Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity.

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!
Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

Media literacy isn’t just about fact-checking, it’s also about mindset.

Hey bsky, I’m homeless after eviction. Me, a friend, and three dogs are living in a rental van. We need help with gas and meals, as we drive to find food and camp spots daily. Anything helps! Please share.

A light anecdote about questions on what to do when its time to shit or get off the pot...
My nephew was not doing great in high school. Didn't seem like he gave two shits about it.
His parents flatly told him to just drop out if he wasn't into it and get on with his life.

The total lack of any meaningful resistance put up by university “leadership” will not stand up to scrutiny as some future interpreters seek to make sense of this time.

In an alternate universe, stronger leadership driven by mission and moral compass rather than transaction and careerism would have served as a North Star for how to proceed. But were that alternate universe in place, conditions wouldn’t have eroded to this point in the first place.
