This is a hugely important story. I wrote about its consequences already in "Road to Unfreedom" and we know much more now. If we want to be a democracy we have to create structures of factuality rather than selling our future to the loudest yeller in another country.
Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.
NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors.

It's not even a morality issue---it's an equity issue.
In essence, about half the student body has to manage the prospect that approaching the professor for help, professional advice, guidance, or feedback is going to go sideways.
Women in his classes are not getting the same class.

I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!

Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

As a third generation member of the Norwegian diaspora, I love me an Ole and Lena joke
Ole and Lena get married in Wilmar and are driving up to Sauk Rapids for their honeymoon. Ole puts his hand on Lena’s leg, and she says “you know Ole, we’re married now. You can go further”, so Ole drives all the way to Duluth

Tell me again how it’s women who have ruined the workplace
Every Watson obituary should begin with some variant of "James Watson, whose uncredited use of Rosalind Franklin's research led to fame, fortune, and the Nobel Prize..."
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

Margaret Atwood would not be interested in my folksy charm
I asked this before over at The Old Place and the answers delighted me. So again:
Who is an artist you admire who you suspect would not like you if they met you personally?
I think Peter Dinklage is fantastic. I would absolutely get on his last nerve. He'd be looking for the door while we spoke.

Emperor Justinian's invasion of his own country hastened the fall of the Roman Empire. But after a thousand years of darkness and poverty Italy saw a Renaissance. Could the same thing happen here?

I admire the Jays strategy thus far: trap your opponents in a pocket Hell Dimension made of pure baseball until they lose the will to play and give up.
