It’s true!

“I mean, how many people want to be Kristian Andersen?* [..] he doesn’t want to be the guy who gets in front of Congress, he wants to do science”

Oof @ckava.bsky.social, on point 😬😆.

Rather disappointing to see QAnonAnonymous hosting Olivier Jutel, who seriously cites Kit Klarenberg, Max Blumenthal, and Alan MacLeod's nonsense about Bellingcat in his academic work on counter-disinformation.

Joe Rogan's Cult of Fake Archaeology YouTube video by Archaeology with Flint Dibble

I have stage 4 cancer

Joe Rogan recently mocked my physical appearance to millions, calling me a “weird kind of bitchy weak man”

I’m ripping out the IV and clapping back at this troll in this video: youtu.be/V0tMcWeOuFY?...

This ‘heterodox’ social conference is full of MAGA ideologues, political activists, & polemical pundits. This is more accurately described as a festival of grievance from people who lack self awareness. Batya & Chris Rufo are going to teach people about research methods and objectivity? 😂 Wise up…

Not enough bandwidth for multiple platforms. I’m still using Twitter but not super active anywhere these days.

And my second 2Q in a slightly softer gym!

Ending the year with my first 3Q in a rather tough graded gym.

It’s very unfortunate Lex had no means to contact Zelensky and suggest this in private. It certainly isn’t him making a public post to generate pressure. I am sure he will be posting various public requests directed at Putin too.

Not quite 😉

Second 2Q! 🥳

Most people do not think street executions of those they dislike are good. That voices to the contrary are loudest on social media platforms is largely a reflection of how such platforms are divorced from popular sentiment and algorithmically incentivize extremism and outrage.

The Wellness Women Are on the March Behind MAHA, RFK Jr.’s alternative-health movement, is a legion of Instagram influencers with millions of followers.

This has been growing for a decade now. Influencer gurus are a focus of my 📖, the Decoding the Gurus pod, Conspirituality, etc.

They know how to talk to their audiences & they aren’t constrained by professional ethics or reality. Also they make💰. That’s it.

Has anyone checked in on Tulsi Gabbard in what must be a trying time

Yes American healthcare is terrible. Assassination of executives is not the solution to anything.

Good to know. Survived many civil wars/revolutions?

So those concerns about stochastic terrorism encouragement doesn’t apply if the targets are corporate CEOs? 🤔

The final report from the COVID Sub Committee is released and it is as expected given that the origin "has been contorted by politics, while scientific discourse has been abandoned in pursuit of a preferred, coordinated narrative", as I stated in my written testimony.

BUT, there's a bombshell.. 🧵👇

Just let that sink in.

I think this is good actually because Lex now has committed himself to interviewing Zelensky and if he does not provide a fawning soft ball interview the difference will be obvious. Plus Lex’s audience is one that is often being filled with Russian propaganda.

Hmmm I think I can make an option to make it possible to access specific episodes on Patreon but there is a minimum payment that is above our subscription!

Cenk is the human embodiment of horseshoe theory.

I don’t see any dank NPC memes?

If you want a response I demand your best NPC memes!

Man you are really committed to this platform, huh? Also that definition of ‘celebrity’ is rather expansive but nice to give Eric recognition! Keep up the good work Munkhaus! 🫡
