Heads-up, America. The billionaires are censoring criticism of the leader and themselves.

“To be clear, there have been instances where sketches have been rejected or revisions requested, but never because of the point of view inherent in the cartoon’s commentary. That’s a game changer…and dangerous for a free press.”

Good article on #ForensicLinguistics from the Law Society Journal (Australia).
From cold cases to criminal trials: the power of forensic linguistics - Law Society Journal

What should journalists do when the facts don’t matter?
Historical examples abound of American news consumers being presented with verified facts about controversial figures or events, only to have the excellent journalism have little to no effect.

How good are you at detecting fake #accents?
Research from the University of Cambridge suggests people from Glasgow, Belfast & Dublin are better able to detect them due to greater social cohesion in these areas.

Populist podcasters love RFK, Jr., and he took the same left-right turn toward Trump as they did
How did this lifelong Democrat go full MAGA? A scholar of populism finds some answers in the ‘manosphere’ podcasts credited with helping Trump win, such as those hosted by Theo Von and Joe Rogan.

What disappoints me most about his supporters is that their entire platform is about HURTING others.
Taking away rights.
Taking away benefits.
Taking away a path to citizenship.
It’s a platform based on cruelty.
They hate their lives and prefer if everyone suffered rather than solving it.
Sad.
