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 not. recording live from glory hole studios in Chicago and beyond.

This is cognitive dissonance.

Every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way.

We bring critical thinking, skepticism, and irreverence.

To any topic that makes the news,

makes it big or makes us mad.

It's skeptical, it's political, and there is.

No welcome mat. Today is Thursday, February the 8th, except

for that it's not, it's actually the first, but you're hearing this on the 8th.

So if anything happened between the 1st and the 8th eighth we should know about we don't know about it yet

so I don't hold it against us.

Well yeah or if the Atlantic shut down between now and then.

They rename it to Pacific, you know, we didn't know.

One of the articles that I posted on our notes recently was I had

posted it and I and I we went there today and when you clicked on it it was gone and that's because the entire news site failed.

The entire news site folded. The news site is no longer there, it doesn't exist anymore.

I got the story from a place called the messenger and it's literally gone now.

And I only got it because it had a link to a Fox News article and I didn't want to have to scan all the way down to the Fox News article.
