The Skeptic
patron saint: Ed Zitron
It's oversold, it's losing staggering amounts of money, and the harms are arriving faster than the value. You've done the math on the unit economics and it doesn't close. You are loud about this, prolific about this, and you suspect history will vindicate you.

Ah this brings back memories.

Get your war on comic. First panel many on phone looking a monitor. "Oh my God, this War on Terrorism is gonna rule! I can't wait until the war is over and there's no more terrorism!" Second panel another man on phone: "I know! Remember when the U.S. had a drug problem, and then we declared a War on Drugs and now you can't buy drugs anymore? It'll be just like that!" Third panel first man on phone: "Right! God, if only the War On Drugs hadn't been so effective! I could really use some fucking marijuana right now!"

Missing these two nitwits but having a fantastic time feeding my brain and soul at #SSP2025

Two cats laying on a light grey sofa. A larger black is laying down with his feet facing the other and his head is turned back towards the camera worried that I've caught him peacefully coexisting with his brother. Opposite him is a grey cat laying on his side looking off into the distance without a single thought in his tiny little brain.
