Former Yob Performative male (dares to read books in public). Block early, block often.

My daughter’s university scrutinizes each essay for evidence of AI. The goal is to get a 0% score. This AI-hunting is done by… AI. A recent essay scored 17%. She questioned what the AI thought was AI, since she hadn’t used it. The answer: the uni-issued cover page showing student ID, faculty etc. 🤦🏻‍♂️

"If believing something suits MAGA’s prejudices and interests, they don’t hesitate: they simply insist that it’s true. They routinely dismiss scientific and statistical evidence, but they don’t stop there. They’re perfectly willing to deny reality even if the truth is staring them in the face."

"What the ongoing show trial of Fauci — which motivated this post — has really driven home, however, is that what Trump and his supporters hate most of all is reality....What we’re seeing now isn’t run-of-the-mill motivated reasoning. It’s something far more extreme." – @pkrugman.bsky.social

Nothing proves how preposterous the threat of Communism is better than the fact that Trump is raving about the threat of Communism. It's such a distant ideology that he's sure most people don't remember anything about it, except it's bad.
