Oh my gosh! That essay from The Cut was breathtaking.
Really appreciate your link roundup (as always).
The Slate article about QAnon (“who doesn’t want to protect children and restore order”) really hit home for me as I recently learned that some loved ones have fallen into that mess. While the article doesn’t do anything to change that horrifying reality, it gave me some perspective about how alluring those lies are right now, even (especially?) to otherwise kind, compassionate and thoughtful people.
Ugh.
