LOL “instead”…no, bby. Not instead.

Matt Yglesias’ entire life has been a vast Truman Show-esque illusion puppeteered by CIA operatives and everyday he comically stumbles onto clues that this is true but never connects the dots.

“Wow, every single one of my friends and associates seem to be spook-adjacent, have all the same interests as spooks, and yet they’re all just simple normal professionals with job titles like Cultural Attache or Trade consultant for Universal Exports’ Yemen office…wierd.”

Doesn’t the CIA simply take orders from big companies?

All the CIA is good for is arming right wing terrorists and pretending to be good at spying.

It’s more likely the SEC guy is with the SEC and is simply traveling to take bribe money.

I mean come on, the CIA is dumb as shit. There is no way they could have predicted anyone would read Matty on Twitter. They couldn’t even manage to kill Castro!

The NSA on the other hand…

He’s incredibly dumb. It’s like if reddit was a rich Harvard failson.

Matt Yglesias’s phone is blowing up right now with so many texts from people he knew at Dalton and Harvard, and his old coworkers at the Atlantic, like “Hey buddy! I was just thinking about you for no particular reason at all and wanted to check in and see how you’re doing!”
