If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

Newsflash, Wannabe Dictator:

I don’t care how many times you shake the Etch A Sketch trying to redraw these lines. I’m not disappearing.

I’ll be back, still on your behind every step of the way. (1/2)

Deutsche Physik - Wikipedia

Nazi German scientific discourse dismissed Einstein's theory of relativity as "Jewish physics". The meta-debate that Jews didn't belong meant that the discourse was not merit-based and excluded good ideas from minorities like Einstein.

This dynamic can happen in the present day and online.

What's missing from this list is the meta-debate, where some members of the majority insist that minorities need to debate their right to exist (or belong in the group), before anyone should listen to what they have to say on any other topic that affects everyone.

The censorship is asymmetrical.

They wanted English-speaking White Christian fascism, not English-speaking Christian fascism that included English-speaking Black Christians.

"We don't believe in erasing American history—we honor it," says the guy working for the government that mandated that the website for the Stonewall National Monument erase all mentions of the word "transgender."

"Unlike the left, we don't believe in erasing history" says the guy renaming ships and purging any mention of like the navajo code talkers, tuskegee airmen, black medal of honor winners, etc

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

“We have no idea why they are alleging [she overstayed her visa], because we have a piece of paper that says she has a visa till December 2025,” Davis said. “This is what lack of due process does. We have evidence on our side. ... We are not being given the opportunity to sort it out.”

Bird Flu May Be Airborne on Dairy Farms, Scientists Report

Surprise! (not surprised)

Probably most respiratory viruses, including coronavirus (hello covid), influenza, and even diarrheal viruses like norovirus are airborne transmitted.

Every rich person is going to tell *you* how great AI teaching is while sending *their* kids to the kind of schooling the Ancient Greeks would recognize. I just wish everyone would think about why that is.

Long-Term Impacts of the COVID-19 K-Shaped Recovery Rising wealth inequality, unemployment, and corporate monopolies could have lasting implications for society.

Why don't you show this chart instead of a mean that obfuscates working class people's experiences?

Investopedia, a finance website, even understands "Inequality is rising, employment is stagnating for many".

Long-Term Impacts of the COVID-19 K-Shaped Recovery Rising wealth inequality, unemployment, and corporate monopolies could have lasting implications for society.

"The COVID-19 pandemic recovery has been fractured and uneven. Millions of Americans remain unemployed, while the wealthiest have grown their fortunes—reinforced by a strong stock market... the term K-shaped recovery ... describes how different areas of the economy have recovered at varying speeds."

GamerGate to Trump: How video game culture blew everything up Backlash to a debate about how video games portray women led to an internet culture that helped sweep Trump into office.

But the direct impact on boys shouldn't be understated.

Tech and game companies pandering to boys specifically -> Gamergate -> Alt right -> MAGA -> Trump presidencies

The marketing propaganda at the time that computers were for boy geniuses probably had a greater impact on tech illiterate teachers, parents, and journalists who looked for the "computer whiz" personality in boys specifically.

Back then, adults were generally more computer illiterate than children.

Substack’s Algorithm Accidentally Reveals What We Already Knew: It’s The Nazi Bar Now

Back in April 2023, when Substack CEO Chris Best refused to answer basic questions about whether his platform would allow racist content, I noted that his evasiveness was essentially hanging out a "Nazis Welcome"…

University administration is a separate job role from being an academic.

Silicon Valley’s gender gap is the result of computer-game marketing 20 years ago It’s no secret that there is a pronounced gender gap in technology fields. In 2014, 70% of the employees at the top tech companies in Silicon Valley, such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter, were male. ...

"For example, the Apple personal computer that was released at the time was marketed specifically to boys (included them teasing girls’ computer skills), as were a whole range of other consoles. This gave rise to male computing culture."

I'm done with sugarcoating facts. Our self-censorship helped shift the Overton window right. I started giving them the unvarnished version after Trump was reelected. We should expose them to real leftism lest they think liberalism is far left.

Genuinely do not understand why people spend literally any amount of time on X these days

You are not immune to propaganda and it’s not even *good* propaganda. You’re just cooking your brain in Nazi slop

I don't say this lightly: The New York Times should fire the reporter and editor who chose to present a leak from the white house as if it was a leak from Harvard.

Don't print lies in the newspaper

the NYT laundering WH talking points because it won't do due diligence AND won't tell its readers who its sources are. just shameful.

"We will impeach and remove the president for his many crimes" seems like a good midterm election pitch to me idk

I can’t believe it must needs be said: but when you “tactically” concede to let fascists murder a “small, unimportant” marginalized group, other people witness your violent calculus and realize you’re a scheming coward who will do anything to save your own skin, not a steadfast, trustworthy ally.

Basically AI is being sold as a utility with the expectation that it will be both ubiquitous & impossible to decouple from everyday life. A problem is that it is completely in the hands of a privatized industry whose primary goal is to make us reliant upon it, rob us of choice & extract our finances

The conservative reaction would be "politicians are all liars" because they already believe in the liberal deep state conspiracy.
