NEW: When Propecy Fails is one of the most famous social psychology books of all time, a look at a small group of UFO believers when the “spacemen” failed to land. I wrote about a new study from an independent researcher who says the book is not what it seems. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
It’s one of the most influential social psychology studies ever. Was it all a lie?
A classic book on UFO believers and their "cognitive dissonance" after aliens failed to land is called into question.

So great to see Whitney over here! Give her a follow, she's a wonderful reporter whose work was indispensable in writing the latter portions of WITHOUT CONSENT.
The first trial of a man accused of raping his wife while living with her happened in Salem. A new book by @sarahweinman.com takes a look back at the case and its impact— paired with an expected twist 38 years after the initial trial.

"A rational response to all of this would be for people to log off."
I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

Now reminded of a line in Vera Caspary's wonderful autobiography THE SECRETS OF GROWNUPS when she and a a friend tried to meet Harpo at the stage door of THE COCOANUTS but weren't let in because the card proferred by Harpo to the theater manager read "Please give these broads a good lay."
[Harpo Marx was born Adolf (later Arthur) Marx on this day in 1888. Circa HORSE FEATHERS he was handing out nude photographs of himself as a gag; one was auctioned recently for $5,760. You can see it here, but I've warned you. (Thanks Teakagee!)]

The two great American pastimes: white supremacy and grifting
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

This is also why THE SISTERS by Robert Littell (1986) may be the best novel about the assassination because it is Weird Guys all the way down
I think lee harvey oswald killed jfk, acting alone, but I think... the reason it is difficult to believe is it's hard to believe that everything could go almost perfectly for One Weird Guy

Nothing is wasted and life is worth living
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
Everything's nothing and nothing is ours
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
Everything's nothing and nothing is ours
There is no pain
You are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
