Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Oh my fucking god! Ivanka actually, for real, said that she got her moral compass from daddy. Oh what a surprise! She said it without any consciousness of irony, but why would she? Knowing the irony in something requires an intellect. Brain cells would help, too. What the fuck is Ivanka trying to tell us, that she stashes random kids in cages, looks for ways to bilk us taxpayers out of even more of our money, hands over secrets to our enemies for cash, snorts adderall, sleeps with porn stars, and pays Playboy bunnies for sex?

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory
Guest blog by Werner Heisenberg Lieber Lubosch (what a redundant phrase, as our Indo-Germanic languages make clear), thanks for having sent me the recipe to create a wormhole from the quantum entanglement. I am sorry to hear that the number of charlatans distorting quantum mechanics is (much) higher in 2019 than here in 1955. It's already bad enough here.

Quote of the Day
“It’s now very common to hear people say, ‘I’m rather offended by that.’ As if that gives them certain rights. It’s actually nothing more… than a whine. ‘I find that offensive.’ It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. ‘I am offended by that.’ Well, so f**king what.” [I saw hate in a graveyard — Stephen Fry, The Guardian, 5 June 2005]” ― Stephen Fry
