Brutal clarity in this FT mapping of Israel’s Gaza relocation plan: crushing two million civilians into a tiny strip of land and drip-feeding them aid, producing conditions that will be unbearable at best and deadly at worst. Aditi Bhandari & Mehul Srivastava, @financialtimes.com on.ft.com/4mHB7rm

Hey, ever notice how people in power ~HATE~ collective activism: protests, unions, solidarity movements, etc.? And that they'd much rather you we can individually and "politely"? There's a reason. Collective action works and individual politeness DOES NOT. It's not complicated.

Back in 2020 a number of Linguistic Society of America members asked whether we wanted such a person serving as a highly visible public advocate for the field. Perhaps there is a lesson for Harvard here, as well.

Pinker has been a loud-and-proud voice for anti-intellectualism and a promoter of chin-stroking race-science platforms such as Quillette for a decade. This isn't lack of awareness. It's an attempt to protect his extremely lucrative brand from association with the causes that helped build it.

The top economics journal in the world nearly published an article that, to all appearances, is 100% bullshit. It claimed that AI accelerates scientific discovery. An MIT PhD student appears to have used generative AI to fabricate the whole thing, data and all.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

A question I somehow haven't heard anyone (in office/media) ask: the folks we (illegally, unconstitutionally, wickedly) abducted to El Salvador haven't been charged/sentenced for anything in either country AFAIK; so are they now supposed to rot in prison for life?

As discussed here, there is a real resistance among leftists like me to leaning too heavily on "science." But it's worth seeing that part of the issue is a pop science / working science gap. Like, the Joe Rogan complex finds very working allies in mainstream evolutionary psychology (evo psych). 1/n

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
