Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Cracker Barrel American Eagle War on Christmas: the right needs us to loathe them because that's central to their identity and operations, and if we don't they'll just fabricate it. Not news, but here's a new case of that:
American Eagle was dragged into an online outrage cycle after conservative media figures claimed that liberals were offended by the clothing company's ads featuring Sydney Sweeney and a denim-themed pun about her "great jeans."
We checked the data. That wasn't true.

I think by “PhD-level expert” they mean at the end of the semester when he just wants you to get the hell out of his office so he can finish grading, crush a burrito bowl and two Blue Moons on the way home, and go to bed early.
“A legitimate PhD-level expert in anything,” they said.
“Show me a diagram of the US presidents since FDR, with their names and years in office under their photos,” I said.

Anti-Israel sentiment is often treated as if it's a) the product of mass antisemitism or b) weird hypnosis whose tricks we'll never understand.
