I have no idea who you are. I was just introduced to your ufo article and subscribed and now read your Beatles one.

They're both amazing. I love them. Please continue, I love this shit

Random is fine, agreed. It’s fun to have a new thing. I don’t know why this exists but I’m glad it does.

I have no need for you to stick to a schedule; I kinda like the randomness. This post was fantastic.

Always love your work and usually make it through to the end (it's me not you). The randomness makes it delightful and exciting - never know when a new one will drop! IMO you can chill on obsessing over regular posting (but keep the running joke).

I cannot stand the UFO shit.

Really. I can’t. It is so, so, so obviously a never-ending rabbit hole of mass deception; pure confabulation; whimsical thinking; and delusions of grandeur...on top of the sheer lucridity -is that a word?- how cough gurus cough capitalized on mistrust, wellness, “alternative” spaces, and pastel yoga-Q. Preying on vulnerable people as well as an addendum (not all, but some, are absolutely what I would consider vulnerable: outcasts, spiritual-seekers looking for meaning, etc.)

Looking forward to more. Great work.

You only have to spread a lie roughly seven times in this media environment before people start to believe it, thanks to how powerfully media can amplify a message. At one point, I saw a video of Roger Stone saying this exact thing. Then he got indicted and went to jail and mass media managed to bury the video on YouTube. So it's not just a problem with lies being amplified, it's also a problem with the truth being buried under avalanches of media.
