⚠️🇺🇸>🌲“Tucker might even be tempted… to pass his use of the flag off as an appreciation of Americana or an interest in New England local history. But this flag should be understood as a dog whistle, a Christian nationalist secret handshake hidden in plain sight.”
EXCLUSIVE: Tucker Carlson has quietly swapped out the Amer flag in his barn studio & replaced it w/ an Appeal to Heaven flag. This isn't a coincidence. A post on what the flag means, who created its modern meaning, & what Tucker is signaling — & to whom. open.substack.com/pub/matthe…

A beautiful speech about the challenge—and necessity—of communicating in pursuit of connection from Cate Blanchett, one of this year's Praemium Imperiale laureates.

I tend more towards the Führerbunker theory of the case: he has decided the American people clearly don’t deserve to “win” because they are weak, and he will punish them for their weakness.
Trump cancelling his rallies just before the vote is fascinating. Three possible reasons. 1) His health is weak and cannot do more. 2) His rallies are motivating the opposition and he knows it. 3) He understands it will be a Dem whitewash and is trying not to be blamed.

Ownership, with an option on secession, with Russia's help. That's what he's expecting.
My latest for @WIRED : Musk has enjoyed a cozy relationship with top Texas officials for years. Now he's also the biggest single donor to Paxton and Abbott's campaigns. What's he expecting in return? wired.com/story/elon-musks-t…

This may not be the oldest trick in the book, but only in the way that Babylon isn't quite as old as Sumeria.
I don't want to hear a fucking word about "Dan Sullivan" Alaska. Republicans ran four (4) FAKE candidates in 2020 to cheat their way into maintaining power in Florida. The Chair of the Florida GOP at the time was ringling bro kin, and current Nat'l GOP, Joe Gruters.

As a Canadian watching from above your current fascist state, I am concerned dear leader, Elon and their minions are up to no good with your election next week. Please, make this too big of a result to fuck with. Get out and vote!

This is genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Fox News thought they were interviewing a Trump supporter, and this man went on national television to explain that he showed up just to witness the MAGA cult in its natural habitat. I'm crying laughing.
Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.
