That was simply brilliant and a much more enjoyable read than the Politico interview. Love your style of writing, never a dull moment as you keep us informed and entertained. Thank you!

what he didn't tell us was that he saw Stanley Kubrick, and found out from him all about how the moon landing was filmed inside of a studio

That is because Stanley is still alive and living at MBA.

My great grandfather told me the moon landing was a hoax in so many words. I was shocked my grandfather was in the trenches in World War 1 and was a victim of mustard gas. But now why haven’t we gone back?

This short story must be described as a “delightful, thought provoking romp , Mr Rappoport showed panache without being overly camp” …. and as a normally accomplished vicious conservative warrior, I do try to keep my criticisms of leftist commentators to a polite minimum on Substack …. Maybe the website emits some sort of aerosol mRNA mist from my computer which soothes my aggressive polemics ?

Very interesting interview... Hamish McKenzie in this article is a real person. Did he edit the text before it was posted, or Jon R. just followed a recipe for Freedom of Speech?

Croons out of the old tape deck. No idea how the top dog at substack scored himself the only Tesla that ran on fart gas and had a cassette deck in its dashboard console.
