“This is not just something that impacts people in the ivory tower. This is not just something that impacts people who are physicians, or scientists, or academics…This is coming for you.”

I literally sent this to someone on Friday. Never have I related to Hank Hill more
PolComm folks - we don't talk enough about the fact that Philip Converse's sister, Elizabeth 'Connie' Converse, is maybe one of the most talented songwriters of her generation.

I'm worried that this place will eventually devolve into grifting and engagement farming, much like Threads did (at least on my feed).
As my inaugural post here, I figured I’d share this paper from last year on partisan asymmetries in tolerance for moral disengagement over seeing protestors “roughed up” and how consumption of partisan media mirrors those same asymmetries.
