1. any law enforcement personnel;
2. armed police in patrol cars or other vehicles, specifically those in the vicinity of a crime scene or alerted to the position of a suspect.

Tommy: We're takin' Dino's car?

The 8 Axes of the Bullshit Spectrum

A framework for evaluating bullshit along eight key dimensions. The 8 axes are: 1) Truth-Indifference (how little the speaker cares about truth), 2) Evidence-Deficit (how unsupported the claim is), 3) Plausibility (how believable the claim is on its face), 4) Motivation (what the speaker gains from the bullshit), 5) Harm Potential (how much damage the bullshit can cause), 6) Virality (how likely it is to spread), 7) Resistance to Correction (how hard it is to debunk), and 8) Systemicity (whether it's isolated bullshit or part of a larger bullshit system). These axes allow for nuanced evaluation of bullshit, distinguishing between different types and degrees.

The 8 Axes of the Bullshit Spectrum *Example: "They stopped just calling things 'bullshit' and started mapping them on the 8 axes. The advertising claim was high on truth-indifference, low on harm potential. The conspiracy theory was high on everything—truth-indifference, harm, virality, resistance. The axes showed why one was annoying and the other dangerous—and why responding required different strategies."*

The 16 Axes of the Bullshit Spectrum

An expanded framework adding eight dimensions for even more nuanced bullshit evaluation. The additional axes include: 9) Intentionality (whether the bullshit is deliberate or the speaker is self-deceived), 10) Audience (who the bullshit targets), 11) Cultural Resonance (how well it fits existing beliefs), 12) Emotional Appeal (how much it leverages emotion), 13) Identity Loading (how tied it is to group identity), 14) Institutional Embeddedness (whether it's backed by institutions), 15) Historical Persistence (how long it's been around), and 16) Refutability (whether it can be effectively countered). The 16 axes provide a comprehensive bullshit analysis toolkit.

The 16 Axes of the Bullshit Spectrum *Example: "The conspiracy theory was off the charts on most axes—high truth-indifference, high harm, high virality, high identity loading. But on intentionality, it was mixed: some promoters knew it was bullshit; some believed it. The 16 axes showed the complexity: different strategies needed for different bullshitters. The theory wasn't just bullshit; it was a system."*

Run with the Bulls or Dance with One 

1. An expression when someone is either a player or committed to someone else. 2. Having an interest in someone outside of your social circle, they don’t associate themselves with the crowd you’re familiar with.

Origins come from traditions in Spain where bulls are used to either fight in an arena or run with locals in a festivity.

“I either want to get with Jade or Heather, do you think I can get away with both?” “It’s either you run with the bulls or dance with one.”

you be with the bullshit 

A joke or term used to say that you are goofing off or playing around or being funny

John says to Avery I’m going to the gym at 5. Avery goes to John’s house at 8 and says how was the gym? John says he never went to the gym. Avery says “you be with the bullshit”.
