Fan of science, casual computing, and thinking about stuff and things. Probably more opinionated than is warranted.

My @'s the same on certain other sites too.

@JasonColavito This one had willing collaborators posing as her parents and everything. Incredible.

Often it's a predatory thing, which at least makes it make some kind of sense. But in cases where it's not, I just can't wrap my head around it.

@mcmansionhell Wasting your time really; some people genuinely think people should be willing to die horrifically for the crowd's entertainment and that any kind of safety-mindedness is cowardice.

@JasonColavito What are the odds that the "100%, no question" compelling evidence of advanced NHI technology that Tim Burchett has seen is the same grainy videos of fuzzy dots that we've all been seeing (and often offering mundane explanations for) this whole time?

@JasonColavito At that volume it is deliberate. An algorithm would send you ads, it wouldn't be signing you up for anything.

If he could, Newt Gingrich would force every American to divorce his wife while she lay in a hospital bed recovering from cancer surgery.

@OsitaNwanevu I think the mustard bottle in my fridge predates woke, so luckily I don't have to worry about it

@JasonColavito I think that's exactly it. He wanted to spread the rumors but didn't want to have to own them.

@JasonColavito I would love to watch a TV show about a rough-and-tumble alien saucer-pilot who smuggles drugs and guns out of remote jungle sites for the secret Deep State, engaging in various feats of derring-do to stay one step ahead of an ersatz Steven Greer.

@erikofengland @MickWest Perhaps you should consider that he was "authorized" to discuss these cases because they're not actually real, and by talking about them he wouldn't be disclosing any actual classified information.

@MoralitySecular @MickWest Because David Grusch is a human and is as susceptible to "want to believe" bias as any other human. He's a longtime UFO fan who is convinced he knows The Truth and is unwilling to consider that he could have been misled by people he considers trustworthy or credible.

@JasonColavito All of the appeals to "civil discourse" and "but what ifs" and assertions about how the claimants really seem like nice gents who would never lie, can't hide or overcome the fact that it's all talk and no substance; it's always just "I heard it from a guy".

[@[email protected] @Checkmite]

@JustNNovel @VICENews Let me save you the suspense: there aren't any. The "whistleblower" is a UFO fan who believes what he's claiming is true because he's a UFO fan and read about it in UFO books, not because he learned anything about it in the course of his job as an intelligence officer.

@JasonColavito COTG had a hilarious passage where Von Daniken says that "without actually consulting Exodus" he (incorrectly) thinks he remembers reading that Moses' ark was often surrounded by electrical sparks. You're writing a book, man! Is looking it up really that inconvenient?

@MarzGurl My god, look what they've done to you...!

[@[email protected] @Checkmite]

@MarzGurl Everyone is completely misunderstanding the stocking allegations. She's just explaining that Marz makes a mean soup.

[@[email protected] @Checkmite]

@Hayleystevens After he notices, can I have your stuff?

[@[email protected] @Checkmite]

@MarzGurl Sounds like any enemy you come across is boned
