It’s amusing that anti-intellectualism and artificial intelligence can both be abbreviated as AI because the way the latter is being marketed to the masses is “why don’t you just stop thinking?”

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.
We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.
It's great, I love it.

To Trump, all it takes to be a “radical left hater” who’s disrespecting him is literally just saying empathy is a good thing

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

there needs to be a specific term for this, for when successful countermeasures are later taken as evidence that the issue was overblown. See: Y2K, the Ozone Hole, Vaccines. Hindblight or something.
DAMMIT NPR.
I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.
Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

Every conservative woman I’ve ever met has complained that they don’t have many female friends. Genuine question, is there a reason why they don’t just, like, befriend each other?
