stephen colbert.... (a "poemish")

Post by saw » February 11th, 2026, 11:44 am

we've reached an impasse
how will we ever be able to know the truth
about anything ever again
artificial intellegence is getting better
every single day
photographs are no longer truth
witness statements are no longer accepted
whatever the prez is afraid of
he calls it fake
fake news, fake testimonies, fake pictures
and no one can use any evidence
to sway the minds of those
that would really like to know the truth
stephen colbert coined the word " truthiness"
some years back
I think he knew this moment would arise
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

great little poemish. I will definitely add that and truthiness to my vocabulary.
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.

This world has become a pageant of illusion and brainwashing it seems to me. I saw a whole long video of Obama speaking that on hindsight I think was a deepfake video which I confirmed I believe it was. And the herd is swayed. I don't know what the outcome of this will be. But it is unfolding all around us.
