This just in: most women (most people, really, but most women for sure) don't want to be chums with people who try to literally murder them and their co-workers.
![Tucker Carlson: "What's [AOC] like?"
Matt Gaetz: "Before Jan. 6 she was incredibly chummy with Republicans, she would regularly come over to our side, sit down, hang out... after Jan. 6 she treated us all like we had horns or something."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:73t3muu2pudsajp7a2fj3aly/bafkreiagl3tmxesoqw6lydhcwey52rczco3joc2m4x3kz4yv7ojrekk6ci@jpeg)

I think you're right. But a lie unchallenged is too often a lie believed.

There is no thaw without the freeze.
The ferryman will have his fees,
So light your lamps and keep them bright
Against the cold and longest night.
For this we know: the fire burns.
The winter dies. The sun returns.
And all if we stand, and if we fight,
We can survive the longest night.

The wheel turns; the summer ends.
The light departs, the cold descends,
And we are left to hold the light
Against the cold and longest night.
The wind that howls around the door,
The tracks of snow upon the floor.
Reach for your loves and hold them tight
Against the cold and longest night.

I've talked before that the American Dream is a lie. The premise is that if you're smart and work hard, you'll be a success. Then they defined "success" as "rich" and inverted it, so anyone rich must be smart and worked hard.
Now the rich have started to believe their own bullshit.

I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

... that also happens to be propping up the entire US economy.

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...
