I have read worse prose To be entirely fair, handsome and brave were my interpretations of her words Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt to at least read what she said Oh. Ew.
NY Mag Intelligencer:

“later, Barker records a TikTok in which she says she is quitting the party and voting for Trump.
Barker followed up the video with op-eds for Newsweek and The Free Press. Soon publishers were asking for a book proposal and she was being interviewed by Lara Trump on the podcast of the president's daughter-in-law. Lara even helped her get tickets to a Trump rally in Las Vegas, where she met the Republican presidential candidate for a photo op. In Nothing Left she describes meeting him in near-reverential tones:
"The images of blood running down his face immediately came back to me. At that moment he was neither an enemy nor the person I'd hated for years; instead he was a human being who shook my hand and looked me in the eye. I didn't expect this, but I felt genuine empathy for him."" It was, she writes, "as if I had just climbed out from inside a dream."”

“Eve Barlow:
Some people still don't get it.
They don't want a conversation.
They enjoy watching you squirm.
They do it to exhaust you.
They do it to isolate you.
They do it to break your human spirit.
They do it to force you into a state of hopelessness.
They do it to make you so desperate that you are begging for them to stop and the words come out:

Actually yes Fun bonus; he’s into using llms to help ruin education further
Dr. Alexander M. Hoffman
Dr. Hoffman is President of AleDev Research & Consulting.
A former high school English teacher, he left the classroom when he recognized that the problems he saw in schools could not be solved from within a single classroom-or even
within a single school. His work since has spanned education research, policy analysis, and, most centrally, the
improvement of standardized testing.
As a research consultant, Dr. Hoffman is a methodologist first. He designs studies to fit the question at hand-quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods-rather than forcing questions into a favored technique. His consulting work includes research design, instrument development, survey construction, interview and focus group protocols, statistical analysis, and program evaluation. Clients bring him problems; he builds the studies that answer them.
His primary research focus is the development of large-scale assessment content. With Marjorie Wine, he is building Rigorous Test Development (RTD), a principled approach to test development that documents and advances best
practices for test item and content development, centered on the principle that valid items elicit evidence of the targeted cognition for the range of typical test takers. His work examines the practical work of content development professionals (CDPS) and the too-often-overlooked compromises of domain models to make allowances for
inappropriate modeling assumptions.Dr. Hoffman also explores the potential-and the current
limitations—of frontier large language models (LLMs) to aid research and writing. This includes empirical study of what these tools can and cannot yet do in assessment contexts,
and hard-won practical knowledge of how to put them to
work productively without surrendering professional judgment to them.
Dr. Hoffman holds a doctorate in Leadership, Policy & Politics from Teachers College, Columbia University, where his research focused on policy implementation and school leadership. He also holds master's degrees from Teachers College and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Yeah according to his biography
Mel Blanc, voice of Bugs Bunny as well as a plethora of other cartoon characters, got into a near-fatal car
accident in 1961 that resulted in a triple skull fracture and a three-week-long coma. After many failed attempts to stir Blanc, his doctor tried a different tactic.
He asked, "Bugs, can you hear me?"
Blanc, in the voice of Bugs Bunny, responded, "What's up, Doc?"

From this point on, the doctor was able to speak to him by addressing him as his characters until he was out of his coma.

I think White centrists have gotten extremely mad over the past fifteen years or so that they aren’t considered the default in politics This is more of the backlash by them to seeing minorities dare to try to control anything imo They want it to be back to the “good old days” as seen here

Nice ai slop, try reading the actual article rather than relying on bo-bot to think for you ☹️ bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsp...
CONCLUSIONS
This research compares transgender male and transgender female athletes to their cisgender counterparts. Compared with cisgender women, transgender women have decreased lung function, increasing their work in breathing. Regardless of fat-free mass distribution, transgender women performed worse on the countermovement jump than cisgender women and CM. Although transgender women have comparable absolute VO, max values to cisgender women, when normalised for body weight, transgender women's cardiovascular fitness is lower than CM and women. Therefore, this research shows the potential complexity of transgender athlete physiology and its effects on the laboratory measures of physical performance. A long-term longitudinal study is needed to confirm whether these findings are directly related to gender-affirming hormone therapy owing to the study's shortcomings, particularly its cross-sectional design and limited sample size, which make confirming the causal effect of gender-affirmative care on sports performance problematic.

Uhhhhhh This is pretty spot on, who let the gift of prophecy off its leash
* Many of those who are today's teen-agers will become alienated young adults who "game the system without any pretense of higher principle."
* Deviant behavior will be punished with greater severity and overtones of moral retribution, with increasingly strict public scrutiny aimed at issues--such as parenting and substance abuse--once considered matters of personal choice.
Ready for more? How about these expectations for the year 2003:
The baby boomers and the post-boomer generation will enter a "culture war," with "loud, moralizing aggressors on the older side and
atomized pleasure-seeking victims on the younger--a vindictive age polarization America has not witnessed since the Roaring '20s."

Germany is watching the upcoming state election in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt with keen interest. Much of the attention is focused on the performance of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AD), whose state branch in Saxony-Anhalt has been classified by the domestic intelligence agency as "confirmed right-wing extremist."

According to opinion polls, the AfD could emerge as the clear election winner.'Foreigners are to blame'
The AfD has also made immigration a central campaign issue in Saxony-Anhalt, warning of "too much immigration" and "foreign influence" - and appears to be gaining support with this message.

This is even though, compared with other German states, relatively few non-Germans live there.

Although Saxony-Anhalt is one of Germany's economically weaker states, it has gained population in recent years, according to migration figures.

Since 2016, more non-Germans have moved to Saxony-Anhalt than have left. The net migration balance for German citizens has also been positive for the past six years.

At the end of 2025, foreign nationals accounted for around 9% of Saxony-Anhalt's population - roughly half the share in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state.It is often claimed that pensions are lower in eastern Germany than in the West, but this is no longer the case. It is true, however, that the proportion of pensioners in Saxony-Anhalt is slightly higher than the national average. Many pensioners in the East also rely solely on their state pension, whereas many in the West receive company pensions or income from private retirement savings in addition to their state pension.The claim that "foreigners are living off taxpayers" is also misleading.
Compared with other German states, Saxony-Anhalt has a relatively low proportion of foreign nationals among potential recipients of welfare benefits such as basic income support.
