Yawn.

Do you not find this tiresome?

Does WP not find this?

Does WP not find this... what?

Their analysis on-point. We do in fact live in a post-truth society, both because being morally right is more important then being factually correct, as well as because the conjecture of someone who complains about things on the internet is more reliable than the fact-checked and peer-reviewed research produced by knowledgeable experts.

The process of selecting and vetting candidates for political office has become something resembling the audition process for a reality TV show. There should be no surprise that the two processes produce similar results.

You just want to get into AOC's pants

I confess to being a heterosexual male.

The bigger question is when will a video of AOC get leaked to the internet showing he in all her naked glory enjoying an evening of sex with a few good friends.

Oh, come on. I was eating. :barf:

AOC calls America garbage. But when Trump suggests we need to MAGA, he's a racist.

Now all I can think about is what unicorn meat tastes like.

I'll bet it'd totally be a disappointment. Probably tastes just like horse.

Well, unicorns might be a little difficult to taste test but when the Socialists take over you will get an opportunity to eat every animal in the zoo.

At least she's not vague or ambiguous:

Ocasio-Cortez: 'Capitalism is irredeemable'

I'm scared, all right. Remind me again which economic model has resulted in the greatest prosperity in history, and produced societies in which the poorest members enjoy a higher standard of living than the richest of their ancestors 200 years prior?

Well, our educational system has dumbed down our people enough that this one can be believed by more than half the "Millennials"; I wouldn't be surprised to find that Soros has found a new route to destroy the USA.

I'm not sure that the dumbing down of the educational system is necessarily to blame.

We live in an age in which it's become a lot easier for people to loudly say dumb things, and also a lot easier for people to selectively listen only to things which reinforce their beliefs, and completely avoid contrasting opinions, regardless of the truth.

Basically, the same phenomenon which has seen the concurrent explosion of the anti-vax movement There have always been people who have denied medicine and believed that a secret cabal consisting of the government and "big pharma" were trying to make them sick, preferring crystals and faith-healing instead.The difference is that they now have the ability to spread their beliefs and appear to be legitimate, thus gaining mainstream acceptance.


Good article from the BBC a few years back about How liars create the illusion of truth.

Thanks for the link to the story, Joe.

Portland is often thought of as a hipster city and I tend to look for the humor in their activities when I can. While things here involved someone at MIT, it could have easily been a PDX thing.

Can't believe that you love the oxford comma but write in split infinitives. My English teacher would be rolling in her grave if I did it.

That's why she was a teacher and not in the private sector.
