Right in line with my recent paper on partisan selection of entertainment TV: effects thought to be generalizable to all partisans are really just driven by white people. And the biggest gap was between Black vs. white Republicans.

Imagine what we could learn if we listened to non-white people.

From the abstract:
"We find clear and consistent evidence that whites who receive their political news from Fox News are significantly more likely to support core tenets of the GRT [Great Replacement Theory] than those who do not."

Working three jobs so I can afford that seed imported from France. And I can’t even sub in the domestic kind because she can tell the difference.

I do not have the money to support the lifestyle that bird expects.

Thinking about where wreckage and debris may have landed and whether anyone on the ground was hurt.

It’s all content and the manufacture and sharing thereof.

It's like Paul Ryan being a RATM fan. There's evidence that people consume music the lyrics of which more closely align with their own (moral) values, but also MAN do some people not be processing the message at all.

Wait til this genius hears about the Department of Defense Education Activity, which operates K-12 schools on military bases in the U.S. and worldwide.

Zero plan to stabilize Iraq and Libya is exactly how a bunch of weapons and people who knew how to use them flooded all over MENA, leading to decades of instability. And we learned precisely jack shit from it. Can’t wait til people start complaining about Iranian refugees just trying to find safety.

I enlisted two years *after* that war started, and we’d just started the operations against the Islamic State the year before I got out. We’ve been almost consistently at war in the Middle East for like half my life—not even counting the first Gulf War and other stuff in the 90s.

Saddam was captured in December 2003, nine months after the U.S. invaded. And as we all know, the war wrapped up by year’s end and didn’t drag on for another damn near two decades.

Different government departments are now shooting down each others’ drones because everyone is incompetent and can’t coordinate for shit.

Wow, this is some bullshit.

VSU Terminates 6 Professors Without Due Process Campus security escorted the professors—five tenured and one tenure-track—to their cars and issued no-trespass warnings. They have received no written explanation for their dismissals.

Due process violations don't get worse than this. Appalling stuff from Virginia State, every administrator involved should lose their job

There’s a ton of paperwork/evidence the govt would have if any of that were true. Enlistment documents, his chronological record of assignments, the paperwork his unit would have had to process when he went UA/AWOL/deserted… put up or shut up, ICE.

Back when I was trained as an 0844 fire control Marine 20 years ago, when we got a call for fire, we had to work it using computers AND protractors & maps w/ restricted/no fire areas before sending anything to the gun line. Can’t imagine telling Grok to “just figure it out.”

Also, that term always struck me as Islamophobic.

Perfect example of why we wrote this paper. Group identities/boundaries are constructed via communication as the result of asking/answering *political* questions. Someone came up with “Judeo-Christian” for political reasons.

There are also times when people follow me and I never interact with them but they just seem a little sketchy without being obvious bots or trolls. I don’t necessarily wanna block them, just stop them from following me.

Probably the person whom everyone keeps blocking. Which is what I’m about to do to you.

Principal Skinner ass comment. People are blocking you because you are either lacking in reading comprehension or engaging in bad faith, and it’s not worth replying to you. Once again, go somewhere *by yourself* and figure that out *on your own*.

You are the only one who doesn’t understand—or pretends they don’t understand—what she said and don’t say, so maybe go somewhere by yourself and figure that out on your own. The common denominator is you, chief.

“So you hate waffles” ass comment

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

Wrong How Media, Politics, and Identity Drive Our Appetite for Misinformation

Fits right in with @dannagal.bsky.social’s work on demand for misinformation, one of the three Cs driving demand being “community.”

Absolutely disgusting that people want and are allowed to bet on whether other people get bombed to death.
