Reposted by JacobNate O @nateo.bsky.social · 23/08/2026It’s not like liberal academics rallied together and got caught in the ‘academic freedom’ and ‘free speech’ open letters in 2018 to support a raving anti-trans reactionary based on purportedly abstract principles, then never said anything about the state oppressing trans people.

Reposted by JacobNate O @nateo.bsky.social · 23/08/2026We can actually learn from history, literally last month the Good Law Project open letter made very specific factual claims that turned out to be false, or at least unfounded, and damaged the reputation of signatories. But sure, go off, sign the letter in support of the racist for ‘academic freedom’ 25410

Jacob @tullamore-jew.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Think it should be stressed when people say The Bell Curve’s source data was ‘Nazi race science’ they are being in no way pejorative.

Jacob @tullamore-jew.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Between the 1970s and the 2000s the population of Ireland experienced a substantial boost in average IQ scores. This is a common phenomenon known as the Flynn effect and is impossible to explain for the pseudoscience of rigidly genetically inherited intelligence 1122
Jacob @tullamore-jew.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I do not relish in the deaths or suffering of others, even the most terrible and deserving among us. However, aside from The Big One, the other exception I’m allowing myself on this will certainly be Charles Murray 130

Reposted by JacobAdam Serwer @adamserwer.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Some of the richest people in the world want a racial caste system, and they want scholarly backing for that in the form of racist pseudoscience.

Jacob @tullamore-jew.bsky.social · 21/08/2026It does admittedly warm my heart that whenever a new race science dork comes to light you can know in advance they'll have a substantial devotion to whining about how much Stephen J Gould utterly laid their belief system to ruins way back in the 1980s 1117823
