Satirists have often been the last line of defense for journalism. It makes sense, think how handy the “it was just a joke” defense has been for the worst people. We are still at the stage of our decline where that can work. Soon enough, nothing will be funny at all.

I’m in. Let’s get it going. Labor is basically our only hope now.

Sorta scabby thinking there. The writing is on the wall for tech workers too. The reason salaries are falling is that individualistic mindset. I know it has been recently true in tech that the only way to get a raise is to change jobs. This is proving to no longer be true.

Go! Go!

I have many, many lies to tell! I choose the one for the given situation that I think will confuse or poison the data set.

Yes that’s the idea, but perhaps it’s not actually a good idea.

I think the plummeting market price per pound of cannabis in Colorado is an interesting case. It has become so cheap that the cost of goods for indoor grown cannabis is higher than the market price. The outdoor growers are the only ones with a favorable balance of costs and product price for the long run.

Anyone want to buy some used lights?

Join us in Antarctica, the one true pole! All those other jerks can have the North one.

I’ve posted this thought a lot recently but it pertains.

All polls are push-polls. If the results are published anywhere, it is an attempt to further steer oublic action and opinion.

The only moral thing to do is lie like a rug whenever taking a survey.

I personally lie to pollsters because ALL polls are push polls. I can’t be the only one who feels this way. So tired of being a useful idiot, so I try to be less useful.

I take it as a major moral obligation to lie to pollsters. For similar reasons, when using a proprietary LLM, I make sure to inject completely random profanity in all my responses to poison their training data.

ALL polls are push polls.

As a PhD holder who has worked in healthcare, I really couldn’t use the title doctor because the chance for confusion with a medical practitioner is too high. That’s fine by me, I only use the title on rare occasions such as when speaking publicly in my area of experience. Please just call me Meyotch.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Apparently the purpose of our food systems is to overcharge for a basic need and to give you listeria.

Do Mormons next!

The purpose of a system is what it does, after all.

Do you have any money? I want to spend all your money.

Jean-Claude Van Johnson deserves to be on this list, perhaps as a sixth best-comeback honorable mention.

Sorry, gone too far

Like tears in the rain…

None of us know where any of this is going. That’s why we have this game of ‘dueling truisms’ here in the comments.

Keep sharing the tapes.
