Probably too late in this case but i do wonder how much could be done by introducing some people to LARPing or even gaming communities, or heck maybe just medieval times festivals, in their area - in order to channel the obvious psychic impulses here in less socially destructive directions
I had missed this latest delirium by Adrian Vermeule on birthright citizenship
'Common law?! NAH, it's the Roman law of adoption that should govern the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution!'

"Actually, the Constitution is best understood through the framework of Roman Law" is just "Charlie Brown had hoes" for bobbleheaded law dweebs. No it isn't. That isn't true.

more confirmation that lurking clearly behind this idea of the “heritage american” is a straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country, such that vermeule has to hallucinate a framework to justify his desire to jettison the clear meaning of the 14th amendment

I love the east Bay Area. People of different races and religions live and work together to build the American Dream. We in liberal society take this for granted but the national rise of extremism stemming from online content seeks to take this away from us.

The American Beauty of the East Bay
Americanism is facing its biggest challenge from extremism. The people of the Bay Area show why its worth fighting for.

The anti-birthright citizenship element in the legal academy has all the hallmarks of a high school debate club and none of actual scholarship.

the reluctance of urbanist policymakers to acknowledge and celebrate the successes of Ras Baraka and Brandon Scott in particular is just, like, naked racism with a heaping side of ideology

Guns are the leading cause of death for young people in America — this is a five alarm fire and our leaders in Washington have ignored it for too long. Americans are tired of waiting around for Congress to decide that protecting kids matters.

There is one striking incoherence in the text: the document is all about America first.
But the very same document lists America’s “network of alliances” & “unmatched softpower” as assets, and speaks about “collective defence”.
If the US does what it describes in the doc, it will lose all that.

once again we are at a quintessentially American crossroads: are we going to accept or reject the understanding of who we’ve become in the last 80-odd years — a superpower built on the “rocket fuel”of pluralism, opportunity, rule of law, & intolerance of charlatans and scoundrels? where’s the tar?

Very interesting Gelman blog suggesting that a good amount of the "Mississippi Miracle" is selection bias (holding back lowest performers, who then don't take the 4th grade test) rather than improved learning

Physicians and academics often believe that they/we are immune to being radicalised online, but the reality is the opposite. No one is immune, and I saw this happen to Prasad and so many other physicians and academics when covid started. It’s pure hubris to believe anyone is immune.
Prasad is exhibit A of Twitter brain. Someone needs to do a detailed case report tracking his decline from reasonable skeptic of high price oncology drugs with questionable outcomes to COVID mask skeptic to full on vaccine skeptic. It was all in plain site on Twitter, and a hell of thing to see.

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

This is blatantly, undeniably true and has been for a long time, and it is cooking people's brains to hang out there and think it's not true. Regardless of if you like this place as an alternative or not. Musk puts his thumb heavily on the scale because your feed there is his personal plaything.
If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.
