If a man charge a man with sorcery, and cannot prove it, he who is charged with sorcery shall go to the river, into the river he shall throw himself and if the river overcome him, his accuser shall take to himself his house (estate).

When I was in grad school the academic job market was already awful and we'd discuss survival strategies. One such strategy was "Have a position so thoroughly refuted in the discipline that you're the only person who still espouses it - that way you're the [thing] guy and will always be notable."

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.

I used to think it was like a funny joke in The Sims that in their fictional world you improve your "Charisma" score by going up to a mirror and practicing Hitler gestures but people apparently are trying to apply this technique IRL.

Tea Party organizers wrote guides distributed through Google Groups on how exactly to interrupt town halls and get irate. It only took a few people acting inappropriately to get the crowd moving. They moved clips quickly to outlets. These people were coached and encouraged and eventually funded!

Someone IRL with Fox Mulder's views and habits and professional situation today IRL would be such a complete intolerable asshole that you have to conclude that he as a character basically has the disposition of a saint.

It's seems insane that you can run out of matches. Once you buy one of those huge boxes of matches you should have infinite matches, or at least a non-zero chance of finding a match lying around if you look hard enough.

Commuting about an hour earlier than I normally do and it's really really alarming how reflexive and mentally absent people are while driving.

Before we do anything rash like decide between charging 40$ or 50$ in shipping fees on a 10,000$ order, let's make sure we all say every possible permutation of every possible grammatical sentence of English about this topic.

Something interesting to ponder is whether the interior of this building smelled more like cigarettes when it was the French pavilion in at Expo 67 or after it was turned into a casino.

No shade on Rick P. but I think having Nixon as the initial lens through which I encountered the set of mental reflexes driving American conservatism mislead me into thinking there was a lot more interesting neurotic complexity going on at the top than there usually is.

When people tell me my posture is weird I've been saying "That's what they told Glenn Gould and look what he accomplished." But I've noticed that lately I've been getting a lot of shooting pains in my back so I looked it up and apparently he wound up with debilitating spinal issues. So what the fuck

It's so weird that writing was invented so much earlier in history than reading. For like 1500 years people were just going around marking stuff down but nobody ever knew what any of it meant until much later. It just goes to show how mysterious the mind really is...

Unfortunately I didn't get the whole thing (shooting from a moving bus in traffic is difficult) but "THIRSTI" with the "Brazzers" plate frame is probably the most notable one I've seen in person.

Spotted on the post-truth Facebook today by someone in the middle of insisting that vaccines are great except when they're made by pharma companies: "Could you imagine how safe cigarettes would be if it wasn't ran by big tobacco?" 7 am and I already think that's quite enough internet for one day.

It should be illegal to announce you're showing Draughtsman's Contract two months in advance. This should be something I find out about that week, not something I have to wait until March for.
