Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996

Dafuq is going on in Bolivia now?
Uh, this. And it’s terrible: Bolivia is in the clutches of fanatical christofascists. From the obvious military coup, to that creepy “cross” hand gesture they made when swearing in their sham government, to Jeanine Añez’s rabid declarations that indigenous people’s … Continue reading

Jordan Peterson has a…new book???
Apparently so. And oh gawd, it’s pathetic: Here’s its Amazon listing. So far, the reviews are red-hot: Oh dear, looks like Mikhaila Peterson (JordyPete’s daughter) found it and says it’s not hers. Figures, doesn’t it, that scammers would latch on … Continue reading

Not a good look, to say the least.
Sorry, Trudizzle, but this is bad. And the Rational National breaks it all down: Once is a lapse; twice is suspicious; thrice is a pattern. Any which way, this is not a good look. Especially not when you consider his … Continue reading

How could Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail?

The long silence of the atomic veterans
They were human guinea pigs in early nuclear weapons tests, and they were sworn to secrecy as long ago as the 1950s. There aren’t many of them left. But they are talking… They were threatened with treason charges, $10,000 fines, … Continue reading
