Ace's Rule on Conspiracy Theories

So here's my rule on conspiracy theories:
I think everyone gets one or two free conspiracy theories. If you don't have any unconventional beliefs, you're kind of boring. You do not have, as Michael Scott said, a "child-like sense of wonder."

If you have three to five conspiracy theories, then I'd say you have a preference for the fantastical and dramatic and you prefer action-thriller movie plots to pedestrian but much more likely explnations. You like big, bold, often-gibberish theories that are more interesting than dull reality.

If you believe in six to ten conspiracy theories, well, now I think you're kind of a loon and maybe a bit credulous and low-IQ. Now I think you just believe in conspiracy theories because they're pretty simple.

But, if like Tucker Carlson, you now believe in ALL OF THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES, I don't think you're a loon.

I think you're a grifter playing the loons for Paranoia Clicks.

More details at the link. Don't comment on old threads.

Conspiracy theories tend to vary in quality, and some are more lasting than others. Also, some tend to overtake previous thought patterns. What happened to Candace thinking like this?

How many conspiracy theories can you come up with from these photos? Are they military? Something else?

This Weekend's Big Conspiracy

Ed Driscoll posted a series of links on The Dignity Index social credit score coming to Utah. I think there is real stuff here. How do we sort it out?

This is important. https://t.co/WaQ5vrzYVz

There are several of them, with a LOT of information. My favorite is the reference to the Armed Queers of SLC. What is yours?

This is the project that Ermiya Fanaeian of SLC Armed Queers allegedly helped define.

A literal revolutionary Communist who trained in Cuba. https://t.co/QZqbssMNHA

I happen to have some insider information (well, not actually insider, but advanced) that this "dignity" theme has been in the works for a LONG time. I'll see if I can dig up any insider information from my source. Heh.

And then there is the new Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy!

Noticed any other recent conspiracies or conspiracy theories?

Weekend

The Week In Pictures: Return to Normalcy Edition

The big news of the week was the end of the Democrats’ shutdown, which means that things are now back to normal. I.e., batsh*t crazy. (And, by the way, I am a convert to Bill Glahn’s theory that the Democrats never intended to achieve anything tangible by the shutdown. Rather, it was simply a means to fire up their base in advance of the elections in Virginia and New Jersey. The tactic succeeded, which means we can look forward to another shutdown next fall.)
Lots of the week’s memes were leftovers–Mamdani in New York and Sydney Sweeney (most of which I passed on, despite my high regard for Ms. Sweeney). But there were also some new topics, like President Trump’s endorsement of 50-year mortgages, which was not popular in meme world. And socialism remains deeply unpopular. . .

"chomping at the bit" Sorry, I hate to do it, but I'm a fan of etymology.
It's "Champing at the bit."
