Gonna be honest, gang. The moment you convince people you can make a machine who is conscious and capable of suffering, that is the moment you should be introduced to John Brown's blade for thinking you can sell that person.

There's a new wave of Democratic ads across the country that are somehow brutally partisan and incredibly effective and it's going to take some time for me to get used to this?

Ten years of relentlessly hateful, comically elitist anti-democratic politics across the white people world, helpfully summarised. The wrong people are talking, the wrong people are deciding and it’s harming the careers of important people who actually matter. Smithers! Release the hounds

The incident fits a broader pattern in the discourse around 'free speech' and 'cancel culture': whatever comes from the top down is freedom; whatever comes from the bottom up is bullying and censorship. When Macklemore is dropped at the behest of the billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft, it's an exercise of the freedom of businesses to 'demonstrate their values' by deciding whom to platform. But when Ed Sheeran's fans decide not to buy tickets to his performances, or even demand refunds, it's bullying, mob behaviour. Since most people are not billionaires and do not own stadiums, they can exercise meaningful power only collectively. The collective exercise of power must therefore be demonised.

'White Freedom' Examines The Tandem Development Of The Concepts Of Freedom And Race

Tyler Stovall writes white freedom is "the belief (and practice) that freedom is central to white racial identity, and that only white people can or should be free" — noting nations were built on it.

Everybody’s talking about this shocking Sankey diagram

a “Sankey diagram,” a graphical display of information, in which there are inputs on one side and outputs on the other. The diagram is labeled “Transportation Funding Flows from Public and Private Interests to Auto and Oil Industries.” Of money spent by consumers on vehicles, fuel, and maintenance, and various sources of government funding, a large share ends up in the aforementioned industry.

Yes, Trump is a horror. But he was elected a second time, after people saw what he did the first time. Sure, we can blame Trump, but a large portion of the American people are really to blame. It makes me sad and embarrassed to say that, but we all know it’s true.

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

A notice to scientists doing paleosciences: please #TalkToALibrarian about the bibliographic traditions in History. Science databases are virtually worthless for finding scholarship in history. You cannot cite a book review you found in a science journal in lieu of actually reading the history BOOK.
