"deeply weird" followed by "diving in" was beautiful and I hope that was intentional

In the age of QAnon Telegram, old tenuous relationships are quickly souring between top promoters and rookie pests. Meanwhile, Q followers have factionalized and diversified. Long-time QAnon researcher Dapper Gander (not his real name) joins us to discuss the taxonomy he's developed for the movement's adherents.

*Correction*
Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the invasion of Korea, not Tokugawa Hideyoshi.

Once upon a time in Japan, shitty landlords, high taxes, and religious persecution united a diverse band of Christians, Samurai, Ronin, and farmers under the leadership of a teenager, believed to be an Apostle, in order to rise up against the Lords of Shimabara and the Shogun himself.

2 Frenchmen at CPAC (Part Two) (E314)

Trump, members of his administration, and conservative pundits all promised the release of shocking new Epstein documents from the DOJ. Rather than fulfilling that promise, Attorney General Pam Bondi gave binders containing previously released Epstein documents to MAGA-aligned social media influencers. She then blamed the deep state for the debacle. Can the admin keep promising disclosure without ever delivering? Even some of Trump’s most passionate supporters are losing patience.

All that, plus a new Severance-inspired Jake story.
