Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

It always amuses me when Douthat — a terrible thinker and essayist who only has a perch at NYTimes because he supposedly espouses conservative views — starts complaining about a lack of meritocracy.

News orgs need to stop doing stenography for antiscience disinformers (Prasad).

Should @nytimes.com edit headlines/make substantial rewrites w/o informing readers? Should they document edits?

Here’s an egregious example + our analysis.

The New York Times aided the MAGA, anti-science FDA in its mission to undermine the public’s trust in life saving vaccines. Another example of editorial decisions undermining trust in the Grey Lady.

EXCLUSIVE: Federal tax prosecutions fell to their lowest level in decades this year, declining more than 27% from the year before as the Trump administration cut the ranks of attorneys and agents who pursue those cases, a Reuters examination has found.

Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
The part that I can't figure out is what John Roberts thinks he is doing. He used to seem to be a judge who was very attentive to appearances, I think on a theory that you can't draw too much attention to yourself without undermining your ability to continue to shape the law.

There are so many things wrong with this ruling, including the total disregard for the clear error standard. But what really gets me is the notion that legislatures can evade judicial review of their maps simply by passing them as close as possible to Election Day
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.
