Scary Mr. Olmec Man

God, the timing

Which is why it is so frustrating that many who speak in our name do

Yes, I hate this dumb trend of corporate Dems swearing to "show they are serious"

Yeah, I think what gives it away is that Zohran is simultaneously too religious/not religious enough in a lot of their posts

I think this conversation would be better if we ever had honest conversations about academic labor and its organizations beyond the context of LLMs, but I don't know if it would matter to this kind of booster, who is determined to be ignorant about every field they foist their tech on.

Oh boy, just what we needed, more papers produced more quickly!

There's an irony also to how AI boosters like to rhetorically pose as if they're reimagining knowledge production and then you read their concrete interventions and they're usually about boosting the most meaningless metrics in academia

Predictable and illustrative that Trump's shock win made the NYT think that they had to put in a surfeit of effort to understand Trump voters but Zohran's shock win has prompted the NYT to change...nothing.

lol oh God thinking about the old heads who like nothing better than tearing apart someone who they can tell doesn't really know what they're talking about

Like many settler-colonialists who are accustomed to having other people fight their battles, they are very arrogant

Like, if you bullshit your way to a sociology PhD, there is no great prize waiting for you at the end. It's not only wasting everyone else's time, it's wasting your time!

To put it bluntly, also, there will be no conversation between young American Jews and young Israelis if the latter are pro-Trump. I think Israelis should take that rupture seriously.

Sabras really believe that they can say one thing in English and another thing in Hebrew and nobody will notice.

I sort of understand undergraduates who use ChatGPT just to get the credential and then do other work, but I really do not understand people in humanities/social sciences who do this at the graduate level (I have a hard time understand a lot of these students' thought processes period...)

WHO IS PUMPED FOR GALLIPOLI 2?!?!

Wow, great photo

I think one thing to consider here is that Nazis frequently lie about their beliefs, and it is part of NYT ideology to never question whether someone is being honest about their self-reported political beliefs

an image of a baseball cap with "Hold Me In Contempt Until The Cows Come Home" written on it, and the following text from a fundraising email: "You asked and we listened: Our brand new "Until the Cows Come Home" hat, shirt, and sweatshirt are live now in the shop. Stand with Hillary Clinton and Onward Together today -- your purchase supports progressive groups and leaders fighting for our democracy until the cows come home (we had to!)."

Oh, here's Hilary Clinton, selling merch celebrating some clapback shit she said at a hearing about her connection to Jeffery Epstein. Truly nauseating.

lol episode 3 ended with a reference to The Conversation!

I want a lot more from the Democratic Party but I would settle for a party that punishes its enemies. We pay this fucker's bills and he spits in our faces. Enough! Cut his balls off!

What's almost more worrying about it to me than the actual policy is that the clearly coordinated rollout of this bullshit means they're all listening to some fucking moron who thinks it's a good idea.

No politics founded in the latter is reliable

it goes on b/c you put a 22-year-old in charge of counterterrorism, moved all your counterterrorism agents to arresting legal immigrants, and told liberal synagogues like the one that was attacked they no longer qualify for security grants, while saying any jew who doesn't support this is a traitor

damn……a true new york legend!!!! rest in peace he’s fucking that chicken in heaven now

One of the few things I agree w Trump about is about the Canadian dairy cartel.

The House of Al Khalifa stands out as worthless colonial running dog parasites even in that region of worthless colonial running dog parasites

lol of course HaDemocratim at 8, my contempt for the Israeli center-left, to the extent it exists, is boundless

It's fine with the ADL apparently, they're always ready to issue Elon and his antisemitism machine another pass
