Putting your name on this open letter which claims that Nathan Cofnas’ academic freedom is in danger is a career-ending move. Career-ending in the sense that you are signaling to us that you should not be mistaken for a serious or historically informed researcher.

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...
But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House.
Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022.
The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.

Re: Diddy being acquitted on sex trafficking charges, one of the reasons the MeToo backlash has been so effective is because the court system enables a commentary class to say the absence of a guilty verdict means that women and victims are liars. In reality it’s incredibly hard and rare to convict

Here’s Ethan saying if I apologize he will not sue this poor man who I’ve never even spoken to.
Another Instagram story from Ethan Klein with a screenshot of SeanDaBlack reacting to Klein’s stream. In text, Klein wrote “I understand my announcement that I’m going to sue SeanDaBlack was upsetting to some. Therefore, in an act of super human grace, I will make you this offer: If the snark subreddit, Taylor Lorenz and Kat Tenbarge all apologize for calling me a misogynist, I will consider dropping the lawsuit against Sean. This offer expires Sunday at 11:59pm.”

YouTuber Ethan Klein says he is suing a man for copyright infringement because I called him (Ethan Klein) a misogynist—unless I apologize. The only problem is that I did not call him a misogynist. He does not accept. This is one of the most popular podcasters on YouTube!
YouTuber Ethan Klein (h3h3productions) posted an Instagram story of a roaring fire with the text “Good evening. I’ve been thinking deeply about everything going on, specifically about the accusation that I’m a misogynist for suing three women. You are all correct, it’s not been fair. That’s why I’ve decided to add SeanDaBlack to the lawsuits, for gender equality. Sean, be sure to thank all of your snarker friends for their constructive advice!”Klein posts a screenshot of Taylor Lorenz tweeting “Ok bet: I'm ever so sorry for calling you a misogynist Ethan. Now drop this lawsuit against Sean, who absolutely does not deserve this,” as well as “Kat Tenbarge is no longer on Twitter but she wanted me to communicate this statement to everyone.” My statement was “Kat Tenbarge here! I want to be clear that my piece NEVER refers to Ethan Klein as a misogynist. It says the lawsuits ‘have provoked a torrent of misogynistic abuse aimed at these women, who were already frequent targets,’ were the ‘latest gift to the misogynistic cesspool of the internet,’ and ‘are catnip for the misogynistic ecosystem in the Twitch community and beyond.’ I’ll apologize for something I didn’t say if it saves someone else from being financially destroyed. But I think this latest move proves the point of everything I DID say.” Ethan added his response: “Sarcastic non-apologies will not be accepted. Snark, I need a mod to sticky a post with a heartfelt apology. Do this and I will tear up the complaint, I am 100% serious.”
