“So bullshitting isn’t just nonsense. It’s constructed in order to appear meaningful, though on closer examination, it isn’t. And bullshit isn’t the same as lying. A liar knows the truth but makes statements deliberately intended to sell people on falsehoods. bullshitters, in contrast, aren’t concerned about what’s true or not, so much as they’re trying to appear as if they know what they’re talking about. In that sense, bullshitting can be thought of as a verbal demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect—when people speak from a position of disproportionate confidence about their knowledge relative to what little they actually know, bullshit is often the result.”

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot.”

Onion Recall Linked to E. Coli and McDonald’s Spreads to Other Fast Food Chains
A deadly outbreak spurred removal of onions by a major food supplier in the Mountain West. Taco Bell, KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut have stopped serving onions at various locations.
“A sweeping onion recall linked to an E. coli outbreak involving McDonald’s Quarter Pounders has prompted several other major fast-food chains to remove raw onions from their menu offerings. Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC and Burger King have stopped adding fresh onions to their signature items at certain locations. A spokeswoman for Yum Brands, which owns several fast-food chains, said that its restaurants were yanking onions from their menus ‘out of an abundance of caution.’ Yum Brands would not elaborate or say how many sites in how many states would not offer onions.”

The Death card in tarot is often misunderstood due to its ominous name and imagery. However, it rarely signifies literal death. Instead, it represents transformation, change, and the end of a chapter to make way for new beginnings.
Here’s a breakdown of the Death card’s meanings:
1. Transformation and Transition
- The Death card is a powerful symbol of metamorphosis. It often signals the end of a phase, relationship, or belief system, allowing new growth. It encourages letting go of old habits or structures that no longer serve you.
2. Release and Letting Go
- This card often suggests releasing attachments. It can mean accepting loss or moving on from people, places, or things that are holding you back.
3. Cycles and Renewal
- Death is part of life’s natural cycle, and the Death card emphasizes that endings are necessary for beginnings. It serves as a reminder that every ending paves the way for a fresh start.
4. Rebirth and Personal Growth
- Seen positively, the Death card can be about rebirth and reinvention. It’s a chance to become a new version of yourself, shedding what no longer serves you.
5. Inverted (Reversed) Meaning
- When reversed, the Death card can indicate resistance to change, stagnation, or feeling stuck in a situation that needs closure. It can suggest that holding onto the past is blocking progress.
Key Themes
- Keywords: transformation, change, ending, release, rebirth.
- Archetypes: Phoenix rising from the ashes, the cycle of nature (seasons changing).
The Death card, while intense, is fundamentally about growth and evolution, encouraging acceptance of change as part of a healthy, evolving life journey.

Living a Lie: We Deceive Ourselves to Better Deceive Others
“What’s so interesting is that we seem to intuitively understand that if we can get ourselves to believe something first, we’ll be more effective at getting others to believe it,” says William von Hippel, a psychologist at The University of Queensland, who co-authored the study. “So we process information in a biased fashion, we convince ourselves, and we convince others. The beauty is, those are the steps Trivers outlined—and they all lined up in one study.”
