every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

Not to mention: When asked about these pardons, Trump frequently expresses little to no awareness that they have happened. Who is orchestrating the pardons, and how?
Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

It’s one thing to believe in the abstract that authoritarian, fascist, or personalist regimes displace expertise for loyalty, it’s entirely a different thing to watch it happen all over the place in your country.

William Faulkner once said, "The 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' is worth any number of old ladies." Behold the Faulkner Scale: judging a work by how many women were stomped on to get it.

The more women, the more clarity.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Calling RFK "The Most Powerful Man in Science" is like calling Jason Voorhees "The Most Powerful Man in Camp Counseling."
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

G: No, no, no… death is not. Death isn’t. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can’t not be on a boat.
R: I’ve frequently not been on boats.
G: No, no… what you’ve been is not on boats.

the fact that dealing with rampant lying and its much worse downstream consequences involves cultivating values rather than just imposing formal frameworks or rules (legal or otherwise) is a tough pill to swallow for some. but it is indeed medicine
Pointing out that something is incorrect definitely isn't sufficient - the *culture* of "it is bad to make incorrect statements, good to promptly and clearly retract and apologize for them, and disqualifying to keep making them deliberately" is the framework needed for fact-checking to plug into.
