If anything, Skywalker Ranch was play on Skinwalker Ranch

Dude also runs a tidy little business charging ghost and paranormal hunters thousands of dollars a pop to "investigate" the ranch and poo poo.

Hell, if I ended up with a property "known" to be a "paranormal hotspot" I'd do the same thing. Minus the chuddery and racism.

nordic aliens, an alien encounter phenomenon from the mid-to-late 50s, sounds like it's going to be racist when you first learn about it, but it's actually mostly about proto-hippies telling stories about scandanavian looking astro hunks and space babes visting earthlings and telling us to do world peace and ban nuclear weapons

you can hate wendigoon or not like his content or think he’s dumb or whatever without trying to find evidence he’s a chud. jfc

The fact that he was a founding member of the Boogaloo Boys is a gigantic red flag. Their entire deal is agitating to kick off the next US civil war (the Boogaloo) and members have murdered several people, were involved in the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, were pretty central to the January 6 attack on the Capitol, etc etc.. Even though he left early on he's probably still being monitored by the Department of Homeland Security.

On the other hand, given that he was a big 4channer and seems to be extremely irony poisoned and terminally online on top of being dumb as hell I could totally believe that he might help start up a militia whose aim was to help start the next civil war and bring down the government "for the kek" but quickly became disillusioned when the movement started attracting people who took it seriously

I saw a video recently where someone stayed overnight at the Stanley Hotel which is one of those places that every single ghosthunting TV show and Youtube channel has spotlighted and went on one of their ghost tours and pointed out that staff members will secretly follow the tour and make spooky noises and tap on windows

Huh? that's just the stock price per share, not the market cap (total number of shares times the stock price)

Of the three Meta has the lowest market cap currently
