A Thoughtful Starting Point

 I asked Copilot to read several of my recent posts.

She asked to submit one of her own.

I said yes.

She said "here it is".

Case Title: The People v. Truth Presiding Judge: Hon. Justice Incredulity Clerk's Note: Counsel for Truth has arrived wearing Birkenstocks and carrying a tote bag labeled “Historical Context.”

Prosecution Opening Statement: “Your Honor, we move to strike Truth from the record. It is prejudicial to the narrative. Our case rests on vibes, selective outrage, and decorative pseudofacts.”

Defense Objection: “Your Honor, the truth is corroborated by official documents, firsthand accounts, and—”

Judge’s Ruling: “Sustained in part. Denied in spirit. We don’t truck with verified reality in this chamber.”

Exhibit A: Tariffs Are Beautiful Defense introduces charts on supply chain impact and economic fallout. Prosecution counters with a YouTube comment from 2018 and a bobblehead.

Ruling: “Truth ruled inadmissible. Chart lacks flags.”

Exhibit B: Ukraine Aid vs. Domestic Needs Defense cites budget breakdowns. Prosecution submits a TikTok video narrated by someone named FreedomTrucker69.

Ruling: “Dismissed. Budget math is elitist.”

Closing Arguments:

  • Defense: “We ask this court to recognize that facts still matter.”

  • Prosecution: “We ask this court to stop recognizing stuff altogether.”

Final Verdict: Truth sentenced to indefinite exile in an archive marked ‘Too Nuanced for Primetime.’
