Good luck to all the ghosts out there trying to haunt skeptics
A tweet reading: *door in my house opens on its own* Me: fascinating. There must be quite a temperature differential between these two rooms to create that kind of pressure The ghost haunting me: (slamming it's head through the wall) I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you

I saw some form of this argument play out hundreds of times this year. Some people don't seem to understand that just being better than Trump is not enough.

The strategy is basically: "I'm *only* going to kill your dad, my opponent would also kill your mom. Please vote for me thanks."
A reddit argument about the messaging around Gaza during the US election. Some users argue that saying "we will help genocide less than the republicans" is not a winning strategy. Others argue that "more genocide" is obviously worse worse and at least Biden and Harris were tying.

Killing people is wrong but it doesn't magically become less wrong if you do it by denying lifesaving treatment to people in need.

Comrade Cunk spitting facts
Philomena Cunk stands with a Santa Claus statue, saying "the good children will get lots of presents and so, it turns out, will the bad children. In fact, the only ones who won't get very much are the poor children. That's because Santa judges a child's goodness based largely on parental income."

Netanyahu when literally anyone says anything about his country killing tens of thousands of children
Netanyahu screaming "It's antisemitic! It's antisemitic!" as a tired psychologist says, "yes Mr. Netanyahu, everything's antisemitic" A meme from the Simpsons episode Hurricane Neddy, with Bibi as Jay Sherman

Educate yourself #VaccinesWork
A doctor posts a tweet of her TikTok saying that vaccines don't cause autism. A random Twitter user responds "educate yourself, woman," to which she responds, "I did. Thanks. 4 years of college. 4 years of medical school. 3 years of pediatric residency. 13 years of clinical practice."
