Beautiful day yesterday. 🌅

There's like a 10 minute uncut scene where these two gay guys smoke weed in the desert while one of them tells the other one the entire history of UFO conspiracy theories and it's all stuff I've heard before. So definitely some gay UFO kid's pet project.

The other night I watched a low-budget psychedelic movie about a guy who mind melds with a gray alien and they fall in love and they're both boys with my lesbian friend Ted and after the movie was over I was like "ok so the interesting thing here is that this is all based on real UFO theories"

Hollyhock's favorite activity: looking, listening, and smelling.

I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

MN Shortlist, April 10–16: Works in progress, traditions reopened MN Shortlist recommends IFest-MN, ‘The Full Monty’, a puppet fest and more.

Wondering what to do this weekend or next week? MN Shortlist recommendations include the International Festival of Minnesota in St. Paul and "The Postman’s Daughter" at Illusion Theater in Minneapolis.

See the complete list here.

Rightwing dudes: "Women shouldn't be in leadership. Women shouldn't vote. They're not rational like men."

Also, somehow, rightwing dudes: "The hand of God teleported me to a Waffle House."

New new sincerity.

I should clarify my knowledge of UFO conspiracy theories is purely historical and I don't follow what the tinfoil hat community is up to right now but I can make an educated guess based on the history of the subculture. JD Vance's is just particularly evangelical Christian flavored.

The Mothman Prophecies also presents the interesting idea that aliens are real but if you think they come from space you're such a fucking idiot. They're obviously from a different dimension bro. #ufos #mothman

I'd say a solid 90% of The Mothman Prophecies is descriptions of "aliens in disguise" who are obviously just like.... a Latino guy with a speech impediment. Which sucks because aside from being incredibly racist I was hoping to read a book about Mothman. #mothman

The concept of spiritual warfare is alive and well in many people's minds. Make of that what you will. 😇🫶👹

So yeah basically #UFOsAreDemons but also #DemonsAreGhosts and #MothmanIsAnAlien and they're all from the same place and that place is NOT outer space or heaven or hell.

Basically people are really easy to control if they believe the world is full of dark and evil forces, as @hankgreen.bsky.social pointed out in his excellent video on the topic. But yeah that explanation of UFOs isn't uncommon at all in the circles JD Vance runs in. #ufos #demons

What's INTERESTING about JD Vance's particular message about UFOs being DEMONS SPECIFICALLY is the way it reflects the history of Christian theology as a whole and demonstrates how the GOP controls people through fear. #UFOS #DEMONS #JDVANCE

The theory I've read the most about is actually weirder than just "UFOs are demons" because it actually files UFOs, ghosts, demons, and cryptids into one category of beings that are actually from a parallel dimension of our own reality. #ufos #cryptids #demons #ghosts

JD Vance's "UFOs is demons" thing really hits different when you have a weird amount of knowledge about the.... shall I say schools of thought in the UFO/cryptozoology/demonology community. Because this is very much a theory that I've heard before. #jdvance #ufos #cryptozoology #mothman

Well.... who among us wouldn't attempt to start WW3 as a distraction from the increasing public awareness of our heavy involvement in a billionaire pedophile cult and also the rising evidence that our presidency is illegitimate
