What's not written here is that Scott Adams did not undergo the standard prostate cancer treatment arc, but instead wanted to prove that IVERMECTIN CURES CANCER
And all he proved is that IVERMECTIN DOES NOT CURE CANCER.
This is, by far, the funniest thing Scott Adams has ever done.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

Tolkien's musings on reconciling the idea of inherently evil people with Christian ethics may not have borne fruit, but I confess the idea of goblins as unfathomably wise and ancient creatures who were old when the Sun and Moon were young who just CHOOSE to be awful gremlins has a certain zip to it.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.
