Jordan Sather, a prominent promoter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, suggested that Swift’s life had been orchestrated as part of a sinister plot to encourage her fans to vote.

There a few other people quoted in there but it's all the same sinister plan they are proposing: The psyop is encouraging people to vote.

Republicans see large voter turnout as a bad thing because they are less popular than they want you to think they are. This is not new, it's just a new target.

Hephaestus seems the most likely to leave me alone. The gods are so capricious that I'd prefer to not have their attention.

They said he couldn't move the Georgia RICO case to federal court, making it less likely that any other defendant will be able to, either. It can still go to the Supreme Court which may change things. Saved you a click.

This article just discusses another article that's behind a paywall. It says the first type of person is goodwilled Republicans who want to believe Trump isn't a terrible person so they believe / justify whatever is required to maintain that belief. Unless I missed it, it doesn't discuss the second type of person. I presume it's terrible people who believe Trump has done terrible things but they lie that because they're terrible.

I believe they are pointing out that, despite the fact that this is being done by a group that is trying to make Trump look bad, it will be viewed as making him look good to those on the far right. They like dictators so long as they're part of the in-group.

I mean, you can, though. Maybe you shouldn't do it, but that's only if the negative consequences outweigh the positive.

I suspect you would enjoy the story of Furbeowulf.

Several bodily functions that involve expelling fluids feel good in moderation. Pooping, peeing, sneezing, even vomiting can be nice if it's the kind that makes you feel so much better afterwards. Try doing any of those several times in a row or once for a very long time, though, and it overtaxes you body and starts to hurt. There was even a paper I read (and just went and found it again) that studied the time it takes for the pleasure to turn to displeasure through repetition or duration.

You can thank Norman Vincent Peale for that.
