One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

I think what's bothering them isn't his usual "RIP to the losers" pablum but rather his *heavy* implication that one of his followers murdered Reiner for being disloyal.
it’s interesting to see so many MAGA folks acting shocked at Trump’s statement, which is basically the same as every Trump statement I’ve ever seen

The engineered (?) prominence of the Federalist Papers is also perhaps a topic of analysis that I also feel is under-researched.
Debates over the ratification of the Constitution — both in newspapers and outside it, are now transcribed in edited editions. Much is freely available here:
The Federalist Papers, now deemed so iconic, were merely one small part of these debates.

How could this possibly be justified? @nytimes.com gave anonymous-source protection to an OFFICIAL Trump spokesperson who was speaking OFFICIALLY for Trump simply b/c she didn’t want to be “associated” w/ the topic she was OFFICIALLY addressing on behalf of the President of the United States.

The thing that annoys me is how the idea of "AI competency" is either hilariously empty OR an impossible bar for most undergraduate students.
The weak version of this seems to be "showing students how to use ChatGPT and telling them that it can hallucinate." The strong version is an MA in ML.

The reason we're in this fucking mess is the GOP are the only ones actively trying to shift public opinion for the past 30 years, while Carville-brain Dems just follow whatever it is at the moment.
On top of not understanding public opinion is malleable, they ignore any survey results that don't confirm their prior beliefs!

this of course puts JKR and her fellow anti-trans crowd into the same category as the Creationists. They simultaneously want us to believe the evidence is on *their* side, and that *we're* the irrational ones. But if they had evidence, they wouldn't need to lie and make shit up.
I mean, that's no different from any other scientific position, really. Would we reevaluate evolution if we found evidence against it? Of course! Is that likely to ever happen? Nope. The evidence is *strongly* in favor of trans healthcare.
