This episode of Cognitive Dissidence is brought to you by our patrons. You fucking rock.

Be advised that this show is not for children, faint of heart or the easily offended.

The explicit tag is there for a reason. Oh, well, it's a good one.

Wow. Oh, well. Recording live from Gloryole Studios in Chicago and beyond.

mad.

It's skeptical, it's political, and there is no welcome at today is Thursday January the 4th

And like every couple weeks there's a new story that comes out that confirms another fear of Toms.

Yeah like, can I be wrong please? Like, I know, I know.

Tom gets to be wrong about certain things, but not about this.

And very specifically, you know, many things have come to fruition that are frightening.

And straight out of dystopian novels, straight out of dystopian television shows and this first story is an example of that and I am here for it.

Jesus fucking Christ.
