    4,015 words Part 1 QAnon gives me déjà vu. This guy appears out of nowhere on an internet forum. He claims to have secret knowledge. But he won’t just come out and tell you what it is. Instead, he talks in riddles. He says he is affiliated with Trump, who has a plan, a grand […]

    1,765 words I’ve been thinking about QAnon a lot lately. When I think of QAnon, I’m mostly just annoyed. From the right angle, the QAnon movement looks like a Ferrari on cinder blocks.

    Counter Currents - Jan 22nd 2021 6:00am EST

    2,907 words David Lynch’s second feature film, The Elephant Man (1980), is one of his finest works. In many ways, The Elephant Man is Lynch’s most conventional “Hollywood” film.
