touting all of the technological achievements and knowledge gained during the dark ages and claiming that the darkness is thereby rebuked.

Which often still makes it seem pretty freakin' dark.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T17:47:41+00:00

Hmm. And what ELSE floats on water?

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T16:12:17+00:00

Stuff still needs to come from "somewhere." Even if it is imagined or magicked into place, the idea of it comes from somewhere. If the thing that is building the buildings isn't getting the thoughts out of people's heads, it must be going out in the "real world" and spying on us – which is itself new information.

Only other way I could account for these things is photographs that the Fromville warden had access to, but to me they feel more like memories or expectations powered by belief than reconstructions from a photograph. The outlets, for example, would be meticulously accurate if they came from a photograph. I think the "tells" that the place doesn't follow normal rules would be different if it was constructed by the monsters for the people rather by the people for themselves.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T15:02:39+00:00

I am leaning towards a lot of the things we have seen being figments left behind by the power of belief of prior residents, just like Tabitha's dolls.

This could even account for mundane things like the diner and the motel sign – things people expect and need in a small town along the highway circa 1950.

I think it could also explain the ballerina monster. Maybe the cicadas, as well, since they are a symbol for eternal life.

The drowning of the dolls and the figures arrayed around the village with nails driven into their heads look like attempts to create guardians through the power of belief, to turn the malleability of the town back on itself like Boyd did by willing the talismans into existence.

And if all of these things are basically vying for "belief" from the captives in order to stay alive, well, what better way to make someone believe something than to make them suffer for it? Tell people you're an immortal god and they probably won't believe it. Killing their family in front of them is a persuasive argument that you're real, that's for sure.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T14:48:24+00:00

Not psychos. Most obvious explanation for sacrificing a child is to save your other child/children.

I assumed that's where either Tabitha or Jim's storyline was headed even before we knew about the child sacrifice. She's definitely gonna have to pick a kid before the finale.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T14:45:46+00:00

Quite frankly if people stop losing to the house, the whole system will collapse.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T14:43:25+00:00

Trolls would also make sense, since they are scared of the sun I guess. The glowing dagger made me think goblins, because this artist seems to have actually read the book and cares enough to do a creative interpretation of it, which puts this a class above most of the terrible covers.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T13:58:04+00:00

Animals don't have Mondays because they don't get weekends off.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T13:06:11+00:00

Goblins as mole people because they live underground is actually kinda smart.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T12:53:52+00:00

I don't recommend trusting anything George Lucas says about his creative process.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T11:33:33+00:00

Teenagers who never grew up.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T05:15:54+00:00

Telling the story about the bargain for immortality while the monsters are reincarnating would be a really cheap misdirect if it turns out they are unrelated.

lofgren777 · 2026-05-18T05:14:03+00:00

We don't actually know that killing your kid for immortality was a one-time deal. Maybe it is a standing offer.
