Everyone needs to calm down: The guy with the piece of paper was mentalist Oz Pearlman and the name on the paper was the reveal of a tableside magic trick he does as warmup before a performance. He was doing his shtick not sending a secret message.

I’m seeing a lot of people debating what the US Constitution says. Instead of parsing AI results, go to the source itself:

Yeah, journalists don’t drink like they used to, but the Pen & Pencil is more important than ever as a gathering place to share ideas and professional knowledge.

“This administration, however, is mustering the arms of government to suppress speech it doesn’t like and compel words and ideas it prefers. It sees the press not as an institution with an explicit constitutional privilege but as a barrier to overcome”

(1/X) Another thing about narcissistic sociopaths. First, let me say that the coverage of the campaign the last few months from most mainstream sources has been unconscionably bad. The general tone and focus of it suggests this is a regular election....

Can’t believe what I’m seeing — media and pundits chiding Biden et al. for speaking truthfully about the threat of Trump.

“I keep telling people: ‘Watch the speeches,’” Bannon told me recently. “When you look at the content of what he’s putting out there, he couldn’t telegraph this any more clearly: what he stands for, and what he’s up against.” https://t.co/5ViJAtY6RR
