Q faithful ODing on copium by expecting Hillary's arrest any day now, making next Wednesday the new goalpost.
My current belief is that Q will, for the most part, simply sublimate back into Evangelical Christianity
That's... not a good thing? But it is a thing. Definitely a thing.
Obviously some True Believers and random grifters will hold the torch for years/decades, but at the moment they're extremely directionless and demoralized. A least-damage scenario is that the prolonged, slow loss followed by a weak, deflated Trump means most of them just... stop.
The core problem is that separate from the specific lore of Q, which will probably fade with its Q Clock divination and adrenochrome harvesting, the mindset is already deep into the marrow of the GOP, and that's not going away.

The Biden COVID task force is particularly interesting to me because it suggests that the Biden/Harris transition team are just going to immediately start operating like the Executive branch in any capacity that they can.
And, thing is, they probably can get away with a lot?
And this creates a weird situation because the current executive is 1) dysfunctional, 2) only likely to become more so over the next couple months, and 3) when not dysfunctional actively evil.
So "it's not official yet, but let's just listen to the new guy" is REAL appealing.
But does that then create a precedent for new admins to basically start soft-governing before the EC has even met, or does everyone just go "no, that was a 2020 thing, it was a strange year"?
"If you manually place your ad breaks, avoid placing breaks at disruptive points
Ah, yes, because the auto-place system is so good at choosing non-disruptive moments like <squints> 44 seconds into the video.
Seriously @TeamYouTube, I can't tell which I hate worse, the midrolls less than a minute into a video or the midrolls immediately before the credits, but both have to go.
What's happening is so many creators like to have a cold open, then play a small title card, and that creates exactly the kind of pause that the auto-placement looks for. But the system isn't considering how users actually use the system.
Okay, so, I was re-watching some of James Randi's debunkings and I got to his encounter with James Hydrick and, wait, something's off about this... he's not... is he...?
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh nooooooooo.
Now, maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing in the life of this convicted child molester, but, yes, James Hydrick used to goose his psychic act by putting on "oriental" makeup.
Between the original production, promotion, reshoots, distribution, Snyder Cut, and god knows what else, this is going to have cost WB almost $600 million.
Parent AT&T is already over-leveraged AF and getting desperate, so definitely nothing good.
The Q faithful have started showing up in the comments, and this one long heartbreaking post is, I think, a good example of synthesis and integration (in addition to many, many, many other things)
The thing I want to call attention to is the "only 9% of child abductions are reported."
At some point a Q pundit made some ludicrous claim about how many kids are abducted from white, middle class, American neighbourhoods every year. It get repeated credulously.
Someone, at some point, pushed back and said "wait, that's a lot, way more than are actually reported." They tried to debunk with facts (reporting numbers) and logic (parents would be looking for their kids). Instead that debunking gets folded into the mythology.
As I've been talking a lot about the hangups in captioning on YouTube lately, it's deeply unfortunate that they've decided to drop this (flawed) feature rather than improving it.
The main reason they're discontinuing is "low use". The issues with the community captions system which contribute to that low use are that it's vulnerable to abuse and it's largely invisible to channel owners.
The alerts system has been broken for ages, now. Either you get a notification with every single subscription (i.e. potentially hundreds of thousands or even millions) or you get none.
