the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

the guy doing the dildo slapping is "PP," aka "The Vape Ape," a pusher of the conspiracy theory that a series of children's books contain hidden messages insinuating that all defunct Bed Bath & Beyond shares will be reinstated and more valuable than NVIDIA. Pulte had him MCing much of this event

. @jamellebouie.net's point about the "war on knowledge itself" is true and under-appreciated It’s one thing for an administration to discard evidence; it’s something else when it embraces willful ignorance and deliberately denies itself access to information it needs but doesn’t want. For example:
