All conspiracy theories are false except one: Mark Zuckerberg is an actual lizard person.

I genuinely believe that at the end of the day, he returns to his complex, peels the top part of his suit off, the stares glass-eyed at daytime television while asking his wife which emotions the people on the TV screen are displaying, in preparation for his next meeting at the Senate.

Where is the first place you find news?

"We care about your privacy" is starting to sound like "The Socialist Peoples Democratic Republic of Legitimate Voting land".

You don't have to believe they're all out to get you, but it helps.
