110. I've had my tin foil hat on this year. A number of "incidents" have made me go Hmmmmm.....

Fri Nov 28, 2025, 03:32 PM

Friday

From Noem's bag being stolen to Big Balls being attacked and a number of other incidents.
Maybe I am just overthinking things, but it sure seems like these incidents further what they want to do anyway.
I will say this, I think people are being radicalized online. In ways that they may not even recognize.
For instance, on Youtube, I watch mostly cooking videos and home decor videos. When it comes to politics, I watch Don Lemon, Joy Reid, The Bulwark, etc.
Yet I get bombarded with RW leaning content suggestions and ads. I also have noticed subtle religious ads showing up in the algorithm. I am not religious. This tells me that someone is effing with the algorithm. I am getting a bunch of David the religious cartoon ads. One can see how people slowly get sucked into extremism without them even realizing it.
I think these tech billionaires are messing with us.
