You’ll be hearing from my lawyer. Not to threaten litigation or anything. Just, you know, to commiserate with you about my behavior.

My personal BlueSky etiquette:
1. If I make up a fake social media post, it will be in dark mode.
2. If I make up a fake pleading, it won't be in dark mode because that would look silly. Look for context clues.
3. I will quote skeet Mitch, he's a big boy. He can handle it.

Some BlueSky etiquette that I do my best to follow:
1. When possible, I link to articles and primary sources;
2. When possible, I link to materials that do not have a paywall;
3. When possible, I react to insulting inflammatory responses by blocking; and
4. I reply rather than quote posting.

Lots of new followers coming in so I am going to re-up this.
I am not a reliable source of information. I will link to the pleading if it is real.
I am barely a reliable source of entertainment.

Apparently it may be false and defamatory to suggest that Kash Patel’s girlfriend is an undercover spy being utilized by a foreign government to gain intel.

Wife: Did you tell our daughter that the moral of Phantom of the Opera is you should always pick the handsome rich minor noble over the ugly music teacher who lives in a basement?
Me: I didn’t not tell her that. But I also said Roaul can sing too so that’s a wash, and no known murders/kidnappings.

Every time I see a Patrick Tomlinson skeet, I think "that's the dude who insisted that Donald Trump filing a notice of appeal doesn't mean he's appealing, it just means he might file an appeal later."

I haven't seen any evidence that Ken had e-mail correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. But if he did, I imagine it would look something like this.

I too get all of my research project ideas from scrolling 4chan.
So that's the stuff I've found so far on how Nathan may or may not have tried (successfully or not, I do not know) to get Jeffrey - who is, I must remind everyone, thanked in Nathan's book The Viral Storm - to fund his research by exploring mind controlling women using chemicals produced by STDs

10yo: Why do some of the songs in the 2nd Act of Phantom of the Opera sound like songs in the 1st Act?
Me: You see sweetie, composers are inherently lazy, & they rarely have enough good ideas to fill up 1 act. They can solve both problems by doing less work and not filling the show with more fluff.

Ninth Circuit: Okay, this guy is a vexatious litigant, but you narrow the subject matters in which he constitutes a vexatious litigant. Maybe he will bring non-vexatious lawsuits against people other than the Supreme Court and 6 foot tall imaginary rabbits.

Are we just going to ignore that people living in Las Vegas were called “Vegans” (presumably pronounced differently tho) in the 1950s?
The coverage in the next day’s Las Vegas Review-Journal was just a little sensational, especially given how little information the Atomic Energy Commission actually released about the test itself.
![The front page of the January 28, 1951, edition of the Las Vegas Review-Journal featuring the large banner headline "VEGANS 'ATOM-IZED.'" A sub-headline reads "Thousands See, Feel Effects of Detonation." The last sentence of this article disingenuously reports, "The tests are being held in a remote desert country [sic] in southern Nevada at least 50 miles from any habitation."
A second article is headlined, "Sky Lights Up—Doors Slam, But Life Goes On."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iwbebt5r65c67xl5vy5iviwj/bafkreifkidnayoshyvag4bkeap2abi6l5w5fpszvvvw45at5d6jvc5fkme@jpeg)
