QAnon, on top of its other faults, has homogenized the conspiracy theory space, filling it with the ugliest allegations possible while sanding down all the edges to make it palatable to sundowning boomers. It's a sandwich with no dressing. So of course I celebrate this new entry into the field.

Returning, for pleasure (of course) to the famous [?] Theosophical 'Mahatma Letters' of 1880–84. Only here can you find great stuff like murky references to the 'pillow incident'.
