I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens

npr.org/2021/06/25/101… BINGO Card: star = highlighted Nick Fuentes Speaks at Major
Ladies, Gentlemen, NBs: we have BEES

I repeat

We have BEES

(thank you @SpaceyO2)

nbcnews.com/pop-culture/po… The exact same picture as above, but with BEES highlighted
(I'm going to die mad about my phrasing of the "Trump Attempts a Coup" space because I feel like it's the thing that's gonna prevent me from a blackout victory this year)
Getting questions about the fascism in Congress square: People have ABSOLUTELY been giving fashy speeches in there but we need an explicit endorsement to check that box, otherwise it's basically cheating to put that as a 2021 prediction

The bingo card is no fun if it's easy
(mind you it's not really fun at all, given the circumstances, but what can you do)

The water is beautiful. The beach steps away. The weather perfect

And I am watching Trump give a speech at the "Save America Rally" in Ohio like the goddamn degenerate I am

Let's see what happens
I'm especially interested in Trump's speech because, a few days ago, DeSantis beat Trump in a straw poll

Will Trump bring it up? Congratulate DeSantis? State his intentions?

I predict he'll congratulate DeSantis but not rule out running in 2024

Currently watching on Newsmax where I was just treated to a commercial for testosterone replacement, helping poor elderly Jewish people, and prostate supplements.

Trump is running late on speaking, as usual

“The city and state government allowed thousands of people to fall through the cracks for months and months. It’s too late to address this harm with a basic program that only lasts a few weeks."

The eviction crisis didn't start with COVID. Eviction Lab estimates that landlords evicted a million people every year between 2000 and 2016--and that data doesn't include New York or California, neither of which provide eviction stats
Census surveys suggest that 4 million Americans could lose their housing in the next 2 months. Over 10 million are behind on rent

Congress has allocated funds for rent relief, but in many states, the relief has yet to arrive

After eviction, the relief doesn't make a difference

In a tense conversation with family today, I suddenly realized that people have a lot of misunderstanding around the interviewer-interviewee relationship in news articles

I both write articles and have been the subject of articles. Let's talk about it:
Most of the time, reporters don't write articles because the subject of the article asked them to. The reporter decided to write about the subject (or the news outlet asked them to)

Then they go look for someone to interview about the subject
If the potential interviewee says yes and does the interview, that's the end of their involvement in the article

That's true when I interview people

It's true when people interview me

It's true across the profession, as far as I can tell

The flashing lights go off just outside La Paz and you pull over. You get your Google Translate ready

The police officer tells you that it is illegal to drive with a busted-out rear windshield
You explain to the cop that you were robbed a few days ago and the shop can't fix the window until Tuesday, 5 days from now

The cop says he has to uphold the law and give you a citation, and you say it's bullshit to treat you like a criminal for falling victim to a crime
The cop tells you the police report you show him is no good because it's from Cabo San Lucas and you should have stayed there to get the window fixed.

You show the cop your insurance letter sending you to a repair shop in La Paz

He does not give a single shit, obviously

Hi there, here's a thing I wrote in the immediate aftermath of the Jeremy Dawson doxxing incident

I had--and have--complicated feelings about it. The recent WaPo article does a very good job of capturing the weirdness of the whole thing, I think

Here's the footage I took on November 14th--all 15 excruciating minutes

I am thankful to have been working with @Johnnthelefty that night, who's about the best guy imaginable in situations like this and whose work you should definitely check out

Here's the WaPo article by @RobertKlemko if you're interested:

Sitting here watching BehindEnemyLines livestream from inside a parking garage acting like he's under siege with Black Rebel and Haley Adams

OMG they're calling 911
"Antifa have blocked our car in and we're being held hostage," BehindEnemyLines tells 911 oh my god

"It feels like we are sitting prey"

The operator tells them it might be a little while because of the demonstration
The 911 operator recommends they leave their car and leave on foot. "This is an emergency!"

"They have us surrounded and they have weapons"

The operator asks them where they are, then says he'll let the police know
