If you're having trouble playing QAA episodes on our free feed, you're not the only one. I'm looking into it now and will hopefully will fix it ASAP.

It appears that a QAnon supporter who is a member of a QAnon outlet known as "NewsTreason 17" (whose logo is a Q & name is a reference to Q being the 17th letter of the alphabet) was "admitted" into the White House yesterday & got a White House press briefing room pass.

Once again gonna recommend the QAA podcast where people who worked with him on a cop show had to constantly tell him that he couldn’t actually do what the character did (like beating people) and that he had to pretend instead of doing it for real

CDC website altered at Robert F. Kennedy's behest to reflect his belief that "all events depicted in the film Ghostbusters really happened."

NEW: When Propecy Fails is one of the most famous social psychology books of all time, a look at a small group of UFO believers when the “spacemen” failed to land. I wrote about a new study from an independent researcher who says the book is not what it seems. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Tim Robinson's new series The Chair Company on HBO is great. It has keen depiction of humiliation-driven paranoia, the alienation that comes with conspiracism, and the thin line between falling down internet rabbit holes and uncovering genuine corruption that drives conspiracy theory obsession.

Listening to the fantastic Truly Tradly Deeply QAA Podcast series by @annieknk.bsky.social and Megan Kelly is a fantastic listen. 100% worth the $25 yearly subscribe fee... never mind that you get a bunch of other pods like @livagar.bsky.social's great Science in Transition. www.cursedmedia.net

i was thinking the same thing, but they made a good point on the QAA podcast that makes me second-guess it: the timeline of MTG questioning Trump may have more to do with him spurning her run for GA senate. And she just accidentally happened to land at a time when Trump is wildly unpopular

Given how much political discourse over the past few days has been dominated by parsing emails in order to better speculate about the depraved sexual inclinations of financial and political elites, I have to admit that Pizzagaters won culturally, even if they were wrong in the specifics.

My latest AI feature dives into a nebulous movement of people sharing esoteric codes, manifestos, glyphs, diagrams, and poetry generated with chatbots, all of it based around theories of AI sentience and mysterious metaphors about spirals.

"ideological entrepreneur" is a great phrase for trad influencers and i for one can't wait to aggressively overuse it to the point of rendering it meaninglessness

HOSTIN: You don't believe in QAnon anymore? You've changed? MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No, I haven't changed. I was a victim just like you were of media lies and stuff you read on social media

This has the potential to be the best series that has spun out of the QAA cinematic universe, and that is saying something as it is a very high bar to clear.

The first episode was a banger and I am so looking forward to the rest of the series. The QAA team/Cursed Media has been the perfect balance of informative, unhinged, and cathartic for me the past few years.

the new limited series on trad wives on QAA is excellent. two early highlights: 1) the title, Truly Tradly Deeply 2) “feminism isn’t responsible for you not having a boyfriend” open.spotify.com/episode/6QDB...

This weekend I've been listening to the first 2 episodes of Truly, Tradly Deeply with @annieknk.bsky.social. It's nice to hear two researchers talk on this topic with so much knowledge and authority. Get it from www.cursedmedia.net

In recent months, a growing number of people have ended up hospitalized, divorced, or dead after having long, intense conversations with ChatGPT. Some of their loved ones allege the chatbot fueled their delusions and paranoia.

Mystical TV screens that purport to cure illnesses have raked in nearly $100 million for their creators and funneled money to a burgeoning MAGA media empire. So I had to try the treatment myself! My craziest newsletter yet for @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/bizarre-he...

I returned to QAA this week to talk about my upcoming miniseries about tradwives! on.soundcloud.com/TYC72i40KAP1...

The US government is disappearing people, lying to judges and the press.

All across the West, lawmakers are skipping over the will of voters and yanking fluoride from municipal water systems. My latest story for @highcountrynews.org takes a deep dive into the fight over fluoride in the age of MAHA. www.hcn.org/issues/57-11...

QAA's own Annie Kelly (@annieknk.bsky.social) contributed to this great Al Jazeera report about how conservative women are rebranding right-wing politics for a female audience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtR8...

