Rogan keeps on talking up deep-in-the-rabbit-hole esoteric Nazi shit like Kali Yuga and prehistoric hyperboreo-atlantean super-civilizations, he absolutely knows the fire he's playing with and is just playacting the dumbass
Joe Rogan wants you to regard him as a passive observer just talking to buds but he knows he was key to the Trump campaign and will be key to the future Fuentes campaign.
Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis on Nick Fuentes running for president one day.

Rogan: “He could probably win in a few years. Listen, he couldn’t have existed before, right? Ten, twenty years ago, couldn’t have existed. Now, super popular. What’s twenty years from now look like?”

Trump says the people who “thought Epstein was the greatest guy on earth, only to drop him like a dog when things got too HOT” are “sleazebags.”

Trump is criticizing people who…stopped hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein?

You actually can't teach DisHist without military history.
There is no way around it--and most disability historians end up reading, writing and researching disability amongst veterans, soldiers and civilians in some capacity or the other.
The problem is some people don't acknowledge our work.
At a CHA six or so years ago two mil historians gave a paper citing the death of military history because only x-number of classes in Canada had those words in the title. Sitting there, having just taught a Disability History course with a large mil history component, I was stupefied.

The deployment of “ai” is not a case study in diffusion of innovation or adoption of new technology. It is a case study in coerced implementation, it is social engineering by the elite class and it’s bad for people and bad for the planet

This has nothing to do with faith or observance btw. It’s just about establishing an official hierarchy of citizenship where they are on top. bsky.app/profile/mark...

Talarico's interesting because he actually, in no sense, is a Democratic moderate: he just looks like one at first glance because he's a white, proudly Christian Texan. When you actually listen to what he says, he's very firmly progressive
The moderate choir boy they designed in a lab to win Texas didn't get the message that a commitment to human rights isn't supposed to apply to certain state actors. What to do now

Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name.

"These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."

the people who make "war" and "violence" the center of their everything assume that their focus on such things makes them more wise, more grounded, and inherently superior at it than those who pursue other fields

but endlessly repeating "we are good at a thing" does not in fact make you good at it
