It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

4) What’s happening now is an attempt to render those sentiments acceptable in polite company & to make people feel guilty for having negative judgments about people who express their racism and anti-semitism.

Yes, and the related genre of "why won't young women date conservative young men?!" articles. I'd say Politico has pretty definitively solved the mystery!

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

"mummy! mummy! the statistical analysis machine did statistics at me!"

this is running out of the cinema because you thought the train was going to hit you levels of category error

things like ‘situational awareness’ in AI systems are a symptom of something fiendishly complex happening inside the system which we can neither fully explain or predict – this is inherently very scary

So much for "ending anti-Semitism on college campuses." Here's the link to the US Border Patrol's actual video on Instagram, with problematic lyrics, a clear ex. of dog whistle propaganda. www.instagram.com/reel/DNTGkNM... Reminds me of AfD 2019 ad in Germany asserting that "real German eats pork."

I guess it's good that our big collective takeaway from the pandemic was that we LOVE having and transmitting infectious diseases, since we're about to have so many of them! I'm excited (derogatory) to grow old in this society.

New York health officials have confirmed the first locally transmitted case of the chikungunya virus which causes high fever, joint pain and fatigue.

It’s usually a tropical virus, but there are now infected mosquitoes spreading in New York. (NYT)

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.
