For one thing, don’t report every individual piece of shit or the most colourful & flaming piece of shit. Report the themes, with examples, & always report the context, especially what is being flooded out by the shit. Never let the audience lose sight of what the shit is meant to distract it from.

Calling all linguists, esp. corpus folks, and digital researchers, One of my students wants to research a grammatical cx on Twitter/X, but the Musk regime restricts searches. Would anyone who has Enterprise or Research access be willing to help? #linguistics #corpuslinguistics #academicbluesky

“We may have to rename this show because you’re a little bit more than a far-right Republican.”

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social called out a self-proclaimed ‘fascist’ on the show ‘Surrounded’ where he debated 20 far-right Republicans.

When a president promotes sadism and abuse you know that the abuses will quickly get worse.
In a few short months the US has moved from kidnapping people off the streets to building concentration camps.
There will be much darker days ahead.

I try to avoid commenting on US politics except unless it directly affects Canada (tariffs, 51st state horseshit), but this! Jesus! If this doesn't prove unequivocally that the Trump administration hates women then I don't know what proof is. www.science.org/content/arti...

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"

This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Gleichschaltung is the word you're looking for, @theguardian.com
Rubio declares himself head of USAid as workers locked out of office. Subheading: secretary of state says he has assumed control of agency to 'align' it with Trump's priorities The Nazi term Gleichschaltung (German pronunciation: [ˈɡlaɪçʃaltʊŋ] ⓘ), meaning "synchronization" or "bringing into line", was the process of Nazification by which Adolf Hitler—leader of the Nazi Party in Germany—established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society "from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture and education".[1]

Trump is probably not capable of learning, per se, but it will be inescapable even to him that we are polite and congenial until we’re cornered. Then we’re badgers. The Mexicans are pretty tough as well. Vive le Canada! ¡Viva México! Wishing sanity and kindness returns to our US neighbours.

Biden's pardons attempt to inoculate people against political persecution. Trump's pardons reward people for violence, treason, and celebrating his cult of lies.
