We may detect bullshit, yet inevitably face Brandolini's Law: “The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than the energy expended to produce it.” An effect magnified by bullshit amplifiers within corporate media, and on social media platforms.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

This man was president of Harvard and influential advisor on the national economy. He serially coerced mentees into sex and complains about career consequences for ”hitting on women” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
![“I’m trying to figure why [the] American elite think if u murder your baby by beating and abandonment it must be irrelevant to your admission to Harvard,” Summers wrote to Epstein in a 2017 email. “But hit on a few women 10 years ago and can’t work at a network or think tank. DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT.”
At the time, Harvard University was wrestling with an admissions debate after a formerly incarcerated woman’s admission to a PhD program. Summers, a former president of the university who lost his position in a scandal after making sexist comments about female academics, went on to say in the email to Epstein: “I observed that half of the IQ In [the] world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51 percent of population.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mv2izgsrqqmrg7rrob5zqily/bafkreigw5qkahbjtybyy5ctflxe77jtoyhdqn243cshd6yzean4izltqky@jpeg)
