The Reflecting Pool saga is a perfect diorama of how right-wing media turns Trump’s fantasies into public reality, and then tries to quietly conceal the wreckage once the facts catch up.

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
I'm a pre-modern historian. My sources are fragmentary, contradictory, polemical, superstitious, scratched on animal skin in a dead language. It takes time to develop tacit knowledge of this world, and more time for my implicit cognition to build connections within it. There are no shortcuts.
You mean rent-seeking parasites want to use a high speed, stochastic plagiarizing machine, that also functions as a dunning-kruger amplifier, to do to white-collar workers what they've been doing to blue-collar workers all my life and you're surprised that people are angry? #enshittification

A law professor doing history with AI... boy, I don't know.

Would it surprise you to learn that Stevenson is actually a law professor with a phd in economics (and was supported along the way by the Federalist Society)?

This is quite absurd, of course. And unsurprising for an economist in a law school. But, it's also the same mentality that in 2017 gave us historians saying, "the confederate statutes weren't even put up until the 1920s," as if that fact, put in the right order, changed their meaning.

Of course it is the incredibly stupid who are clueless about historiography that are super enthusiastic about how AI can be used to "do history."

Trump repeatedly claims Middle Eastern leaders and even Iran are calling him, pleading not to attack. ➡️ Marandi states flatly there has been zero communication between Iran and the United States. ➡️ This is not the first time. Trump has made the same false claim so often it has become boring.

🚨BREAKING: In a loss for voters, Missouri's top election official blocked the citizen-led referendum on the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander from appearing on the ballot this fall. While the battle isn’t over, the move denies Missourians right to block the map from use in the midterms.

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.
