What if — and stick with me here for a sec — there have always been some young white men in America who are right-wing, and the reason is because they agree with right-wing stances, and therefore we don't need a novel "look what you made me do" explanation for why some today were "forced" into it.

In 2010, I studied citations to Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions, showing that scholars that mistyped their refs to Kuhn generally pulled those mistypes from other articles with the same errors, and in those cases often cited Kuhn incorrectly, suggesting they likely didn't read the book.

in my heart I feel like Pope Leo is yanking him offstage with a big white cane like they do in Looney Tunes when a bad singer goes on too long

When we have breaking news or severe weather and the news has to get on the air at a time we're not normally scheduled, the producer in the control room has to call a closed captioning hub and they scramble a live captioner for our breaking news b/c it's an FCC requirement and we can get fined!
