I’ve developed a revolutionary new AI image generation technology that costs almost nothing, requires no data centers, doesn’t invite us getting into bed with Elon Musk or Sam Altman (ug, he snores and steals all the sheets). It’s Open Source too, so anyone can use it with off the shelf technology

This is not idle speculation. The intercepts of the Witkoff/Kushner/Dmitriev conversations leaked by NATO intel services to various European and US publications show that this is _exactly_ what is going on. It's the most humiliating chapter in the whole history of US diplomacy.

Again, we have an anti-vax conspiracy theorist as the *head* of all healthcare in the U.S. This particular conspiracy theory is even more bonkers than his others (and there are many others). How is this remotely ok? 🧪
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Can't imagine why he thought the election was stolen. Maybe it had something to do with the President lying about it and the press regurgitating his statements as though they were a point of view worth considering and not just blatant lies. So weird. So weird.
JUST IN: The alleged J6 pipe bomber confessed, said he wanted to “speak up” for those who believed 2020 election was stolen, dislikes both parties and modeled his attack on the Troubles in Ireland.

And even chicken pox is far from being some benign childhood illness. After you get it, it lives in your nervous system for life, and pops up again in your later years as shingles, which can be excruciatingly painful and lead to blindness.
Yeah, this dum dum is talking about chicken pox.
Anyway, it's very cool and awesome that he has so much cultural and political influence.

Also note that the "liberal" bubble is taken as a fact, unlike any possible negative characterization of conservatism, which is presented as an open question or a belief delivered through critics
The utter perversion of the #BrokenTimes' both-sidesing compulsion: Here it equates the right-wing ruin of New College with (checks notes) liberal (in any sense of the word) education, which it dismisses as just another "ideological bubble." Just fuck off.
