Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

In light of the latest round of bullshit in the NYT or WaPo or other "papers of note," I offer you Gen. Sherman's words: "You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspapers, that live by falsehood and excitement; and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters, the better."

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.

I am reading Hannah Arendt right now and she makes this point. Over and over. With a freakin hammer. There are a LOT OF PEOPLE in the world very eager to pick a group and blame it for their problems, esp when they don't have a strong grasp of where those problems really come from.

Those who can, teach. Those who can't, push educators aside and scam every possible dollar out of school systems.

This is like that long-running Twitter joke where Twitter kept adding things and everyone said, "Just get rid of the the Nazis." Except now it's "Just stop hanging out with Nazis all day, boss." But he won't. He can afford to do whatever he wants, and he wants to hang with the Nazis.

This is an excellent description of the editorial failure behind The NY Times' decision to run Alina Chan's lab leak article. What's the value proposition to the readership of presenting a one-sided argument that most scientists find lacking? Did no editor bother to ask that question?
