i don't know if this is just me bc of things i've been reading? it also brings to mind the pullman rail company and the pullman porters

Between "dress better when you fly" and seeing several articles about "why don't Americans dress better when they" in major publications, it feels like there's a creeping move toward classism disguised as fashion or taste happening and it feels very intentional.

once 'the pullman porters' started demanding a wage and asking for tips instead of accepting whatever they were given, they were presented in print, etc as being poorly kept, pants raggedly, shoes coming apart, looking like a beggar

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I hope this does not apply to me, at least not too much, but it's starting to become clear that men infected by toxic masculinity often have no idea.
They have no clue that their behavior is sometimes that of an asshole.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

The problem with people who are used to being the smartest person in the room is that they often lose the ability to recognize the times when they aren't.
Physicians and academics often believe that they/we are immune to being radicalised online, but the reality is the opposite. No one is immune, and I saw this happen to Prasad and so many other physicians and academics when covid started. It’s pure hubris to believe anyone is immune.
Prasad is exhibit A of Twitter brain. Someone needs to do a detailed case report tracking his decline from reasonable skeptic of high price oncology drugs with questionable outcomes to COVID mask skeptic to full on vaccine skeptic. It was all in plain site on Twitter, and a hell of thing to see.
