Last Feb I casually posted this neck stretch on Instagram (that I thought everyone knew 🤷♀️) and it blew up in a way I couldn’t imagine. It’s now been viewed over 8 million times 🫣😬🤣 and has brought so many wonderful people into my world.
So give it a go, it’s a pretty lovely stretch. (Though it’s not actually magic, it’s just an up…

This happened in Montana earlier today.
I was on my way to a job interview when I got pulled over by a police officer. Just to set the scene—I’m Native American, and my friend riding with me is Black.
As fate would have it, both of my brake lights decided to stop working at the exact same time. Naturally, as the officer approached, I start…

22 subscribers doesn't seem like a lot but if 22 people came to my house and asked me what I'm writing about it would be like crazy so it's a lot.
Great essay. I would be interested in your thoughts about debating conspiracy theorists who will endlessly go down the confetti road.
Do you think it's even possible to convince someone who thinks in irrational, self-serving plausibility of the stupidity of their claims or is it best to simply identify this form of thinking and move on.
I wish I had an answer, I'm utterly baffled by some of the conspiracy theories folks regularly entertain. I split theorists into two groups: grifters and true believers. For grifters, I know it's all an act, and so there's no real point except maybe cornering them in front of an audience. For true believers, I can't figure out how they get there, and so I have no idea how to get them out.
I'm excited to try out the miasma clearing protocol with a conspiracy theorist though, we'll see if the chance presents itself.
Here's a rare flat earth interlocutor who's actually acting in good faith, and addresses substantive points rather than making arguments from authority. The flat earther's position rapidly degenerates into ridiculousness like not knowing how parallel lines work.
I watched that! It's easy being a backseat driver but I told Brandon that he missed a golden opportunity by not pressing on the parallel lines point.
Told Brandon you mean? Mark is the flat-earther.
Agreed, I found that frustrating too. I assume Brandon was trying to avoid upsetting Mark so as to maintain credibility as a good-faith interlocutor in the future, since focusing too hard on a specific point tends to feel adversarial.
The idiots are about to gloriously tank the tourism industry. Do these people even know what they are doing?
Axios: U.S. tourists and permanent residents from around the world have been arrested, detained and deported under the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
When idiots are in charge….
“It is fair to assume that Russia and China have been monitoring all the USG principals’ discussions on every aspect of national security policy if they are carried out in Signal and WhatsApp groups”— Yaroslav Trofimov,Chief Foreign-Affairs Correspondent of The Wall Street Journal.
It is a legitimate point that the idiocy of Steve Witkoff’s recent comments on Ukraine stems from his complete lack of knowledge about Ukraine, or Russia, or politics in general.
After all, Witkoff has spent his entire life in real estate investment — he is simply unqualified for the role Trump has assigned to him.
True, but I think the issue runs deeper.
There is little reason to believe that Witkoff’s remarks would have substantively been any different even if he were more informed about the are…
