    This is an excellent analogy, how far right meme culture is very much like SF/fantasy superfans, who compete to outdo one another in how obscure the references they make can be.https://twitter.com/NGrossman81/status/1370602170941341698 …

    Great example of how right-wing media has become like superfans of a fictional universe, where people speak in references that only others like them get. In this case, you need to know Biden set July 4 as a target for mostly normal life, and you need to know why that’s oppressive pic.twitter.com/kUpKAFTCid

        That's a relief. I thought briefly that it was a Bowie reference, and the idea of Ted Cruz being cool enough to use a Bowie reference was hurting my brain.

        Replying to @JillianAtLast

        Yeah, that star does look a lot like the cover of David Bowie's final album before he died, but the steak on a grill rather led me to believe that Cruz was not referencing it...

        That's similar to @SethAbramson's hypothesis, that QAnon is an Alternate Reality Game.https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1339045051859677186 …

        QAnon is an ARG (Alternate Reality Game). It was set up that way and is managed that way. QAnoners are playing an ARG and refuse to stop for the very reason transreality gaming can be hazardous: you can forget what's game and what's reality. QAnoners are lost in a dangerous game.
