Women are using dating apps to discover their queer sexuality

this is such a perfect encapsulation of why media companies are failing right now - they’re looking to vanity metrics divorced from reality to solve immediate business challenges. to suggest that individual reporters be responsible for repeat user site visits is a joke

QAnon’s original belief in a secret group that dominates the world and kidnaps/abuses children sounds familiar to anyone with a basic knowledge of the history of anti-Semitism. So I wrote about the ways the movement echoes centuries of hate towards Jews:

QAnon builds on centuries of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that put Jewish people at risk

Is QAnon anti-Semitic? The conspiracy theory movement builds off of anti-Semitic tropes and false claims that have circulated worldwide for centuries.

the far right continues to show how they can adapt to distract + attract new audiences depending on what's happening in the mainstream. pizzagate --> qanon --> save the children --> stop the steal --> anti-vaxx --> anti-trans, the cycle continues

For those asking how the extremist forums/chats are looking 12 hours after the 1/6 hearings. Users are aware the hearings broke through to "normies," but they're not worried about it. Far-right extremist spaces have moved onto full-time anti-trans panic. It has consumed them.

"Guys and gals, I'm losing my everloving mind right now. Is this really happening?" "So, was Q just one big lie and psyop that I foolishly followed and believed for over 3 years?" For some QAnon believers, today was the beginning of the end.
