Is it possible there’s not really much of story there? Or at least not enough verified info/identities for journalists to report on?

I’m not trying to discount the story, it’s just this reads a little like some conspiracy claims can sound where the lack of evidence is cited as proof of the conspiracy.

I don’t know how ‘they’ would bury it from the likes of journalists if it was all over Twitter?

I looked it up and it appears the only news on it has come from Tucker Carlson. Any reputable stories to get me caught up?

This particular Stephenson is mentioned in the song Steph(v)enson by The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing.

Not to be confused with Stephenson, Stevenson or Stevenson.

Love the idea. Might I suggest you do a little work on site Accessibility? A quick look suggest that this site would not be usable for people with some visual impairment.

As an example: On mobile at least, on the homepage the white text on each article card does not have enough contrast against the image behind it in a lot of cases. https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/contrast-minimum.html

If you use the Chrome Developer Tools, you can run an Accessibility Audit on each page which will raise some key recommendations around this.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) has a rating system of A, AA and AAA in ascending order of how accessible a site is. You can see how to meet these standards here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/quickref/

AAA and even AA can be quite tricky to meet, but perhaps start with A? This would then make your site usable by people with various disabilities and associated accessibility needs.
