What does Charles Murray actually do all year? "he wrote in an email. He told me he plans to [respond] in a few months, when he has more time." Murray gets paid by IAE to watch paint dry and post race science. What's he going to do those months? Try to kill goats telepathically?

It’s been more than a decade since we learned that car manufacturers like Mercedes and VW were using ‘cheat devices’. In that time thousands have died prematurely in the UK alone. So why no action? www.whatthelawdoes.com/p/sixteen-th...

An incredible book by @jacobsilverman.com.

This would be GREAT paired with my article in doctors in the Klan in the 1920s.

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists. 50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path. drive.google.com/file/d/1CAk9...

Cambridge don clears situation of reality

Cambridge don Nathan Cofnas cleared of racism Dr Cofnas stated that in a meritocracy ‘number of black professors would approach 0 per cent’ Lawful ... but also lacking substantiation or evidence, revealing absence of any sound research methodology varsity.co.uk/news/30360

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage. Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech" www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/w...

Here is some material Bari Weiss published regarding Covid. So when anyone defends her in any way, what they are saying is that real world victims of medical disinformation don’t matter. It’s all just a game to these pundits.

"With this said, it is important to note that the ‘very dissimilar education’ group consisted of only 10 TRA pairs. This small N is not a shortcoming of this analysis ... is a shortcoming of the TRA field; these 10 pairs represent the entirety of individual data published over the last century."

Meanwhile, antisemitic chant at a far-right anti-immigration protest today in Amsterdam: “Hey Franz Timmermans, you dirty filthy cancer Jew, just go and die” (not getting into semantics of translating kkr, which I’m tempted to more loosely translate as “f*cking” in this context but that’s just me)

as i said, it's one of the best, i.e. it has a reasonable methodology and correctly identifies its caveats i keep looking at studies with great headlines and the studies are all *dogshit*. That MIT 95% study is a Web3 scam promotion. The workslop one is statistically illiterate. etc.

Far right tech oligarchs fueled by taxpayer welfare reward far right propagandists with massive cash payments This is Twitterism

This is the same Netflix that Musk wants to cancel over it being too woke, with too many trans positive depictions.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas

I held keynotes and participated in panels, both in person and online. A recording of the keynote I held a few weeks ago at @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social and the panel with data workers that followed can be watched here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Q1...

Does your university have a contract with Grammarly? Write to the decision-maker asking if they think the university should be paying for a tool that is fast integrating features that can only be used for academic misconduct and cognitive offloading and request they drop the contract.

Guardian. "US professors facing threats, firings and harassment over Charlie Kirk posts As many as 40 academics have been dismissed in aftermath of shooting, allegedly without due process" “we were one of his first targets with the Professor Watchlist," www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

amazing he zoomed in on the good bit and posted it saying "see how bad this is"

the thing is that is a gem; sorry you're not able to see how good that extract is

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

any product that depends on the long term stability of its maker is inherently defective

This is kind of response under the guise of "failure of professionalism" or "lack of collegiality" has deep roots in medicine. Not aligned with protecting the public.

i think anyone taught by ilan wurman ought to ask the university of minnesota law school for their money back

all social media admins are lowtax

We've gotta start filing these AI doomers as conspiracists, on about the same level as climate deniers and antivax because what is this cope. "No, we *have* to destroy the planet sooner because it might enslave us"

Let’s fucking go we better respect the robots before “they use us“

yeah. remember the call for robot rights is coming from turbo race scientists.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

i love that the average republican is a conspiracy theorist now

"just upload a scanned image of your drivers license no big deal"

Didn't BlueSky *just* kill a bunch of accounts because of a single news article citing "controversial" posts about Charlie Kirk? I think most of them were allowed back, but it's clear some outrage campaigns, from certain sources, do work here.

The DHS account posts neo-Nazi material that's so unambiguous that I can literally tell which variety of internet neo-Nazi is running it: a BAPist, not a groyper
