Screenshot of a post saying:

"He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius."

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Screenshot composition from the movie The Big Short where they are talking to one another about the Florida realtors who just told them about all of the fraudulent loans they push: one character asks "I don't get it. Why are they confessing?, second character says "they are not confessing", third says "they are bragging"

It's not wolves but this is one my favorite pieces of art, it brings me so much joy

It was never about freedom of speech it was about power, and that they have it and we don't. Wilhoit's Law and all that

Wilhoit: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
