I wrote about Dunning-Kruger, Bloom's Taxonomy, and Robert Heinlein. grippinghand.dev/dunning-krug... #DunningKruger #CriticalThinking
Three identical rise-and-fall curves side by side, labeled left to right: 1995, a consulting firm's hype cycle; 2011, a webcomic; today, "the Dunning-Kruger effect." The third curve is red. Headline: Not from the Dunning-Kruger paper.

Why Does Todd Blanche Keep Protecting Ghislaine Maxwell?
The Acting Attorney General has spun an incredible web of lies to protect Jeffrey Epstein's coconspirator. Here's a roadmap to finding the truth.

What Happened to Todd Blanche?
Once a mainstream lawyer, the Acting Attorney General has become one of Donald Trump’s most culpable enablers. It’s an unfathomable betrayal of the American people.

Virginians, If having a Democratic majority in Congress is important, you must vote for Jay Jones for Attorney General. If Virginia poceeds with redistricting the Attorney General will defend legal challenges against it. The fate of democracy is way more important than some unfortunate text messages

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.
A screenshot of two X posts. The first post is from Tom Morello (@tmorello), timestamped 7 hours ago, with a profile picture showing a person in a colorful outfit. The text reads: "What the f*ck is wrong with these people. Wounded Knee was a bloodthirsty massacre of Lakota Sioux, including dozens of women and children." The second post is from Secretary of War Pete (@username), timestamped 9 hours ago, with a profile picture of a man in a suit. The text reads: "Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled." The second post includes an image of a man in a suit standing in front of an American flag and an official seal, appearing to give a formal statement.
