Like, from my perspective I had extra information that confirmed my delusion. I couldn't believe my partner remained unconvinced. He calmed me down by pointing out that Indy wasn't barking, which we've found to be a very good calming method for me

I get hypnagogic hallucinations a lot. Last night it was someone phasing thru the bedroom wall so I woke up my partner, who said I was dreaming, go back to sleep. Later I woke up again w the same vision & yelled AHA I WAS RIGHT. I think that's why I'm good at understanding conspiracy theorists.

just watched The Bear season 3 episode 8 (“ice chips”) and I am emotionally destroyed. I assume this episode will go alongside Pixar’s Brave as a masterpiece that will go unappreciated because men don’t want to and can’t (due to society) understand

So you find it probable that a podcast lied that Neil Gaiman told them he finger banged his 20-year old nanny the day he met her, and for a week he has let that lie go completely unchallenged?

I don't get the issue. Are you saying you think Gaiman didn't really tell the podcast that he finger banged the nanny in the bathtub?

The nuttiest thing about the Neil Gaiman thing is that his defense was "I didn't sexually assault anyone! I, a 60-year old rich and powerful man, simply finger banged my children's 20-year old nanny in a bathtub within hours of first meeting her. Consensually! This is normal behavior."

Scientists already know that abortion restrictions and bans increase the number of dead women, but a new study on Texas shows that it also increases the number of dead babies. So that's very cool, very pro-life 🧪 skepchick.org/2024/07/texa...

Also the recall's original reason was that the mayor fired the police chief because he wouldn't discipline a cop who did a hit and run and then later accidentally fired his gun in an elevator & then threw the evidence off the Bay Bridge www.ktvu.com/news/questio...

a funny thing happening in Oakland rn is that conservatives were trying to recall our mayor but they didn't actually have a reason, and then the FBI raided her house which gives them a great reason but now THEY'RE being investigated for ethics violations, too

Ever since the disastrous Biden Trump debate last week, I've seen a lot of references to the first televised presidential debate. Did JFK win the presidency because he looked better than Nixon on TV? Let's look at the science! 🧪 skepchick.org/2024/07/pres...

whether biden steps down or not I’m excited for December of 2024 when I will be told that progressives are the reason Trump won. lt will either be bc biden was FORCED to step down and they didn’t have enough time to replace him or else that my disappointment in him stopped people from voting.
