For more on my time in Ukraine researching logistics, follow this thread:

I dunno, maybe the Supreme Court majority could have the decency to bestir themselves to write an actual, you know, opinion, with their names on it, explaining their endorsement of using race and ethnicity as part of a national policy of harassing and intimidating non-white Americans.

This is not a thorny issue. This is not fraught. It is extrajudicial killing. It is the killing of civilians under any standard of law. He killed them on the basis of his-say so that they are drug smugglers, mere criminals. It was premeditated. And he's saying he's going to do it again and again.

Unfortunately as a grad student I've seen people just in the process of finding research to write about in final papers admit to using chatgpt to find studies to use (and even say they had to sort through fake results) instead of figuring out how to use the online library database.

If you aren't already against AI this sort of stuff should make you against it. The amount of water and energy required for it will only increase as people try to force AI into every industry. You'll either be asked to use less water or the pollution created will destroy your environment.

How did I miss this absolute banger?

Absolutely outrageous.

See this anti-DEI purge for what it is: a radical political project to erase--literally erase--the accomplishments, leadership & heroism of PoC, women & the disabled.

The MAJORITY of Americans belong to 1 or more of those groups.

"Anti-DEI" is an anti-American revolution.

The priest who gave a Nazi salute faced some accountability, I believe. But musk has not --not in any way. Nazi salutes are being normalized.

Anyone who has watched Snatch knows to always fear a man who keeps a pig farm

Or, they are angry I got in the way of their "innocent" fun. I find that men are very often angry with me in these circumstances. 😬 Hence, my Medieval Cause of Death is Womannely Mouthyneff. 🤣

As a young man growing up in the internet age this is one of the biggest problems of our gen. Around other men all politeness and pretext drops. You know what they mean when they say certain words. A lot of men know that certain things are unacceptable today but a lot them still want to say it

Really trying to echo this idea.
It's also not like most states have the funding systems in place to cover lost funds from the fed govt. Especially say, education. The only thing pulling mass fed funds will do is crater these services across the country especially in poorer states.

I really enjoyed this. A big question in my MPA classes seems to be trying to streamline strategic decisionmaking without compromising decision quality, so this caught my eye.

Just started the GMU MPA program. A lot of worried people, across the political spectrum. Also, a lot of these base classes talk about classical ideas of PubAdmin generally from implementation to culture/organization and management and regularly people are questioning how applicable these ideas are

Political media has always been aimed in no small part to the youth. They're easy to indoctrinate and make compliant. Writers like Hergé fought not only government lies but did so while receiving many threats. Tintin, a curious young man made friends everywhere and always protected the unprotected.

This is why political media is so important and it has to be ready to make itself as accessible as the garbage that young boys in particular were fed during Gamergate. This is also how we restore trust in processes like the transfer of power, trust built on knowledge and confidence.
