A visit to the Elephant Graveyard of West Bloomfield, Michigan: unsold Cybertrucks piling up in the parking lot of a closed Bed, Bath, & Beyond about a mile south of the Tesla dealer. May 30, 2025. #Tesla #Michigan #cybertruck

Watching a courtroom drama, booing and cheering and throwing peanuts at the screen like I'm at a sports bar Standing up and clapping when I know Juror No. 2 is about to pivot to some 12 Angry Men territory

The men sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison: - A tattoo artist seeking asylum who entered legally. - A teen who got a tattoo in Dallas because he thought it looked cool. - A 26-year-old whose tattoos his wife says are unrelated to a gang. - A barber whose family says he has no gang ties.

People DO believe these seemingly contradictory things simultaneously. The unifying element is usually some antisemitic conspiracy theory, or the same conspiracy theory veiled behind thin euphemisms like “globalists.” They insist “they” are trying to destroy “the West” for ?????? reasons
