The whole tone of TFA is super frustrating. The original story is funny, well written, and, well, a story meant to be told "over drinks at a conference". TFA misses all the humor and generally seems to be written by a very bitte

I didn't claim any of those things were specific to Project 2025. We've known about RFK Jr all along so yes, if somebody is surprised by the secretary of health being anti-vax, that somebody is irresponsibly ignorant. If that some

It's one of the worst takes I've ever seen, and there are a lot of bad takes out there. Even the premise of their argument is silly -- "evidence-based extrapolation" lmao that's not how politics work at all.
