The very latest from whackworld: I was just informed that the entire internet is now under

the control of, not the military, as previously declared, but rather, the earth alliance (comprised of many secret societies) and the intergalactic federation of space nations, who met on Jupiter in July to coordinate this takedown. The mind control frequencies that were being used have been replaced by higher, freedom-loving frequencies. (Why am I hearing the soundtrack from "The Last Starfighter" in my head???)

You are welcome. I am now calling my liquor store to see if they can make an emergency delivery.

IMDB.com is a great resource for this kind of information. I often check the careers of actors I admire there and sometimes find gems of performances I would never have heard of otherwise.

They do know that Juptier's a gas giant, yes? And that there's no place to land?

Jupiter is secretly a Dyson Sphere and the gaseous planet is a hologram.
That's common knowledge within my club, "The Federation of Evil Scientists".
Maybe I shouldn't be talking about it!

Before Trump and QAnon and Facebook, I would have said that 98% of the population is conversant with reality. Now I think it’s only about 65% or so.

hanging onto every post, every youtube video, from these CT nutjobs. And, sadly, this is only a small distillation of the insanity. It is so convoluted, so bizarre, it almost defies synopsis.

And I think you are being overly generous in your estimate.
