AI saved me a bunch of time by coming up with this list of What a bad-faith request for evidence looks like.
What a bad-faith request for evidence looks like • Moving the goalposts: You provide evidence to support your point, and the other person immediately dismisses it, demanding a different kind or higher standard of proof. The required evidence becomes an endless, moving target. • Cherry-picking: The person focuses on a tiny, insignificant detail of your evidence to attack its credibility while ignoring the main point or larger body of evidence. • Refusing to engage: The person repeatedly asks for evidence, but when you provide it, they ignore or dismiss it without explanation and move on to a new point. • Demanding unreasonable proof: They ask for proof that is impossible to provide, like a single document for a well-documented historic event, then claim the event didn't happen because you can't produce that one item. • Faking ignorance: They pretend not to understand a concept or a piece of evidence, forcing you to repeatedly explain basic information instead of engaging with the actual argument. • Using a "gotcha" approach: The person's intent is to trap you with a logical inconsistency rather than to seek the truth. Their questions are designed to set you up, not to clarify their own understanding.

A few years ago I saw the #nobelprize of #sinclairlewis, the guy who wrote “It Can’t Happen Here.” Turns out, it can.
Back side of Nobel prize. A gold medal with figures dressed in loose robes and with laurel crowns, one seated and a standing figure playing lure. There are words in a non-English language around the edge. Front side of Nobel prize, with a bust in profile labeled Alfr. Nobel

Documentary on late queer musician Dean Johnson, “The Big Johnson” shows at the Roxie in SF on Sunday August 24 at 3pm as part of the #sanfrancisco Queer Film Festival.

https://roxie.com/film/sfqff-program-10-feature-documentary/
THE BIG JOHNSON THE WILD LIFE AND MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF DRAG NIGHTLIFE LEGEND DEAN JOHNSON THE BIG JOHNSON (95 MIN) Directed by Lola Rocknrolla Dean Johnson was a famous New York drag queen, rock star, sex party promoter and late in life escort. In 2007 Dean went on a job and never came back. Was it just an accidental OD, Dean had a history of drug use or was it something more sinister? Another escort died in the same apartment four days earlier. The mystery of his death is only part of Dean Johnson's wild life. Dean was the first in many things, the first bald drag queen, the first to throw sex parties in the 80s during the AIDS crisis, the first openly gay singer on Island records (which cost him his record deal).
