the thing which gives the game away on scientific racism is that if we discovered an island where everyone was gravely intellectually disabled and some guy said, "great, let's make them our slaves," we would beat him to death with hammers but if you say that about actual people it's taken seriously

If you've visited command sites in the UK you'll probably recognise the key elements already.

We started in the filter room, where the information from various sources was collected, screened, and made sense of. That meant a clear picture could be disseminated to the other functions.

The TX redistricting dissent from Judge Jerry Smith is in. It's....a lot. He calls out the "pernicious judicial misbehavior" of Judge Brown (a Trump appointed judge) who wrote yesterday's opinion.

This is the post-shame era solidifying itself in journalism. The hold-outs did their best not to debase themselves and chase clicks and pageviews and "attention," but they're being driven out of the profession by private equity and dwindling revenue as the Alphabet-Meta monopoly hoovers up ad $$.

The issue with bubbles isn't that they're built completely on hoaxes. A few may be, but most are built on overexcitement about a very real technology and its promises. People just get way ahead of themselves, and think that everything that glitters must be gold.
