Looking Glass Land

1. The place where you are expected to believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast. According to the White Queen, it takes practice.
2. An alternative reality.
3. A safe space where people can stop clutching their pearls.
Alice entered Looking Glass Land through a mirror over the fireplace. There, she met the White Queen.
"I can't believe that!" said Alice.
"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."
Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen.

Looking Glass Land operates on alt-facts; only dedicated conspiracy theorists live there.
Widespread in-person voter fraud happens only in Looking Glass Land.
Alex Jones dispatches "news" from Looking Glass Land.
Watching Tucker Carlson is like visiting Looking Glass Land.

through the looking glass 

Similar to the twilight zone, where nothing is quite what it seems. In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass book, it can mean clocks that work backwards or "... a poor sort of memory that only works backwards."
Through the looking glass, nothing is what it seems.

Through The Looking Glass With Rayann 

“I’m not angry or screaming, I’m going off the deep end, Jesus Christ!! Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ!” - Through the Looking Glass with Rayann

project looking glass 

A very cool, open source desktop enviroment currently under developement by Sun Microsystems. In this environment, each window is a 3d object, making for a intuitive and powerful interface. It is designed for Linux/Solaris on the x86 platform, although a version for windows also exists. Looking Glass is still in its begining phases, and the prototype is nearly worthless, although it comes with a variety of programs to show off the environment's capabilities. Pretty impressive, and it doesn't consume very many resources. There is no word on prices, although it will almost definately be free.
Project Looking Glass is one of the many ways Sun Microsystems pwns Microsoft, and perhaps even Apple.
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
