Here’s a new fresh horror I hadn’t considered yet: not only will GOP change rules to entrench their hold on power if they gain the presidency in November, they will also entrench the detachment from reality of all Republican voters, by wrecking the machinery of objective fact gathering

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

I'm bringing the review of my novel that appeared on its release in the Los Angeles Times back to a skyline as a reintroduction of myself since a lot more people know I exist now. It was a deep critical treatment of my novel, whose significance is recognized, that appeared on a full page in print.

yeah I don't think I'd be able to rattle off a list, certainly. but I think people who come up with marketing language probably understand the difference, or have a better chance of doing so.

sort of a minor point, but note that the ad simply says a prediction can be made; it makes no claims about the accuracy of said predictions. Anyone can predict anything, getting important things consistently right is the tricky part.

"Truth tellers are the Achilles heel of collective denial. And so those who wear masks are ridiculed, scientists reporting on COVID-19 risks are cast as fearmongers, and those with long COVID are dismissed as having anxiety disorders." Fantastic piece on the tactics behind denial by sociologists.

Fun fact: the Rabbis removed the Ten Commandments out of our core liturgy (Shema &tc) bc the Jewish Christians were SOOPER into it & the Rabbis wanted to be clear that the 10 weren’t superior to the other 603 mitzvot in Torah. So we’re clear that this 👇 is Christian supremacy. & a 1A violation.

27,000 Virginia teachers have unionized, part of a public-sector labor push in what remains a private-sector right-to-work state. As Harold Meyerson notes, with Virginia’s low rate of unionization "the victory will increase the # of Virginians working under a collective bargaining agreement by 12%"

Republicans have effectively criminalized studying how information moves on the internet at the request of a handful of billionaires and racists. I was writing a book about this, but went and did some other thing. If someone wants my notes or wants to talk to me about who to talk to, let me know.

PP is an extremely important organization that has done untold good for millions of women and millions of people's lives, and although I won't defend any of those specific complaints, labelling the whole organization "bad" seems like a radical and dangerous oversimplification.

interestingly, it really wasn't until the 1940's that American culture began to treat pink as an essentially-feminine color; for hundreds of years before that intra- and postwar period, at least in American and European culture, there was no such implicit gendering of the color

almost as bad as the Romulans having social ranks like "senator" and "centurion" and other Roman characteristics, in what must be--by a wide margin--one of the least probable coincidences imaginable. for a science fiction franchise, they're pretty hit-or-miss about alien species overall.
