Propped up by MSNBS, the PodBros and Keith Edwards for months before anyone knew HS's name, wins my 1% "people's earthquake against (((AIPAC)))" Pro-Israel Wesley Bell beats Jew-hating Cori Bush by over *fifty* points? Silence. G-d save us from the horseshoe theory Left.
Some things are bigger than the obvious like Bush being thrashed in Missouri. Some voters get turned off with a daily dose of negativity and not enough talk about their pockets. He will need to fix his platform to appeal to Stevens voters watched his surrogates chase the woman down and harassed
Regardless of how one feels, Stevens got thrashed all across social media and wasn't hyped up and damn near won. Make the excuses you want to make and that's fine but that's a red flag for folks who support AES. No, it wasn't AIPAC that made this race close.
RFK Jr. said on CNN there are no studies of the MMR in kids under 2. And of course, yes there are.
We’ve noticed. That’s why I’ve started regarding leftists as pro-fascist.
They do. They only want their policies if they're passed by Bernie with the DNC crying in the corner.
Harris literally said this a thousand times when she ran two years ago and it was dismissed
This! This is the message voters have wanted for so long.
He appeared not only with Piker but Linda Sarsour. Every Republican ad is completely foreseeable. All the establishment Dems will have to provide cover for him now.

I’m never not fascinated to see people talk about living without AI like it’s clean water or electricity, and not just… how we were all living 4 years ago. I’m not even caught up on my *podcasts* from 4 years ago.
To add to this, part of why I have been able to publish my own books as an independent scholar is I have as much institutional support to do so now as I did when I was in a tenured faculty role, which is zero
not unique to me! see also assoc profs waylaid by teaching and/or service. above all it’s interesting to think about parallel—though different—emphases on the “first book” with its assumption of a second and third and and and when there isn’t infrastructure to support that at scale.
Every fiber of my being is vibrating with desire to reply “no, you are the first. This is groundbreaking. Boosting for visibility” even though I know it would get me banned from r/askhistorians
Chipotle isolated a single source of Jalapeno peppers contaminated with Salmonella. They figured it out. RFK Jr. can’t
This was clearly AI-developed and I some senior VP is in a boardroom somewhere crowing about his 100x AI-first development team and all the tokens they used in the creation of this disruptive technology or some shit. Please do not disrupt the system I care for that serves 80,000 users. Please?
I've been told that due to the immediate blowback, they will be rolling out an institutional level opt-out. That they didn't ship it with that right off the bat is absolutely wild work. Like, are they stupid? Anyway, your mission now is to make sure your school opts out. Write some emails.
#AcademicSky heads up: If your institution uses Canvas, you should know that the parent company just very quietly (entirely too quietly iykwim) rolled out a whole new thing they are directly marketing to students that will hoover your content into AI whether you like it or not:
Who approves Athena?
Instructure's new AI study coach connects through the student's account, not yours.

Happy Heavenly 7th Birthday little Ariel. You and your baby brother are always in our hearts.
If ICE can send subpoenas to deanonymize social media accounts, couldn't they have done it for the anonymous and overtly racist account we found is run by one of their own employees who is still working there?
REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.
NEW: A jury has convicted a 45-year-old man of arson after he used a pocket torch to burn a Jewish religious scroll at the entrance of a Berkeley study center in February, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office says. nbcbay.com/NgJpQW1
When #Islamic #terrorists commit 48,000+ attacks in 70+ countries since 9/11 alone, not a single Muslim is to blame (including the terrorists themselves).
Just once I'd like to see leftists respond to a Democratic primary victory by actually reaching out to their opponent's supporters instead of trying to bully them into falling in line because they have nowhere else to go. Maybe it'll happen this time. So far, my replies have not been encouraging.
Air quality. I grew up in the Los Angeles basin in the 70s and 80s and remember having to stay inside because the smog was so bad - Stage 2 smog alerts, they were called. Apparently they haven't had one of those since 1988. Haven't had a stage one smog alert since 2003.
Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
If you won a primary it does not become the job of your former opponent to convince people to vote for you. Your opponent may choose endorsement and may choose to encourage support but ultimately it is your responsibility to convince the voters who were skeptical of you to now support you.
This is why Moscow put Trump in the White House, and why Beijing is afraid to see him go:
It seems really clear that by 2028, we're going to have an empty SPR, substantial munitions shortages, greater strategic challenges, a larger national debt and substantially higher bond rates which will massively constrain future administrations.

Its also doubly ugly as it is using the white woman tools of white supremacy. Accusations of horrors by white women get non-white people in this country murdered. That you feel so comfortable lying in a way that falls under the umbrella of stochastic terrorism... 😬😬😬
It is an attempt to silence criticism and move goalposts by reversing the order of victim and attacker. DARVO. Now they can dodge admitting they were wrong (as the person I'm writing this about did) by hammering on the other person being some kinda evil.
