Wanting to “watch the world burn” is a type Speaking of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), I won’t this morning. Much. At The Garden of Forking Paths, however, Brian Klass offers study results that might address her type. Movie buffs know Alfred Pennyworth’s speech from The Dark Knight in which he offers Bruce Wayne an explanation of The Joker’s motivations: Some men just want to watch the world burn. Researchers find it is a type, actually. Alfred was right: The researchers—Michael Bang Petersen and Mathias Osmundsen from Aarhus University in Denmark, and Kevin Arceneaux from Sciences Po in Paris—focus on a specific behavior to create a typology of “Need for Chaos” individuals. Specifically, they focus on those who share “hostile political rumors,” which they note, “portray politicians and political groups negatively and possess low evidential value.” In plain speak, they like spreading malicious political lies.

Here at Deena’s Donut Holes, we’re passionate about making our donut holes perfect for you and your family, and we’ve been listening to what you have to say.
You asked for donut holes earlier, and we extended our hours.
You asked for our donut holes to be bigger, and we added 27 percent more filling.
You asked for gluten-free donut holes, and we now have three gluten-free flavors, which we call our Defloured Tasty Holes.
You asked if all our donut holes are made fresh and homemade. They are. Each donut hole is baked that day and meets our brand promise: “Our holes make you whole because you’re part of our hole family!”
You asked if we could name our gluten-free donut holes something other than “defloured” since that term had a weird sexual connotation. We listened, but we can’t rename them. But you don’t have to say the word; just point to the strawberry, cake, or chocolate gluten-free beauties to get your Defloured Tasty Holes.
