I guess Trump sought advice from his National Security Advisor Vladimir Putin.
Phillips OBrienWait--I thought it was guaranteed that the US would allow Ukraine to build Patriot interceptors. Everyone told me Trump was pivoting to Ukraine and Laura Loomer was onside. newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/trump-q...

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

AI boosters want life to be like The Matrix movies, where you get all the knowledge about an area injected into your head without any effort, work or study.

Dorian LynskeyI've written a few books and checked all the quotes (deleting some bangers because I doubted their authenticity) and if you're letting fabricated ones slip through then you're cutting corners in an egregious way. It is not the copy-editor's job to check every source, it's yours. Do the damn work
Excuse me while I go vomit
Aaron RuparHannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."
I love this cover art. I have a story in this issue about a guy stuck in a time loop at a protest--but the time loop doesn't quite work the way you'd expect. Since the issue is delayed, you can pre-order with free shipping until August 20th!
