This seems like a reaching explanation to try to wave away an ideological embarrassment as not being a consequence of the ideology. "No one could have predicted the outcome of the instruction set we put in - which was followed precise

Minds have been changed on a lot of things that are pretty wild lately, in a short span of time. If this stuff continues, there might be further pretty wild changes of mind.

I remember their podcast back about 15 years ago. It was just two dudes reading wikipedia articles aloud, with commentary. This isn't an exaggeration.

Reddit really seems like a dead-man-walking company. There are too many problems with it - socially, organizationally, and culturally. In the company, but especially on the platform. They're the most rabidly exclusive platform on the i

Why is it being placed in elementary schools?

I've read it. If it's not for children, why is it in school libraries? The problem is not that it exists. The problem is that it is being put in school libraries. If you read it you will likely see why. It literally has graphi

There's a difference between teaching about Jim Crow laws - which we absolutely should - and teaching ideological notions that cast white people as categorical racists and black people as categorical victims. Or teaching that white co

Do I? I have no idea if criminal tendency is innate. And frankly I think such a discussion has no place in K-12 education, even if it were just a plain fact that black people were somehow inherently predisposed to criminality. They'r

The vast, vast majority of people agree with this. Academic elites, and the kind of people who can spend vast amounts of time online overrepresenting themselves in discourse, do not.

You're casting the desire for public schools to not make available a book with illustrations of two children engaged in anal sex with a dildo as "Republicans playing the victim".

Showing pornography to children? Presumably all states. Oh, you meant on sexual dimorphism and crime statistics? None. It's not even clear that Florida now criminalizes those discussions. But you would certainly be fired in Californ

The rule says books that are pornographic. This became an issue because teachers began putting books like "Genderqueer" in school libraries and classrooms, featuring explicit illustrations of apparently children engaging in thing

What racist statements? Please say "rapists and murderers". James Comey said a true thing - Hillary Clinton was under investigation for using a personally owned and possessed BES for official state department communications, whic

What happened between 2016 and 2020 in the name of making sure people understood that supporting Trump would not be tolerated truly boggles the mind. For three years they used the FBI to threaten his family and jail his friends under an inv

You need to be more specific - he wasn't banning George Takei or Occupy Democrats. He banned ANTIFA accounts that were being used to plan "direct action", ie: riots. Something that was previously against Twitter's TOS,

Elon specifically mentioned that his polls were actually a great way to obviate bots, as reflected by the bot activity seen on them. He was going to reinstate the accounts anyway.

Why not neither? Why not just keep appropriate ideas in appropriate contexts instead of feeling the need to colonize and proselytize, only to be shocked at the backlash?

Yes you do. It's in the form of "nudges" toward more Apple products - mostly iCloud ecosystem products.

I don't think an individual working for the CIA inherits anything from the CIA training militias in South America any more than I think the guy who refills the coke machine at my job inherits national socialist sympathies.
