History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

A great part of David's book The Age of Insurrection details all the mass shootings and natural disasters and other tragedies that were baselessly blamed on antifa in 2020. Highly recommend: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720886...

Yes. You could make Swordfish today. It’d be on Netflix and be forgotten the week after outside of that one scene with Halle Berry.

So tired of the “you couldn’t make xxxxx today” genre of post.

Entire way of experiencing movies that zoomers will never remember, that people my age barely remember, where you watched something because it was on. Feels like there is an entire genre of movie that was meant to be seen in that format. You couldn’t make Swordfish (2001) today.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Kevin Pyles was arrested on felony charges related to violent threats he made towards a Phoenix synagogue. This briefly hit local news following his arrest but, thanks to court record requests and some digging, we were able to confirm Pyles’ affiliation with the neo-Nazi group Goyim Defense League.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
