Thanks for joining us on this ride.

“We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out of the White House because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon… Our tribe was strong like a river. That river is still running. All we have to do is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House.”
— Hunter S. Thompson,

  • Social media users cast doubt on the authenticity of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s March 12 press briefing, saying he appeared to have six fingers. A closer look revealed that’s not the case.
  • Discussing the Iran war, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the U.S. is “a net oil exporter.” Is he right, and does it affect prices at the pump?
  • Vibration plates aren’t really harmful, but they may not be as transformative as many of their promoters say. There’s limited scientific evidence available on what they can and can’t do. Here’s what we know.
  • President Donald Trump said, “She has to be of age, like above six years old” in relation to the SAVE America Act. This context is missing from social media posts resharing his statement.

“Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.”
- Terence McKenna, attributed


"In the end, McKenna, the Stoics, Buddhists, Taoists, and Heraclitus are all pointing us toward the same truth: to live fully, we must learn to dance with chaos, not run from it. We must let go of our rigid need for control and open ourselves to the wild, untamed, and unpredictable flow of life. Only then can we truly understand the deeper currents that shape our existence, the very sections of life where chaos and order intertwine."
