I wonder how much online conspiracy/qanon/unhinged bullshit is a result of men reading fewer and fewer books every year. Used to be these people would be stuck in an 800 page Tom Clancy novel, not bothering anyone. But now they don’t even do that anymore. They’re online talking to each other.

The Republicans hold majorities in both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court and hold the White House and they could pass basically whatever agenda they would care to enact, but they have instead decided on a unique strategy of letting someone unelected do crimes all over the federal government.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know.

Books are a total scam.
Every single word is already in the dictionary—they’re just selling them back to you in a different order.
