Due to my travel schedule, I have been unable to attend the last few weeks of my podcast partner Jim Stewartson’s Sunday meetings for his Substack group, so I have asked him to join our community’s Happy Hour this week for updates from his latest reporting.

Musk’s Thoughtcrime: “Suicidal Empathy”

Jim’s work is vital, so much so that he’s the target of lawfare from the new head of the FBI Kash Patel and former national security adviser and convicted felon Mike Flynn. If you can, please help support his fight for press freedom.

More on Jim Stewartson:

In 2020, Jim Stewartson, an Emmy award-winning game developer, saw that technology he’d helped build for video gaming communities was being misused to attack Americans. From the perspective of Jim’s unique experience, the QAnon movement was leading millions of Americans into a labyrinth of lies in order to unduly influence them in ways that fractured families and threatened the very foundations of our democracy.
