We don’t even know what we don’t know. The Tim Heidecker Podcast will never hide the truth. Watch now on InfoWars.
Four individuals are sitting in a recording studio, wearing headphones and speaking into microphones. The text overlay includes: 

1. "They're suppressing it for sure. There's some suppression that's taking place."
2. "I just read—I think we know something like, 80% of the information that they do have is being classified."
3. "It's fucking crazy."
4. "Dude, the fucking shit that's been classified. Like, dude, you don't even know half of it."

They were that way last year too, though, especially as the year went on. Ben I think sees the passing game as a way to set up the ground game rather than the other way around lol

Can't stand the narrative around how week two was a step back for the offense, in slightly better conditions they put up 30+. In a hurricane they were 3 flukes away from putting up 20. Against a good defense with a backup QB they put up 27 lmao

I worry that he's going to be so good at everything else that his tendency to spray the ball is going to be what keeps him out of the true generational superstar conversation. Being wrong would be a lot of fun though...

Agree with you on most of this stuff, but this is a voting-related parody of the minecraft end credits that appears to be "hard coded", not some blend of the LLM's (assuredly pro-trump) context and the minecraft prompt.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Yup, 3 fluke plays away from giving up 20 instead. Football is always that way I guess, but more so than usual in that game.

Stories like this really make it clear how Democrats as a party, often out of fear of appearing puritanical or performative, cowed into those fears by the right, abdicate their moral positions. Dems should be leading the charge on good faith regulation here rather than leaving it to the nutjobs.

It's really something that the NYT prints the ",like," in an AOC quote verbatim, but will gleefully edit out two and a half minutes of senescent sun-downing word-salad from Trump in order to pull quote the only coherent sentence in the whole thing and present that as the thing he said

Seemed like maybe he felt the defender closing in over the top and wanted to make sure the ball was secure? Sure seems like he could've reached out and scored otherwise

Every news outlet shames itself by using the word “skeptic.” Skeptic implies someone waiting for evidence, not someone committed to ignoring it. Vaccine denialism does not deserve to be lent the prestige of critical thinking.
