The Hall of Fire

It's a "good" conspiracy theory as far as such things go, because it has enough of a kernel of truth to sound halfway plausible. There's no question that our drinking water, and the environment in general, is full of man-made chemicals that mimic sex hormones and mess with our biochemistry...

Does this mean you've successfully blocked all data-harvesting, so they're just serving up generic ads? I very much doubt that, but it's possible I've limited how much of it they use for building my timeline. Yay? Also, what is a/s/l? When I tried looking it up, it seems to mean American Sign Langu...

It'll probably be very good, but honestly my knee-jerk reaction is that the absolute last thing the world needs right now is to give an insurgent imperialist the antihero treatment.

Speaking of Meta, for all the (highly credible) talk about the shady tricks they pull to hoover up as much of your personal data as they can get, based on the suggested posts it shows me, Facebook believes I'm really into classic cars, car repair, country living, and farming. All the info they have ...

I know AI is going to kill us all and everything, but at least it will entertain us on the way out (no I don't know that the origin story is really what it says it is):

It’s very silly

It can't possibly be legal to veto individual characters in order to fundamentally alter a bill's semantic meaning though, right? I mean, what if you cross out everything except G-O-V-E-R-N-O-R---G-E-T-S---T-H-E---M-O-N-E-Y?

Does this affect committee assignments or have any practical consequences at all beyond barring her from hanging out in the clubhouse?

The prescience of that film makes me think they had an ex-SpaceX employee on staff...

Another possibility I’ve seen is it’s a cover story for the fact that they finally managed to break the software and don’t know how to fix it.

It’s stupid if he sees Twitter as a place to make money. If he feels like he’s already got enough cash and instead sees it as a place to *spend* money to spread his brand of propaganda and silence opposing voices, maybe it makes sense. Twitter isn’t the only platform putting up walls. I see claims t...

Just tried to refresh twitter, and it prompted me to log in instead. I did and it failed. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that part of me hopes it's just dead.

Here's an example of how things play out in nations with functioning immune systems:
Brazilian court votes to bar Bolsonaro from political office until 2030

Social media in the 20s: Here's a funny/shocking video, a "brain teaser" that's actually pretty easy, an obviously false assertion stated so confidently that it's hard to ignore, or a transparent appeal to nostalgia. Hey, now that I have your attention, I'd like to talk to you about Hitler...

Mr. Gigin seems to be awfully interested in things that are hard and masculine for a person living in a place where LGBTQ+ does not exist.

Russia experts help me out here; Prigozhin saying "this is not a coup" means that it's totally a coup, right?

(I just got the joke today)

Hm. I said earlier that I didn't think their identities would be shocking, and I guess that was true. But the fact remain that Santos did fight pretty hard to keep those identities secret, so in all likelihood there is a "there" there for anyone who has the ability and inclination to keep ...
