apparently in law school it means they call on a person specifically to ask a question (at least that's how two lawyers described it to me), and in therapy it's about examining negative thoughts to disprove them

Tangential, but this reminds me that yesterday I learned that Socratic questioning means two very different things in therapy and law school.

Mr. Trump, I am so sorry to report that Ken Paxton has disrespected you so hugely, you should definitely go on television and tell Texans not to vote for him after what he said about you

I bet the companies that capitulated on Gulf of America don't bother with "SI" because it's something they care about.

It's funny to see TikTok discourse make it into bluesky a week later. It's like when your parents start using slang, ruining it.

What's amazing* about this whole White House press saga is that exactly no one is reconsidering whether or not they should maybe completely change the way they cover the White House as a result. *yeah I know, don't be a smart ass.

And like, yeah, obviously Rufo is just a racist but can we also point out that "colorblind equality" is actually a racist position in the world we live in? Systematic inequality exists! Colorblindness is a way of willfully ignoring that. It's the Ed Sheeran of racism.

Absolutely wild to me that we’re all just going around pretending that 2020 never happened, that it didn’t deeply traumatize millions of people, that they aren’t acting out their repressed trauma on a daily basis, or that the signs of all of these things aren’t staring us in the face every day.

Like, I know they're not going to go back on off-the-record agreements, but they should definitely use those to report out stories of shit they know is going down. You've got stories. Use them.
