Last Week's Livestreams, and What's Up Next
Hi all, while I do hope to come back to long-form posting, I do want to give you a heads up about content you may have missed in the meantime. Last week was the first week of livestreams (daily at 2pm Pacfic Standard Time), and we had a lot of fun with Ryan, diving into all sorts of rabbit holes. Here’s what we covered:
Monday - What killed Officer Sicknick? (investigating the death of a police officer as a result of the January 6, 2021 events)
Tuesday - Fact Checking Konstantin Kisin on Ukraine (investigating the claims KK made on the Viva Frei podcast, and finding many of them to be dubious)
Wednesday - How bad was the DailyWire’s offer to Stephen Crowder, really?(extracting the raw text of the contract and going into detail about the overall effect of all the contractual provisions taken together)
Thursday - How good are antigen tests, really? (investigating the false positive issue with antigen tests, and how it may have affected large-scale ivermectin trials. It looks surprisingly significant)
Friday - Diving into the Marcolino ivermectin meta-analysis (we investigated the veracity of an ivermectin meta-analysis, checking how closely it held to its pre-registration, and we reconstructed its results live, using the R programming language)
This week’s stream is about to start in less than an hour, and we will dive into the unbelievable story of Alexander Mercouris, the star analyst behind The Duran.

I have a list of rabbit holes to dive into this week, but please do let me know of other topics it might be worth me & Ryan spending a couple of hours diving into.
I hope to return to long-form posting soon, until then, see you on Rumble!
Hope you return to twitter soon Alex. I hope you cover the "I am a guru decooooooder" podcast on Elon Musk. Most of it was shabby and conspiratorial and was based on youtube videos of thunderfoot. Peter Hague has written a good criticism thread on that episode but a long form "decooooding" from you would be hilarious and informative on these two operate while outsourcing their podcast research to others
I'm interested in your livestreams Alex but I started with the Konstantin Kisin one - three hours is a hell of a long time!
Obviously it's your substack etc but I think you would get more views (if that's what you're after) with 30 minutes or so.
Alternatively, and you may be doing this already and if so sorry, you might put them out as audio podcasts, assuming there's not too much visual info.
I can listen for three hours while doing other stuff eg driving, walking the dog etc, but watching stuff for three hours - there's just not enough time to do that regularly almost nonmatter how important it is. I can't be alone in that.
This is all in a spirit of trying to spread your word - I thought your ivermectin stuff on Scott Alexander was excellent, but I could not get many people to take interest and mostly that was because it was too long.
Either way, keep up the good work.
