A). No, it’s not my blog, and B). Alex Wellerstein is an academic with a PhD, and a published author on the subject of the history of secrecy and nuclear weapons, and C). the blog itself is very well-sourced.  

What frustrates me so much about this is that most of the things I. The movie that seem unbelievable really are true, but this one is a steaming pile of bull excrement.

Thank you for posting this; I did sooner but I’m still in the grays after all these years. 🤬

Yikes.  I’m happily married, but if I was still dating, I’d prune out anyone with any sort of online following.

Eh, her tantrum about a bad Pitchfork review where she basically called all critics losers was a hint.

Except it’s not true.

Why not? Assholes come in every gender, skin tone, ethnicity, and body type.

Exactly. I don’t expect food styling, but I do expect the real life item to contain roughly the same amount of the various ingredients. Anecdotally, I do find Taco Bell to be worse about this than other fast food places.

I think she will end up in one episode before the show is done for good, as long as she doesn’t have something weird in her contract on Mythic Quest that would prevent it.
