Adams's premise is that it's always 25% {±1%], but it's never the same 25%. That's the mystery.

It's the end of newspapers as we know it.

It's sad about the paywall. It's only five dolalrs a month, but I no longer have a floppy disk slot to stuff dollar bills into.

I'm debating joining. Maybe I'll send the creds your way.

I've been signed up with Dave Rubin since the pandemic started, and it was cool back then when you could just Zoom chat with him. Maybe I'll shift those five bucks to Scott.

I'm generally against subscriptions, but Netflix broke me of my avoidance long ago, back in the 3 DVDs at a time days. Then Amazon started getting very good at delivering non-book items.

I might eventually join Twitter because there's something I'd like to say to Elon Musk about Mars. No idea how I'd pay the $8. Maybe an interbank transfer?

Is it $8 to use Twitter these days? Long ago I created a fake account so I could get a discount on something. Wonder if that account is still active?

I don't even know what that means.

Media and other institutions have turned Americans against one another, and Scott's exposing it.

There's at least two meanings, maybe more. The avowed Leftist is welcome to meet in the middle. 'Troll out the carpet'? Troll the new All-time Master Troller?

If they strike him down, he shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
