@realmsunknown.bsky.social 0n your mention of the terrible take on justifying awful behaviour in Manacled, redemption arcs are a large feature of a lot of SFF, so I thought that might make a good subject for a future deep dive

An excellent job on Dr Suzanne Humphries lying about vaccines on Joe Rogan
The Know Rogan Experience #0017, breaking down Joe's March 2025 interview with antivaxxer Dr Suzanne Humphries, is out now.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=32mP...
Here Joe and Suzanne talk - wrongly - about how polio vaccines are dangerous, smallpox is easy to treat, and no vaccine has ever been helpful.

Another data point to suggest the US is sliding from pluralistic democracy towards authoritarianism, similar to what we've seen in Turkey and Hungary
President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”
Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so
President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”

Putin can be defeated. Why are we backtracking now?
Why don’t we just give Zelensky the proper funds to finish the job properly rather than tying up troops we don’t have on the ground indefinitely?
