Maybe a homeless man pointed a cat toy at the plane and blinded the pilot.

Epstein Island was sold to the US by Denmark, so there's that parallel, as well.

Speaking of worms eating brains, there was this experiment where scientists trained a worm to find food. Then, they killed the worm, blended its brains or brain equivalent, and fed it to other worms. When those worms were put into the same environment, they already knew how to find the food, apparently having learned it from eating the other worm's brains.

So, it's possible that this worm ate some of RFK Jr's brains and that the worm went insane as a result.

The idea that a worm could eat a small portion of RFK Jr's brain and cause him significant mental impairment is laughable. He wasn't using his brain in the first place. Certainly the worm got the worst of the exchange.

Become a crab. Become an anteater.

I would call those normal footprints, not inverse footprints. We call both additive and subtractive marks left by feet "footprints."

If you were to step in ink, and then step onto paper, that would create a footprint.

If you were to step in drying concrete, that would also create a footprint.

I'm reminded of this possibly apocryphal story about Picasso:

[A woman] approached Picasso in a restaurant, asked him to scribble something on a napkin, and said she would be happy to pay whatever he felt it was worth. Picasso complied and then said, “That will be $10,000.”

“But you did that in thirty seconds,” the astonished woman replied.

“No,” Picasso said. “It has taken me forty years to do that.”

To me, this story is about the paradox of mastering a craft. If a person has spent decades mastering an art or a craft, then when an amateur sees them working, it looks like it's trivial. The amateur thinks, "Anybody could do that. I could do that, no problem. It's easy." Of course, it only looks easy because it's the master doing it.

It's simple racism and Nazi tactics. His final words in the video summed it up nicely. "Yesterday was... I don't feel like it's freedom."

How long until we get to the point where we're hiding persecuted people in our attics?

The question was what would MLK Jr think if he were alive, but he's a ghost, so they only get what he thinks if he's dead. For all we know, everybody who becomes a ghost simply becomes obsessed with technology.

You know the paradox of tolerance? The idea that if you believe in tolerance, then you have to be intolerant of intolerance.

I think this general concept is applicable in many areas. Like, it makes sense to be nonviolent except in preventing more violence.

And in this case, we should all make a giant conspiracy to destroy the places where conspiracy theorists talk to each other.

Now that I think about it, why does Trump tend to praise countries like Russia and China, when they haven't even given him any Nobel Prizes?

Since this has been cross-posted, I thought it would be good to summarize the other conversations:

In other news, Oxfam finds that water is wet, the sky is blue, the Pope is Catholic, and that bears shit in the woods.

The article says that his condition was stabilized, so he wasn't murdered.

Also, according to this article, the retirement info you have can't be right.

Meyer has been judge in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 for 12 years. He’s in the final year of his second six-year term. Meyer, a Democrat, announced in December that he didn’t plan to run for a third term in 2026.

The election they're talking about is in 2026, which makes sense, because if his term was up in January, it would be strange for an elected official to announce his retirement in December.

Also, I obviously don't want to make any conclusions about motives, but I can't help but see the word "Democrat" in that quote from above.

 

Sometimes, I comment on a post, only to see the entire post deleted, presumably by the post's author as there's nothing in the modlog. I suspect a lot of users find that behavior annoying. But then afterwards, all information on the post seems to be hidden, as if it never existed.

Ideally, I'd like to at least be able to interact with something on the post to block the author or report the behavior to the mods. But even just having the post author's username would allow me to block them.
