If we think about what's taking place in the world today as a new form of warfare, and we think about the various instruments of that warfare in analogy to, say, naval vessels, we might come to think of a social media platform like Twitter as a kind of powerful battleship for the Enemy forces of today, the USS Twitter.

OnlySubs: Communism and the Metaphor of the Bat
At the risk of running the poor thing into the ground, I'm coming back to the societal metaphor of the baseball bat I've used in two previous episodes.

OnlySubs: This is Fine
We've all seen the meme. "This is fine," with flames all around. The dog sipping its coffee with a dumb smile on its face like its house isn't on fire. Did you know there's a name for the phenomenon captured by that meme?
