Lingams of the Labyrinth

Arguments are just for show. People don’t expect to win hearts and minds in them, not really. Rather, it’s often just a virtue signal, or the refilling of narcissistic supply. Modern Media, Superiority Complexes, and the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect | Declination

Loser extends Olympic level losing streak: Colin Kaepernick hires lawyer to go after NFL in final last gasp of desperation

Diving Days: No vast political importance In which Fred contemplates diving deep into the holes in the ocean.

The suspect told police ‘give me a lawyer dog. The court says he wasn’t asking for a lawyer. And when a suspect in an interrogation told detectives to “just give me a lawyer dog,” the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that the suspect was, in fact, asking for a “lawyer dog,”€ and not invoking his constitutional right to counsel. It’€™s not clear how many lawyer dogs there are in Louisiana, and whether any would have been available to represent the human suspect in this case, other than to give the standard admonition in such circumstances to simply stop talking.

Secret Chamber? Cosmic Rays Reveal Possible Void Inside Great Pyramid An international group of researchers reported today (Nov. 2) in the journal Nature that by tracking the movements of particles called muons, they have found an empty space more than 98 feet (30 meters) long that sits right above the granite-walled Grand Gallery within the massive pyramid.

They want so desperately to shout down this man. I once thought it was because of his immigration policies — and I have no doubt that was a major factor, at least at first. But I’ve come to realize that there’s a deeper reason. He makes them look like idiots. He hurts their egos. Because, deep down, they know they aren’t the superior intellects they pretend to be.
