Ripley's Law

The longer an event of negative impact occurs, the higher the probability of somebody suggesting we nuke it to try and solve it.
Guy 1: Maybe we should nuke the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
Guy 2: Dammit, I just got Ripley's Law'd!

Riley's Law

Riley’s Law is an internet law coined by Riley Quinn of the TrashFuture podcast. It states that, "Once you post transphobia, you never post normally again."

This is in reference to a number of high-profile public figures who have entered into a downward spiral of accepting far-right conspiracy theories after publicly engaging in transphobia, such as Rita Panahi, Tulsi Gabbard, and Graham Lineham.
The entire world waits on the wings for Riley's Law to take its place on Ana Kasparian.
