did I do this right

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Guys I cannot stress this enough: no one is being “gaslit” or dupe or mislead. The thing where Blinken acts bumfuzzled every time Israel does a war crime is fake. It’s called plausible deniability. The WH is 100% in on everything, the Lucy and the Football routine is entirely PR

Liberals after Trump wins

[Pedagogy of the Depressed @UOPsychGrad]

Wild that the Dems are taking pot shots at Elon Musk with Trump while Harris parades around with Mark Cuban

[Acyn @Acyn]

Walz: Look, I won't waste all of the time. I will talk about his running mate. His running mate, Elon Musk. Elon is on that stage jumping around skipping like a dipshit.

@matthewstoller the only way to stop a bad rich guy reality show host is with a good one

The guy from Shark Tank is touring the country telling you not to vote for the guy from The Apprentice. Those are the options.

@TamanishaJohn @JustinTPickett Because the claims being made are about "how young people experience policing" - the methods don't match the claims being made. Being transparent about your methodology does not give researchers permission to overgeneralize their findings.

Liberal personality politics/fan culture in a nutshell: it doesn't matter that Biden is in practice backing Netanyahu and his crimes to the hilt. What matters is alleged, epic backroom swears that allow you to imagine daylight where there is none. Politics as pure aesthetics.

[Peter Raleigh @PetreRaleigh]

This segment, which is well worth watching, illustrates with remarkable clarity the degree to which Coates's importance here lies in his status as an insider; he's been admitted to a caste otherwise totally off-limits to someone with the views he's now espousing

I wonder if there is a word for an attack whose primary aim is to create fear among the population rather than achieve an actual military objective

[James B @piercepenniless]

I really want to read (write?) something good on the prevalence of this kind of 'art': exculpatory, highly therapised, dogmatic, labile, jargonistic but fragile; all about message not form; 'radical' in a diffuse and vapid way; never difficult; never, ever, in any way surprising.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

This is extremely important. There is an effort to say that Netanyahu's war on Gaza and Palestinians only matters to a small group of people, but that is not the case. This issue matters to a broad swath of voters including unions, working people, Black, Brown, & young people.

@lhfang did you read this before posting it

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Over last decade or more, Dems were often told they had to sacrifice popular policy goals in order to preserve seats in swing districts, essential for Dem majority in house. Now Dems are willing to sacrifice swing seats in order to protect Joe Biden's unfounded belief that he alone can defeat Trump.

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Unfortunately, legal rulings are not made by dissents but by majority decisions. The liberal cult of "dissents" is a way of taking self-righteous pride in ones own powerlessness.

Good thing we dodged that bullet

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

all my tweets are about wearing nice little outfits

— fair wages to buy nice outfits
— housing to store those outfits
— free healthcare so you can wear outfits
— dealing with climate change so you can wear cool jackets
— walkable cities so people can admire your outfits

Therapists that thought AI wouldn't impact their clinical practice need to think again. The VA has just created a functioning AI prototype that listens to therapy or psychiatry appointments and will alert the therapist to bring in others if suicidal warning signs are detected.
