@skinnylatte It's been interesting to see the extent to which Epoch has penetrated parts of North America in recent years. I wonder to what extent it's been able to broaden the appeal of MAGA and whether this has been successful.

@skinnylatte Is it connected with Epoch Times or similar, or is it something else?

@skinnylatte This might be true if one's media diet is sensationalist media sources like tabloids.

The contrast I'd draw: European tabloids in languages I can read focus a more lot on the sensational things happening within their borders or the "shit" countries nearby. N. America is too far away to care. Many tabloids are pro-America.

Higher brow media (language caveat) tends to be a little less sensationalist. Most U.S. skeptics I've met formed it from their own experiences in the U.S.

@skinnylatte What are your favorite places around the Bay Area?

@eaton This precise conversation is happening at my job with an internal platform. I keep telling these folks: we don’t even have any APIs; let’s build some and not get ahead of ourselves! It’s kind of mind numbing.
