We’ve got the Pentagon posting QAnon slop on a verified government account. What an utterly humiliating time to live in this country.
The term of art we use on our show is “website personality” but man is he mad that people don’t consider spending 20 hours a day name-searching yourself on social media apps “journalism”
brilliant example sir, this message is sure to resonate with the peasants
JD Vance on H-1B recipients: "It's one thing if you were to bring in a person like Elon Musk. I think 99% of American citizens look at somebody like Elon Musk and say, 'if that person wants to come in and build something great in the US, we support that.'
