Earlier this week, Elon Musk tweeted an emoji of a white rabbit and told people to follow it … Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D., explained that Musk was “explicitly” encouraging his 120 million followers to start following QAnon, “a domestic terrorism movement.” An explicit directive to follow QAnon would have gone something like, “Follow QAnon,” but she doubled down, revealing that Musk was using “memetic warfare” to conceal his creation of a network to organize violence. QAnon is most commonly associated with “Pizzagate,” which held that there was a pedophile ring being run out of a D.C. pizza shop. We’ve heard...

Wild conspiracy theories have a way of seeping into public discourse these days, thanks in part to the divided nature of U.S. politics, the growth of websites that actively promote them, such as InfoWars, and the capacity for fake news to spread virally on social media without any fact-checking or oversight.

A mysterious IT specialist, who goes by the name The Forensicator, published a detailed report that appears to disprove the theory that the DNC was hacked by Russia. The documents were copied on July 5th, five days before Seth Rich was murdered. The Forensicator summarized the complex report into 10 bullet points. The most important aspect about the report is the “estimated speed of transfer (23 MB/s)” at which the documents were copied. It’s inconceivable DNC documents could have been copied at such speed from a remote location....... This afternoon we received an email with the following message: First, I...

The Matrix Makers One year, two sequels—and a revolution in moviemaking. An exclusive look behind the scenes of 2003’s hottest flicks Jan. 6 issue — The Warner Brothers studio lot in Burbank, Calif., is frenetic on most days, but on a Thursday in early November it was really humming.
