I always think it's funny when right-wing types get mad at Star Wars for becoming "woke." They didn't notice the obvious fascist imagery? They didn't realize that they were the villains in this whole cinematic universe? So unobservant! I would never make that mistake! I'd know if I was the villain in a whole cinematic universe!

Anyway, I can't wait to watch the second installment of Dune! What'll happen next in Arrakis(Iraq)? Will the spice(oil) flow? Will Paul's Jihad topple the empire(us)?

📺 Nazi Town, USA | PBS

In February 1939, more than 20,000 Americans filled Madison Square Garden for an event billed as a “Pro-American Rally.” Images of George Washington hung next to swastikas and speakers railed against the “Jewish controlled media” and called for a return to a racially “pure” America.

Remember: The stuff going down in Texas is Abbot vs the Supreme Court.

They want to frame it as Abbot vs Biden, but they're defying the Supreme Court.

The constitution's supremacy clause is very clear that Federal Law is always supreme to State Law.

This President was completely nuts. If you want to understand who the south is, you need to understand who Jackson was.

I finally started reading Dune. A quarter of the way in and can see why it is such a beloved classic.

An important reminder of about the downstream effects of intolerance in the US, from page 167 of Democracy Awakening, by Heather Cox Richardson.

I regret to say it but as the one time author of the top search result for "what is a correlation" (random win I never get to put on a resume lol), I feel some grounds to say WAY too many people internalized the single phrase "correlation is not causation" and then never listened to a single other thing about research design or causal evidence and at this point I feel it's done as much data literacy harm as the original confusion.
