Not just weird, but disturbing that they're ok with a bunch of clueless people having access to social security numbers.
A whole bunch of people who were totally cool with posting the addresses of NIH/CDC employees during COVID are now absolutely apoplectic that people would publish the mere names of people forcing their way into government agencies and accessing sensitive data.

Weird, huh?

This is a truly remarkable clip. If you mercifully haven't seen video of Thiel before, let me assure you this isn't normal for him. I haven't seen flop sweat like this since the Nixon/Kennedy debate.
Good morning to everyone who likes seeing Peter Thiel so so so scared ONLY
