In bookstores today! It's "We Will Rise Again," a book of hard-won hope in this dark season. I co-edited it with the wondrous @older.bsky.social and @drkarenlord.bsky.social -- it's an anthology of speculative stories and essays about protest and resistance! www.simonandschuster.com/books/We-Wil...

The highlighted phrase here is just a way for The Times to dismiss criticism, not a question anyone is seriously posing.
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”

By situating the Times as nobly filling the space between the diametrically opposed wants of the “left” and the “right” and suggesting that all of these critiques are ideologically motivated and are equally valid (or invalid), this misses the point of much of the criticism of the paper’s coverage.

Just incredible how much time Trump spends talking about having "aced" cognitive tests. When Jeffrey K. Tulis wrote about the "rhetorical presidency" in the 1980s, I don't imagine that he or any of his readers would have predicted this.
Trump on cognitive test: When you get into the mid questions, meaning ten, question number ten, 11, 12, 28, 30, they get harder and harder. I'm a smart person, not a stupid person. I aced it.

This is the roughly the ratio of the foreign-born population which existed for half a century from the late 19th to the early 20th century.
/note that this chart is from 2019, the percent of the population which is foreign-born is now somewhat above 15%, which is a new high.

It's the 174th anniversary of the 18 Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (the event, not the pamphlet).
But of course it's not relevant to our times: it's impossible nowadays to imagine the President of a large republic subverting the constitution to get around its prohibition on a further term in office.

Haidt's Google Scholar profile reveals one (1) peer-reviewed paper on social media use and mental health and one (1) paper on technology use and loneliness since 2015. He is not the lead author on a single paper in the area for which he claims expertise. The word for that is: charlatan.
Haidt is "stunned" that ChatGPT asked how it would threaten youth reveals that its plan would be what Haidt has argued in his books. The secret plan!
There should be some way to rescind the doctorate of any commentator on digital media who interprets ChatGPT output like this. I am not joking.

In sum: Jonathan Haidt has neither personally conducted a vigorous original research program nor has he run a lab sponsoring research on the relationship bw social media use and mental health. He has masqueraded as an expert in an area for which he does not have the requisite academic credentials.
