en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulac...
In his essay The Precession of the Simulacra, Baudrillard recalls a tale from a short story by Borges in which a king requests a map (i.e., a symbol) to be produced so detailed that it ends up coming into one-to-one correspondence with the territory (i.e., the real area the map is to represent); this references the philosophical concept of map–territory relation. Baudrillard argues that in the postmodern epoch, the territory ceases to exist, and there is nothing left but the map; or indeed, the very concepts of the map and the territory have become indistinguishable, the distinction which once existed between them having been erased.

The last 2 (3?) seasons had lots of messes, but the scene when the guy knees Theon in his non-existent genitals is the worst. That would still hurt!

This is why it was so frustrating when people lionized her for commenting about not cooperating with ICE, when her office actually has no place to do so.

But it's not a matter of opinion; it's a matter of rights, in which case it's the minority that should be the primary consideration.

Did Trump get beat up too much as a kid, or not enough? Because that face could tell two very different stories.

You might, but you probably shouldn't, because that shit is condescending af.

I once had a FedEx delivery person forge my signature rather than knock on the door and wait. I was at home at the time.
