Pizza by the slice.

 Recently, I was cruising the interwebs, when I came across a YouTube video on the Saw franchise.

The video was very good, intelligently put together, talking about not the movie itself, but mostly on the public views of it. It referenced Paradise Lost, the movie Se7en, Reservoir Dogs, and views of crime and punishment on both the left and right. It was fascinating.

As one is want to do, when one finds a creator whose works we like, I started looking further into their body of work.

At the time of this writing, their newest video is on conspiracy theories, and conspiracy theorists.

In the first 20 or so minutes of the video they start talking about the events of January 6th, 2021 in Washington, D.C. They talk about The birther conspiracy, QAnon, and Pizzagate, disregarding them all as fluff and nonsense. And they all were.

I mean look at the last one, Pizzagate, the notion that a powerful cabal of billionaires were trafficking in adults and children for sexual exploitation and snuff for sale. Nonsense, the pizza parlor doesn't have a basement. I mean, this is from a year ago at this point, and we know in 2026 that things like this DO NOT HAPPEN!

Oh, before I forget, can someone please tell me where I can get the latest news about that Epstein guy? I wanted to read some his file, but I can't find much... it seems, incomplete...

This one of the biggest problems at the core of the human experience. It's this idea that we all share that if I don't share your belief, it must be wrong. Nerds call it Confirmation Bias, but what do nerds know?

I want to take a moment and circle back a bit, I want to be clear. Pizzagate, a totally made up conspiracy theory, pushed by Trump, is in no way related to the Epstein Files, which Trump is totally not in.

As I said yesterday, I am not here to help or save you. I am no hero.

Honestly, none of you are worth the effort.

Can you read the writing on the wall?

​I want to take a moment to talk about myself and something said about my faith that makes no sense once you look at it closely. But to talk about it, I need to set the stage, and to do that, I have to start somewhere else. So, I ask for your indulgence as I take you on a journey. ​Firstly, I am a long-term follower of the ancient Norse pantheon, and this post is targeted mostly at my "brothers in faith," but I think the rest of the class might want to follow along as well. I don’t think that they are the only game in town, but they suit me and my style well. ​Now, most of us are familiar with the Runes, at least in passing. I don’t think I need to—at least not in this group—drone on about their use, their meaning, or how they are written. In anthropological terms, the Runes are what is known as a "sacred alphabet": a form of writing believed to be handed down from on high, and sometimes, not by the gods' choice. ​The Runes are not unique in this respect; there ...

Under the hood.

 When I was in high school, my dad kinda... made me buy a pair of broken down Volvos. The theory was sound, they were the same model and year range, so Frankensteining them together is kinda obvious. This plan failed. I was 14. I was a nerd, so for safety reasons I did not take shop class with the Jocks. This was before the internet, so no YouTube. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. This was compounded by the fact that in the 2 years between the models they had rearranged shit. Years later, I ended up taking a professional mechanic's course. I learned a lot about how the engine worked, not a specific model, more the theory behind it. What makes it work. You need that kind of knowledge to fix a car... or really any system. Computers, engines, sewers... Families... Now, I know that no two families are identical, nor should they be, but there are common themes. Relationships serve two roles, reproduction and companionship. Some are better at one than the other, and some...

Smokescreen.

 Sometime in the early 1340s, there was a massive volcanic eruption. No written record of the event is known to survive, the exact date and location are unknown. Technically, we are not even sure if it was a single eruption, or multiple ones. We do know it happened, and that it was likely somewhere near the equator. What evidence we have for this event is in physical evidence left behind; tree ring data shows a cooling between about 1343-1345ish, ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica show that it was massive as well as showing it was near the equator because the amount of ashfall shows they are about equal in amount, with a little less in Antarctica, thus equator. Now, a forest gets cold and grows slowly, no one cares. But crops are plants too, and people do care about those, and the reduced sunlight stunted their growth as well. And places like Germany, France, and the British Isles started to show a marked downturn in yields. There were reserves in these places as well, but ...
