Posobiec’s glow up from “crying Pizzagate streamer” to “conservative movement power broker” explains so much about political developments over the past ~8 years—especially what has become mainstream Republican politics

Oh, I totally forgot: Vance also blurbed Jack Posobiec’s “Unhumans” book, the one that casts leftists as agents of “unhumanity.” Unity, folks! 🙃

a far right conspiracy theorist broke into nancy pelosi’s house and beat her husband with a hammer and he and most of the party made jokes about it

If a Democrat had been the target of an assassination attempt, can anyone plausibly imagine a Trump statement that did not denigrate and equivocate?

Please don’t “both sides” the “violent political rhetoric” conversation when one side regularly glorifies and intimidates with guns and the other side speaks out to end gun violence. These are not the same.

When in doubt, refer to the @onthemedia.bsky.social Breaking News Consumer's Handbook:

First and foremost, everyone needs to hold onto the fact that it is WAY too early to know what actually happened here. That being said, buckle the fuck in, because the finding out, discourse about, & fallout from it going to be a fucking MESS. "Trump Rushed Off Stage… After What Sounded Like Shots"

Live Election Updates: Trump Rushed Off Stage at Rally After What Sounded Like Shotswww.nytimes.com The former president was escorted into his motorcade at his rally in Butler, Pa., a rural town about an hour north of Pittsburgh.

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

These guys are traitors to the republic just like their heroes Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee

This article contains a couple of hilarious misunderstandings ('Decompression' is a technique, not a movement) but is otherwise a fascinating insight into one of the most revered and complex comics creators of the 20th century.

Gorsuch literally wrote, in almost those exact same words, "In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."

Never thought I'd see it IRL. Amazing.

There is perhaps no greater proof for the decline of “quality” newspapers and magazines than Jesse Singal. These outlets have never been great (politically) but now expertise has been almost entirely supplanted by Thinky Thoughts.

Richard Lynn’s racist national IQ data sets and papers that use them should be retracted. New piece in Stat News from @dsamorod.bsky.social, @stairwaytokevin.bsky.social, @jedidiahcarlson.com, James Lingford, @rebeccasear.bsky.social, Cathryn Townsend, and me

Journals that published Richard Lynn's racist 'research' articles should retract themwww.statnews.com Richard Lynn's work has been repeatedly condemned for using flawed methodology and deceptively collated data to support racism. It's past time to retract the studies.

Not the biggest problem, but the NYC media practice of pretending you're talking about a general subject (college admissions, parenting, parties, friendship, etc) when you're really talking about that subject as experienced by major city dwellers making $250,000+ a year is pretty tiresome.

Richard Lynn was a pillar of 20th-century scientific racism. His magnum opus was a database of "national IQs", a menagerie of unrepresentative IQ studies with no explicit criteria for inclusion except that the results show a low IQ for Africans. This should be an open-and-shut case for retraction.
