Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

The nativist right keeps talking about “heritage Americans.” It's a buzzword engineered to move the goalposts on immigration even further, argues @alibreland.bsky.social.
Are You a ‘Heritage American’?
Why the far right wants to know if your ancestors were here during the Civil War.

Indiana University fires IDS
adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

7/ A small sampling of notable people who were tracked using Alatmides/FirstWAP tech. Why and by whom...unclear. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Who Was Tracked

Altamides targeted a phone linked to actor Jared Leto four times in 2012.


Five tracking attempts were made on a phone associated with Asma al-Assad, the ousted first lady of Syria, in 2013. Attempts were also made to track the phone of her sister-in-law.


In 2009, 23andMe founder Anne Wojcicki was tracked more than 1,o00 times.

In 2013, 18 attempts were made to track a phone linked to Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, the former prime minister of Qatar.

I'm generalizing, but why do conservatives remember political irritations for so much longer than liberals?

It's been 17 years since Obama said some voters "cling to their guns, to their religion" and I heard a senator denounce that last month.

I also don't think the timings of the payments are as incriminating as they look, but cuban is so clearly of the belief that a plausible alternative is proof of innocence even though the plausible alternatives are often mutually contradictory

Simpsons paradox of policing: if they move to suburban and rural police departments they would also instantly make them less corrupt and racist
nicholasgrossman.bsky.social
Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

it's very funny that the most famous genetic racist on earth is not a biomedical scientist at all. Unfortunately his cranial shape is unsuited to understanding linkage disequilibrium

In 2018, Charles Murray challenged me to a bet: "We will understand IQ genetically—I think most of the picture will have been filled in by 2025—there will still be blanks—but we’ll know basically what’s going on." It's now 2025, and I claim a win. I write about it in The Atlantic.
Your Genes Are Simply Not Enough to Explain How Smart You Are
Seven years ago, I took a bet with Charles Murray about whether we’d basically understand the genetics of intelligence by now.
