to be 100% clear this is exciting research and it gets me pumped to see more linguistic interest in lesbian/bisexual women!

I wonder how the bisexual results might shift if these studies also took on a community of practice style analysis - I get the sensitivity in bi communities around asking about dating history or friend groups, but given the significance of CoP in other sociophonetic studies it seems relevant?

Reading about “the persistent link between contemporary far-right politics and ‘alternative’ health and wellness” while watching the MAHA agenda unfold in real time and cannot recommend this paper enough, even if just for the incredible lit review on masculinity, the body, and fascism

Yes. All the empirics on misinformation indicate that the way to defeat bad ideas is to mock and marginalize them. Constantly declaring "hey the far right isn't so bad" is a terrible strategy both morally and electorally.
Dems should be way more comfortable saying "look at these fucking psychos"

Progressives really hope, and maybe even believe, that there is some magic thing they can hijack to attract conservative voters.
The focus on this mythical quest is the central reason they lose.

I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters.
We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

you can't talk about US politics and polling honestly without having a conversation about how the American news and information diet is comprised of infotainment sewage and agitprop.
Yet you could pluck literally any news story from the feed and find ZERO mention of Republican propaganda successes.

The language that politicians always use to respond to allegations of racism, such as "I'm not racist in my heart," is always premised on the idea that there is a pure, stable interior self that can be abstracted from the way it acts in the world. We are all post-Enlightenment Protestants.
