This headline should read “Conspiracy Theorists AND Rational Observers of History…” (the article does address this a bit but I think fumbles the Solomon section - he’s not wearing a white hat) Conspiracy Theorists Think Trump’s Speech Paves the Path to the Insurrection Act - WIRED

A Wired headline from a push notification reading “Conspiracy Theorists think Trump’s speech paves the path to the Insurrection Act”

Matt Terry@mattterry· Jul 8

This notification made me lol. We really do live in a terrible timeline

A Time magazine push notification announcing that “Trump orders U.S. to cut all trade with Spain”.

@thorbenson.bsky.social and @scalzi.com, are you guys waking up together??

A screenshot of nearly identical posts within the same minute from Thor Benson and John Scalzi where each has taken a rosy-colored, dawn picture of the early morning light filtering through leafy tree cover

I’m not an osprey architect but this looks deeply precarious

An osprey nest on top of a manmade (osprey) platform that is tilting significantly off of one side. Momma osprey is in residence and seems unconcerned. Dad is hunting nearby/avoiding the collapse

Update:

The sign from the post below now has a large, hand written “NO” in front of “No Kings Rally Parking”…

Matt Terry@mattterry· Mar 27

This sign is going to cause absolute *chaos* tomorrow

A Church sandwich board sign posted at the end of their driveway, directly across the Town Green from where tomorrow’s No Kings Rally will take place. In huge letters, the sign reads “No Kings Rally Parking” and in super small print below it continues “The parking lot is reserved for church events”. Everyone involved is going to be furious with this sign. I expect it will be swiftly removed someone will get a lesson in semantics and copy editing 😂

Screenshot of a summary of 2025 ICE appropriations of $170 Billion. That’s a lot of money to conjure up some goons!!

Spelling Bee has entered the pizza place…

Today’s NYT Spelling Bee includes the word, “grooming”, which for conspiracy theorists, is a rampant practice in our society rather than the truth, which is that it’s the 2020’s version of the Satanic Panic from the 80’s…must he terrible to have an overdeveloped fear center in your gray matter, ruining your life and those of possibly countless people impacted by your inability to rationalize threat from fantasy. Anyway, play Spelling Bee it’s super fun!!

If you think he’s just going to *let* us elect a Democratic Congress next year, I’ve got a Reichstag to sell you…

The German Reichstag building engulfed in flames in February, 1933. An event that Hitler used as a pretext to consolidate power and assume dictatorial powers by March of 1933. Photo in black and white

@katmabu.bsky.social Running for congress in an authoritarian dystopia!! How it started How it’s going

This exact same joke by three different posters over the last ten months…

Let’s get building!! #deathstar #lego

The newly issued and delivered Lego Death Star, with one side of the box showing the build (which is a cross-section of the battle-station full of scenes from the movies, operational rooms, a hanger with an imperial transport, etc.). A second side of the box is an artist’s rendering of the fully-operational Death Star floating over a planet with a sun in the background providing shadowing. The box weighs 40 pounds and contains over 9,000 pieces. Game on!!

Reading it right now!!

A kindle page from John Scalzi’s latest book, a Shattering Peace (from the Old Man’s War series). The start of Chapter Sixteen in a truly excellent read!!

I’m not an economist, but this seems bad…

Your email is very important to me…

For sale: nightmare fuel

An advertisement for a Sphynx cat puppet that’s “true to breed” (e.g., appears to be hairless, has long limbs, extra large (bat-like) ears and piercing blue eyes). With a moveable mouth, you can make it plead for a merciful death!! 😂

I’m sure they’re already workshopping awful, dehumanizing names for this place…

Sometimes, I wake up and think it might all have a been a terrible, dystopian dream. And then I zoom in…

Skeet juxtaposition level: impossible

The first skeet is from one poster talking about how much he doesn’t like Star Wars (and how surprised people are) and the skeet immediately below from a second user features a propaganda-style poster where Boba Fett is ordering us to have a great Wednesday!!

Not even CEOs, more like Lumberghs…

Bill Lumbergh from the movie Office Space, classic middle manager stereotype dressed in a contrast collar blue dress shirt, yellow and red dotted tie, red suspenders, glasses and an infuriatingly stupid expression on his face - likely poised to say something passive-aggressive that will ruin the listener’s weekend

Hell or high water, I’ve read every day since December 27, 2019. It’s been my oasis, motivation, adventure and joy. Five and a half years of countless characters, worlds and words. I strongly recommend it! 3,000 days, here I come (in about 2 and 3/4 years 😂). See you then.
