I would actually love to see a series of videos from him explaining how fantasy and propaganda work. I’ve been waiting for more meta-propaganda to show up.

Last line in the last verse is news that stays news.

That’s not Don Draper--that’s a gracefully aging Tobey Maguire.

I feel like there must be a backstory on why this was the main inspiration for The Rock’s wax figure
