Just saw somebody on YouTube comment "Tulips were basically the NFTs of the 1630s" and you know what, A+ analogy

Take me down to Poltergeist City where the ghosts all scream and the ghouls are pretty (scary)

➡️ 🔓 [OPEN ACCESS] 📹 [VIDEO ABSTRACT] "What Is Interesting About Conspiracy Theories?" by Melina Tsapos www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... This paper highlights how competing frameworks—normative cultural biases versus objective scientific inquiry—shape our understanding of rational belief.

Melina Tsapos told @sidebarcns.bsky.social co-host @kelseyreichmann.bsky.social the conflict in the Middle East, President Trump's reelection and the popularity of the "drain the swamp" message provided just the right conditions for Epstein conspiracies to explode. open.spotify.com/episode/4UK2...

Latest papers: Melina Tsapos addresses the gap in a unified explanation of what motivates conspiracy belief by introducing a framework that incorporates multiple dimensions of conspiracy belief in this open access paper doi.org/10.1080/0951... #philsky #philpsy

I'm rewatching the Chernobyl series on HBO, and the opening voiceover from Legasov resonates: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the mentalist?

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

are you telling me this scallion can rap

legolas hitting on a chick: so you have my number. gimli, out of nowhere: AND MY AXE

Slopaganda featured on NBC. The White House responded. I think Michał and I may be targets for assassination at this point 😂😳 www.nbcnews.com/video/how-sl...

It's almost like Vance is a double agent. So glad that I insinuated that he is a couch-fucker in a paper in Synthese

“i hope you meet jd vance” is about to become an actionable threat

Surprised JD Vance wasn't able to close a deal with the Iranians. His only skill is saying whatever people want to hear.

Very difficult to prepare slides for my talk about slopaganda given the last 48 hours

Eastern APA tenure track job interview, circa 1997

The usa can't even establish air supremacy over queens

"emotional labor" is particularly annoying because it has a specific, useful meaning that got swamped. an air stewardess smiling through a drunk passenger is emotional labor, going to your friend's birthday party isn't

Open-minded epistemic attitudes are associated with adherence to public health recommendations and protect against holding false beliefs. New paper with @jayvanbavel.bsky.social @markalfano.bsky.social @robert-m-ross.bsky.social accepted in @sjdm-tweets.bsky.social

I don't see why they don't just summon the catbus to transport oil around the strait of hormuz

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

On my way back to Sydney, after the war forced me to change plans. I'm reminded of this quote from Nietzsche: "We are pilgrims in this world: we have our homeland everywhere and nowhere: the same sun shines over us all. We are citizens of the world – the earth is our realm"

An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur? Instead of flying through Dubai back to Sydney today, I'm taking a little hiatus in Sweden and returning via Bangkok next week, inshallah.

The Pedo Wars were a series of armed conflicts fought by the United States in the early 21st century as a means to distract from the fact that their president was a pedo.

OPERATION MY DADDY DIDN'T LOVE ME

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Welcome to The Great Pedophile War of 2026, bitches.

My probably unpopular take: In the wake of the Dept of Ed ruling, DEI initiatives *should not* be rebuilt or re-institutionalized as they were before. Such initiatives overwhelmingly functioned as figleaves for elites to pretend to care about social justice while consolidating power for the wealthy.

“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

It's generous of Italy to have allowed JD Vance back into the country after he killed the Pope.

This is extremely offensive and inappropriate. I don’t care how popular it is in bars, dwarf-tossing is degrading and NOT OKAY. lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

Live your life so that: -Isaac Chotiner never asks for an interview -Ronan Farrow never investigates you -Tressie McMillan Cottom writes an OpEd about your myopia -Tanehisi Coates never has to come on your podcast to tell you how exactly you're a moron

Code brown

setting aside whether or not trump actually shit himself in that press conference (he did), what do you think the secret service code for the president shitting himself is? i assume it happens often enough with this president that they have one
