I think each individual has their pathway to whatever they define as success.
Perhaps the one thing that makes me feel most successful (and never fails to make me feel that way) is my students, my thesis graduates, those whose work and brains I have molded and those I have helped succeed.

This is not a humble-brag thread, it's more a recognition of how much spite has motivated me.
I wanted to succeed IN SPITE of what everyone else told me.
"You have too many research interests. Tenure committees won't respect that."
"You've worked across too many research areas/fields"

The veteran / military component of QAnon - like Skull Games (or the Proud Boys or Patriot Prayer to an extent) - was also about expressly shielding law enforcement and the protestant church from scrutiny.
They were a Praetorian Guard for the worst criminals.

Qanon existed as a kind of cognitive dissonance movement for child abusers and guys who mainline csam to not think of themselves as monsters
Qanon was never about taking down actual pedophiles and pursuing justice for victims. It was about smearing any and all prominent liberal figures while protecting and empowering actual pedophiles. Qanon was a movement of pedophiles, protecting pedophiles.

Jeffrey Epstein sent a link to the white nationalist podcast The Right Stuff, whose core hosts played an active role in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally. He did so in February 2016. Before TRS made national news, really.

For those who are interested: this photo was taken by Ron Haeberle at My Lai on March 16, 1968. The soldier is SP4 Fred W. Dustin, 3rd Platoon, Charlie Company, whose job it was to burn the houses in the village - the so-called zippo-squad - after the first two platoons had already swept through.

I am baffled why Thiel gets invited to prestigious places. But I'm equally bewildered why he gets away with lamenting 50 years of stagnation when he, himself, has been involved with funding 'innovation' for nearly 30 years now. Is he perhaps to blame for stagnation? www.politico.eu/article/trum...

The talking point was always, “we want to deport people who ‘cut in line’ ahead of people who came here legally.”
This, too, was a lie. It has always been about xenophobia and racism.

We profiled refugees who:
Arrived in the country legally.
Applied for green cards.
Were arrested by ICE and detained.
One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released.
This is an unprecedented operation.
