the reality is that they have already won & they do not want to change anything. they want a strong republican party, as they say often. the only time they put any work in is to sabotage candidates running to the left of them, otherwise they just sit around doing insider trading

Barney has had to apologise over on X for libelling Frankie Boyle, claiming he played in Dubai in April 2025 when it was actually in the late 90s. The 'lineup' he used as a 'source' had Sean Hughes on it, who has been dead nearly a decade. I note he's happy to leave this shit up unaddressed on here

Another concept in this book that makes me think thoughts: "Fallacy of pre-figuration"—Assuming that reality has well-defined parts and properties that exist independently of all conceptualization. Boils down to objects of our discourse being necessarily mind-framed. Chang goes on to distinguish his
Reading Hasok Chang's Realism for Realistic People, I enjoy his concept of operational coherence (roughly, aim-oriented coordination of epistemic, or other, activities). It gives me a new perspective of replication studies as conceived in the reform movement. They're operationally incoherent...

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

This is one of the reasons as a humanist who does not believe in the supernatural, I am still not anti-theist. Everybody needs different frameworks to deal with the curse of consciousness and motivate right action, if it gets you over here on Team Decency, we can argue about the terms as we go.
UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview.
“They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

I love how slow Wikipedia moves during controversy. For YEARS after the "GamerGate" harassment campaign, editors refused to give up the URL of the *original* meaning of the word: A gamergate is a kind of ant.
Without a consensus to the contrary, the ants keep it.

It's irritating that they describe the effects of his racism as limited to causing controversy within science and reputational consequences for himself rather than giving an immeasurable boost, false veneer of legitimacy, and idiot-friendly prestige to modern scientific racism and eugenics.
