Winners, Losers and Links
Need a snappy name for the quarterfinals round
Winners
Bomb sniffers - One day in and we are back to bomber, even jihad bomber, attacks. This is immediately after the drones in New Jersey that many suspected were sniffing for radioactive material.
Conspiracy Theorists - Particle fog, bombers, drones that vanished from the news, and bird flu cases. A steady flow of crazy news items.
Trump cabinet nominees - Calmed down a bit. The narratives that were rolling along have stopped.
Losers
Vivek - Can he bounce back after the H1B debate? Stick to DOGE.
Spam Email Producers - AI gave them a new tool, and spam is flooding not just your personal inbox but corporate systems.
British Media and Politicians - After a decade of being a suppressed story, the Pakistani rape gangs issue is mushrooming in the public sphere.

Chinese digital espionage is pretty impressive. This Salt Typhoon op will have long term effects.
Biden administration stuffing all they cant into green boondoggles before the curtain falls.

I was age 36 in 2000 and a lot of my cohort was able dodge the effects of the "emergent echo chambers" you describe. But people hitting their teens and young adulthood in the 00s and 10s got completely marinated in it. It's like talking to young people raised in a very strict and insular Baptist church.
Watching the Left casually and blatantly lie their way through the 2020s seems to be resulting in a lot of light bulbs switching on and there are a number of skeptical 20-somethings at this point. But I run into lots of people in their 30s and 40s who just can't make that leap: you have been lied to, and just about everything you've been told is a lie.
See Vivek-related post here: https://armageddonprose.substack.com/p/deport-anti-american-hedge-fund-leech. Guy sounds a little frantic and manic.
