Yeah I’m a skeptic and enjoy debunking conspiracy theories so I’ve actually encountered this in the wild quite a bit.

It’s a bunch of people who think Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and They Live (1988) were documentaries with a little good old fashioned Illuminati nonsense mixed in for good measure. It’s as if someone watched part of a David Icke video once then tried to describe his beliefs to someone else from memory. It’s just such a painfully unoriginal conspiracy theory for people with TikTok attention spans.

    He's spent the last year alienating all of the United States' allies and in some cases, directly threatening their sovereignty. So of course nobody wants to get involved in his mess.

    Before anyone gets excited, Ron Johnson was part of the plot to submit fake electors for Michigan and Wisconsin to overturn the 2020 election. He's also said he's unsure about running for reelection in 2028, so any political fallout for this minor little "principled stance" doesn't matter. He'll just retire if it comes to that.

    South Park: Snow Day! I loved Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole, so I really wanted to like Snow Day, but unfortunately it's just not very good. I wouldn't even call it bad, it's just middling in almost every way. Now to add insult to injury, it was also pretty short.

    If they make another South Park game it won't be a day one purchase for me, I've learned my lesson. I can wait for a sale.

    I remember reading an old interview back in the day with John C. McGinley where he explained the reason his character hates Hugh Jackman is that the show's creator, Bill Lawrence, didn't want to punch down. So he chose the most talented actor he could think of, Hugh Jackman.

    So let me get this straight, the companies that raised their prices based on Trump's tariffs get to apply for a refund with no requirement to lower prices and pass that refund on to the consumers who actually had to pony up the money at the 'cash register' every day. Once again, corporations get an undeserved bailout while the American consumer gets shafted. Typical.

    Well, we know that's a lie. It could not possibly be more obvious when Donald Trump is not the author of a post. There are countless examples of posts that were clearly not written by the Very Stable Genius.

    Remember in 8 Mile when Cheddar Bob shot himself in the leg with his own gun? Same thing. The only difference here is Cheddar Bob was a lovable idiot instead of a fascist.