Just watched this on the recommendation of the QAA podcast. Two thumbs up. Excellent little low budget folk horror gem about witchcraft. A tight 78 minutes. Would make an excellent Call of Cthulhu RPG scenario.

EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat. Inside rising GOP leaders’ racist chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than 7 months👇

I want to once again recommend one of the single greatest podcast episodes of all time

NEW: Turning Point’s Christian Revival Turning Point USA’s first tour stop after the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10 was at the University of Minnesota, and for many the experience was spiritual.

Hogan's Heroes was a weird show. It was a sitcom about allied WWII airmen in a German POW camp that premiered in 1965, when WWII vets were entering their 40s. Lots of guys thought, "Sure, I'll sit and chuckle at a televised depiction of the period of my life where I lived in a Nazi war prison."

Going through some nearly 200-year-old correspondence. People don't write this beautifully any more. Click "Alt" to read the transcription.

In 2023, I made the decision to step away from sports writing. Today, I’m finally talking about why and what I’m doing now. ⬇️ bycatgarcia.medium.com/why-i-left-s...

In a new podcast interview, anti-vax figure Sherri Tenpenny said her family "used to sit around the kitchen table talking about [the] New World Order & the Illuminati &, you know, Council for Foreign Relations & all that stuff when I was a kid."

The right love to play cutesy word games like “Nazis are socialists because their party was called the National Socialists” or “Christian Identity isn’t hatred.” The Christian Identity movement is a violent white supremacist extremist movement. Slapping “Christian” on it doesn’t clean it up.

With this ringing endorsement, if you'd like to understand what deeply evil nonsense the literal President of the United States is promoting now please do listen! on.soundcloud.com/0SJT1Mcqx8ks...

Please, I beg of you: listen to QAA if you want to understand this [incredibly dumb] moment. @jakerockatansky.bsky.social @travisview.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/1VLb...

Everyone always asks me what my favourite conspiracy theory is but medbeds is for sure the saddest, I really can't think about it for too long. Just openly preying on the hopes of very desperate people

Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

This appears to have been the most successful 4chan operation in a while, & was reminiscent of past years when 4chan's efforts extended elsewhere into the right & caused potential offline harms.

This is an essential point given the irony poisoned nature of our information ecosystem

Today I will be honoring Charlie Kirk’s legacy by soliciting money from billionaires who want to set the agenda of my platform and organization.

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

New: The federal probe of Charlie Kirk’s killing has yet to find a link between Tyler Robinson & LW groups, per 3 sources familiar “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Being mortal is such a funny and thrilling thing. I woke this morning with an unquestioned certainty that I will see the sun set tonight. It’s the same certainty that Charlie Kirk had on the 10th. He happened to be wrong, and it’s too early to say if I’m right. The chaos is exhilarating sometimes.

If your political faction has control of the federal government and even begins to make culture war gains, it’s important to assume that trajectory will continue forever and wildly overplay your hand during the year leading up to the already-disadvantageous midterm elections.

Going back to 1998 to explain that in 27 years "Should the sidekick on Win Ben Stein's Money have a network TV show?" will be the most hotly-discussed political issue of the day because President Donald Trump used the assassination of a right-wing podcaster as a pretext for abusing federal power.

As long as we're going after late night hosts, it was outrageous that Jay Leno was permitted to use public, FCC-regulated airwaves to falsely claim that "presidential kneepads" exist. I looked like a FOOL in front of the White House tour guide.

How’s that for timing www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Cory Doctorow’s interview on the QAA podcast is fantastic. That is all. open.spotify.com/episode/00PK...

When QAnon emerged publicly in August 2018, the media was totally blindsided. Most had either no knowledge, or had actively ignored it. There's no excuse now. The president is sharing insane prophecy cult memes, and it needs to be covered. It's not normal.

In a new interview with a QAnon-affiliated podcast, prominent election denier David Clements said that he was "thankful for the people that do the decodes" of Q posts & suggested that people would be "foolish" to ignore the Q posts.
