experiencing something like time-travel in a semi-conscious state (Someday I'll own this boot)

February 2023

“There is evidence that Fox News was knowingly lying to their viewers via court filings in the defamation lawsuit against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems. According to text messages supplied in court, Fox hosts and executives privately trashed Trump and his legal team as ‘total BS’, ‘insane’, ‘mind-blowingly nuts’ or ‘reckless’ while continuing to support their baseless election fraud claims on the air.

The very same Fox News anchors who constantly accused the so-called mainstream media of lying were themselves lying to their viewers and were admitting behind closed doors that they were lying to their viewers.

And this supposed evidence they were giving for these claims was transparently insane on its face. Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, for instance, told Fox ahead of one appearance that her sole source for her election conspiracy claims was experiencing something ‘like time-travel in a semi-conscious state’.

The lawsuit also revealed that Trump tried to call into Fox on January 6th, but the network refused to put him on air because they viewed it as ‘irresponsible’ and ‘could impact a lot of people in a negative way’. That is the most polite euphemism I’ve ever heard. That’s like Hannibal Lecter describing himself in his Tinder bio as a foodie with an adventurous palate.” —Seth Meyers

“There is a new report from the Department of Energy, which concluded that the Covid-19 virus originated from an accidental lab leak in China. However, the report’s conclusion, which diverges from other government studies on the emergence of the virus, was made with ‘low confidence’. How can you conclude something with low confidence? That’s not a conclusion. I think the word you’re looking for is guess.” —Hasan Minhaj

“A reminder to people touchdown dancing about the lab leak theory: the energy department is one of nine intelligence groups that have assessed Covid’s origins. Two of those concluded a likely lab leak, five said natural causes and two said they don’t know. And you know what? I personally side with them. I don’t know what the fuck is going on. FBI says this, NIC says that. I’m holding out until the Department of Motor Vehicles chimes in.” —Hasan Minhaj

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
