Larry Summers? The economist? They're merely talking about sports here!
Larry Summers and Epstein plotting: Summers apparently wants to send a note to "her" (investigator? media?) but Epstein chastises him and explains that a note looks suspicious and face-to-face is better

tbf no one liked schumer before. The most we liked him was:

a.) two days ago when he lost a vote.
b.) when he finally started posting tiktok-style videos and cussing

And even then he was at like 20% approval

But who best to replace? He’s more progressive than he appears. His prob is out of touch.
List of most progressive Senators. Schumer is 23rd. Warren is 1st.

"Now that you know more of the facts, it's time for you to think carefully and decide what you think of the king. Don't just trust the person with the loudest trumpet." - Kash Patel, in wizard form

Is this why the LOTR references are there? Because they dog-whistle to these fucking QAnon-adjacent books?

The third book, "The Plot Against the King 3: The Return of the King" 'is the final book in the Plot Against The King Trilogy. This book continues the silly yet important journey of the MAGA King as he returns to take down Comma-la-la-la and reclaim his throne.'

The second book, "The Plot Against the King 2,000 Mules" 'tells the fantastical story of how two inquisitive minds, Dinesh and Debbie, search for the truth and uncover evidence of a terrible scheme to elect Sleepy Joe instead of King Donald on Choosing Day.'

Kash Patel has also (I shit you not) authored three children's books, a series called "The Plot Against the King". The first one was released in 2022, regarding the Steele dossier.

The investigation is called "The Quest for the Truth about the Plot against the King".

"In October 2022, Patel met Alexis Wilkins, a country singer, at an event as part of the ReAwaken America Tour. They began dating in January 2023"

What's the ReAwaken America Tour? A far-right and Christian nationalist movement launched in 2021 by entrepreneur Clay Clark and Michael Flynn.

reminds me of 'sinners in the hand of an angry god'
The use of this awful subject may be for awakening unconverted persons in this congregation. This that you have heard is the case of every one of you that are out of Christ.—That world of misery, that lake of burning brimstone, is extended abroad under you. There is the dreadful pit of the glowing flames of the wrath of God; there is hell’s wide gaping mouth open; and you have nothing to stand upon, nor any thing to take hold of, there is nothing between you and hell but the air; it is only the power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up. You probably are not sensible of this; you find you are kept out of hell, but do not see the hand of God in it; but look at other things, as the good state of your bodily constitution, your care of your own life, and the means you use for your own preservation. But indeed these things are nothing; if God should withdraw his band, they would avail no more to keep you from falling, than the thin air to hold up a person that is suspended in it. Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead, and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards hell; and if God should let you go, you would immediately sink and swiftly descend and plunge into the bottomless gulf, and your healthy constitution, and your own care and prudence, and best contrivance, and all your righteousness, would have no more influence to uphold you and keep you out of hell, than a spider’s web would have to stop a falling rock. Were it not for the sovereign pleasure of God, the earth would not bear you one moment; for you are a burden to it; the creation groans with you; the creature is made subject to the bondage of your corruption, not willingly; the sun does not willingly shine upon you to give you light to serve sin and Satan; the earth does not willingly yield her increase to satisfy your lusts; nor is it willingly a stage for your wickedness to be acted upon;

Isn't this article prematurely saying that ChatGPT caused this, rather than just "people are using ChatGPT instead of Google to look things up"

This paper (and table) look into this same kinds of trends but for Google searches:
