Shortly before the election my cat escaped the house and got her belly covered in sticky mud which then picked up all sorts of junk. During the extremely needed bath, which she hates, I lost control of her head and she managed to latch onto my arm and break the skin with two teeth. It looked kinda rough, so I figured I should get a tetanus shot in the morning. By the time the clinic opened I was in some of the worst pain of my life, the swollen bite looked like a tennis ball was embedded inside my arm, and the selling was pressing constantly against my ulnar nerve. The pressure was so intense that I could feel gravity pulling on my skin and fingers. Anyway, that's a big part of why this is late.

always fascinated by the idea that "a balanced discussion" means "treating all arguments as equally plausible regardless of evidence" and not, ykno, "treating all pieces of evidence with the same level of scrutiny."
-
“Effectively interviewed himself to make himself seem like an expert” Me in the shower winning fake arguments.
-
I've always wondered if these charlatans have quiet moments of panic? We all have them, surely. Those moments where you're lying awake and worried about the future. Do they ever pause and go "WHAT AM I DOING?!"
-
the part where sungenis says "moses wrote genesis chapter 1 therefore everything happened exactly as was written" is so damn wild to me. imagine if there were people 2000 years in the future who genuinely thought the events of Homestuck actually happened
-
"earth?" "gay." "moon?" "lesbian." ... "neptune?" "straight trans man, married to the sea." that ending bit was 100/10 omg

Here's a rule of thumb: if you have to say "There's nothing about the Jews in this film" you've got a problem.
-
"We have no chance against the forces areayed against us." What, gravity and electromagnetism?
-
"All positions in an argument should be treated equally." My brother in Christ, the other guy sniffs glue and is wearing an SS Uniform. He lost Frame 1.

conspiracy theorist SWEATING trying not to say “the Jews”
-
broke: trying to understand the hierarchy of the planets in their celestial spheres woke: trying to understand the sexualities and horniness of the planets
-
Someone once told Rick Delano “that’s your reality, dude” and it’s kept him up at night ever since.
-
Dan Olson confidently listing the sexualities of the planets is identical energy to Mike's Mic categorising things as Wednesday. Both of them are incredibly accurate
-
interviewing yourself while talking about someone interviewing themselves has to be endlessly amusing
-
"Galileo was wrong, the church was right" sounds like a book you'd find as a gag in a GTA game

I don’t know much about science but I’m a firm believer that my puppy, Benji, is the center of my universe. You could say I’m a Benjiocentrist.

17:25 After another rewatch of this video, it only just really hit me how funny this claim is. "The highest grossing-" Wow! "-single screen opening-" Hm. "-in America-" okay. "-that weekend." Did, like, six people come to see it?
-
“Are we significant or just a cosmic accident?” These assertions aren’t mutually exclusive. We can easily be both.
-
"It's not about geocentrism, it's about cosmology" "This book isn't about jazz, it's about music"

I think the funniest thing about that guy’s hang up with being told “dude, that’s your reality” is that whoever said that obviously didn’t literally mean he was living in a different universe or something like he clearly has interpreted. I mean, I can clearly imagine this interaction. You meet some crazy guy who thinks the earth is the center of the universe, and realize arguing is pointless so u just leave it. “Dude, That’s your reality” was clearly just said the same way one might say “let’s agree to disagree” or “I’m not going to argue with you about this”

Isn't this the same "documentary" that also tricked Kate Mulgrew into narrating because they thought getting a Star Trek Captain to do the voice would give it more weight, and she flat out says "they told me I was going to be narrating a Sci-Fi film".
