QAnon is of course insane and bogus but nobody “serious” espouses it and lab leak is I think generally accepted by the public at this point as the likely origin. But there’s nothing there it’s become ingrained via repetition.

I love reading up on conspiracy theories and have since I was a kid and I don’t think there’s a modern one based on less than lab leak. The entirety of the evidence is the lab being a half hour drive from the market. You can’t have lab leak without the market so this next evolution is even flimsier.
Redfield is a Trump appointee and known crank. If COVID was circulating in summer of 2019, the entire timeline of the pandemic would be different. Chinese authorities were not "pushing the wet market narrative," they actively covered it up.

I kinda want Elon Musk to become the first trillionaire. You don’t have to read Marx or cite a bunch of academic texts you can just point to the system rewarding one of the dumbest people alive who spends every waking second angry at his phone with more wealth than anyone in history.

Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.
The billionaire walk is so funny because to a normal person you have functionally unlimited money once you’re in the tens of millions of dollars range. It’s just chasing a high score once you’re in the billions you can’t possibly spend all that money.

The forces that make Trump impervious to internal correction within the GOP are going to create huge obstacles to the party winning elections and governing for a generation.
The tragedy of today's GOP is that they have purged anyone inclined to independence and leadership. Those who are left chose to climb into the back seat, and now they're lost. But they're finally yelling at the driver.
New in PN: The blowback to Trump's racist video reveals his weakness

Often think about how the failson ruined Dune by making the Butlerian jihad a generic Terminator robot war when his dad turned out to be prescient and that the calamity that actually befalls humanity would be turning over our minds to machine thinking.

I'm a lifelong Patriots fan but I kinda wanted to lose after I saw that embarrassing Bob Kraft antisemitism commercial. A "Dirty Jew" kick me sign on a kid's backpack? Really?

I'm glad for you if it isn't the case but a lot of people know someone who was normal and fried their brain with Facebook or Twitter. The elites aren't immune to it - the old guard used to read real outlets and feed the slop to the masses and now they're in group texts developing a shared psychosis.

Because someone trying to do effective propaganda wouldn't come off so insane. Elon Musk genuinely thinks the great replacement is real he isn't tweeting about it 200 times a day as a distraction or for some other reason. Their top intellectual cried in front of a journalist while talking about it.

Just isn’t the case. Used to be the elites fed the bullshit to the base but they’re all sucking from the same hose. It doesn’t excuse anything but they do genuinely believe the insane things they post.

Gelernter was one of the first people to make the mistake of picking up the phone when Isaac Chotiner called (defending Trump during the first term) back in the Slate days.
