Ukrainian Olympian Is Disqualified Over Helmet Honoring War Dead

The Ukrainians called it a Revolution of Dignity for a reason, and every day it’s a shame how many others fail to cast off the shackles of Russian manipulation and continue to carry water for a nation that has never been held accountable for its actions or history

But also, watching someone call these “free speech warriors” on their sheer rank hypocrisy will be a joy.

Agnotology | Stanford University Press What don't we know, and why don't we know it? What keeps ignorance alive, or allows it to be used as a political instrument? Agnotology—the study of ignorance—provides a new theoretical perspective to...
