If you are at all interested in conspiracy theories or the history of conspiracy theories, listen to the Knowledge Fight series “Formulaic Objections”
It is nothing but court recordings of Alex Jones’s deposition hearings, in which he gets meticulously torn apart by a team of skilled lawyers, followed by detailed analysis from a podcast that has been following his career for several years.
It is delicious. I am obsessed.
Bankston: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones, I’ve noticed on a lot of these answers you’ve said, “Well, I’m just going off what Mr. [Wolfgang] Halbig said.” So what I want to know is: When you talked earlier about how you did deep research, what was that? What deep research did you do?
Jones: Well, I mean, I did look at the news articles saying they were being very secretive about the case, that a lot of things were sealed, which is unusual. There were lawsuits involved with that, and I did do research on [Michael] Bloomberg putting out an e-mail the day before saying, “Get ready. There’s going to be a big event,” you know, just straight up, people waiting around for mass shootings or whatever. And just the way the media made a spectacle out of it right away is what really made me question. That scene like with the WMDs or babies in the incubators, I just saw the media so on it, so ready; and I thought that added credibility to it.
Bankston: Okay. I mean, I’m glad you brought up the Bloomberg thing. I remember there was a couple of episodes where you talked about this Bloomberg e-mail and you said to your audience that there was an e-mail that came out in the lawsuit where Bloomberg told his people: Get ready in the next 24 hours to capitalize on a mass shooting. That didn’t happen; that’s not a real e-mail, is it?
Barnes: Objection as to form.
Jones: I mean, I don’t think it’s exactly that; but there’s one similar to that.
I am always a bit baffled that there are such strong reactions against Jiang Cheng allegedly torturing and killing a bunch of demonic cultivators in a story where the actual protagonist does in fact very explicitly and unambiguously torture a bunch of people to death in truly creative and horrifying ways, which includes not only forcing a guy to eat his own legs but also feeding his fingers to an undead baby. I mean, to each their own obviously, but like, this is where we’re going to draw the proverbial line in the sand?

Summary: The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter has unintentionally rescued you from raiders- at least that’s what you thought. Now he’s agreed to escort you back to civilization. You’ve got secrets you need to keep and he seems to be carrying one of his own. After a major betrayal, is he your enemy or your lover?
This is an incredible story, I’m obsessed. I binged the 16 posted chapters and eagerly await the next installment of this amazingly written series.
The author has a brilliant talent here—they’ve written a perfect Mando, developed a reader that’s strong and stubborn and has an interesting mystery of a backstory, and has written some seriously fantasticsmut.
This is the kind of story—of writing—that makes me come back to tumblr again and again. The dialogue is also of note, the writer delivers excellent exchanges with realistic prose. I’m in awe of the story and I’m so grateful to have found it.
Tomorrow a remake of Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind is releasing on the Switch which will actually be the third version of the game to be published by Nintendo. It was first released on the Famicom Disk System in 1989, then through the Super Famicom’s Nintendo Power service in 1998 and finally the version releasing on the Switch. Fun to see how the franchise’s art style has evolved over the years.
