The intensity of the conservative religious response to Talarico is interesting, partly because, again, his theology isn't really new.

It *is* unusual for a white, Southern male mainliner to make his liberal Christianity so central to his campaign that his *slogan is a Bible reference,* but…

India may not like doing business with China. But a solar farm imported from China can supply electricity for decades, while a cargo of LNG imported from the United States is burned up in days.

Pokopia's meta-story is about a generation of adults who disappeared from PokΓ©mon fandom, and now must return to their dusty memories, clean them off, and use them to rebuild their affection for dozens of little critters they'd long ago forgotten. It's a literal re-entry point for the series.

β€œMultifamily housing is for young renters and the poor while single family homes are for established adults with children” is a really pernicious folk theory about how housing markets should work that I think is foundational to so much bad housing policy at all levels of government.

I think for a lot of people, the scoffing came from the suggestion that bots were making up issues entirely out of whole cloth

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.

In case you were wondering about the state of free idea exchange in academia, this is where we are.

I appreciate colleagues reaching out. But I wish they'd say it publicly, especially if untenured. That's the only way to change this insanity where experts are afraid to speak up.
