Summary
Mal’s been slammed, so Jordan rounded up a bunch of good stories to serve up like a pile of gifts on a platter. First, why are people shining lasers at walls while tripping on DMT? Next, we need to discuss the fact that JD Vance is on record believing UFOs are actually demons. What does that even mean? (Hint: it probably doesn’t mean anything about UFOs or demons.) After that, an ancient Greek geek out about what might be the first recorded case of a haunted house. Finally, were there really thousands of dead giants buried in Ohio? Who knows! We certainly don’t. But also, do we even want to? We’re here for the magic, the mystery, and the egregious political exploitation of Christianity. Highlights: People are using lasers to see simulation source code while tripping on DMT Why “proof negates the point” when it comes to spiritual experience We are the Headline Generation: we form opinions from fragments and live by them for years Trickster NHIs are everywhere! (probably) Even getting led into a snake pit might be for your good Mal is remarkably morally relativistic for a God girl (ok not really) JD Vance, the Vice President of these United States, says, on record, UFOs are demons Jordan says weaponizing the resurgence of Christianity is “the closest thing to evil” he knows of Pliny the Younger’s haunted house in Athens — possibly the oldest ghost story on record Hauntings with tidy conclusions are rare Quantum microtubules, waveform collapse, and why biological determinism can’t account for the way life meets you A 1798 homestead sitting on top of 3,000 ancient graves in Ohio An eight-foot-tall woman buried in copper jewelry “Give me the giant queen laser” Learn more about your ad choices.
