Our very rational 2024 swing voters were adamantly opposed to elderly presidents, which is they voted against the 60yo woman in favor of... the 80yo man whose dementia compels him to brag about his endless greed and his lust for men.

I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t afford to eat a burger at Mar-a-Lago OR Cheesecake Factory. Is it just me or is the Trump economy worse for everyone except the billionaires and oligarchs? What say you?

has there been a proper reexamination among people who thought trump was the less hawkish option in 2024? it can't just be "we were lied to"...he almost started a war with iran the first time! nearly everyone who wanted a war with iran supported him!

One of the things that got me about the @DMSabatini story was the allegation that his lab promoted “bro culture.” Not only is being a bro not a crime (no matter what some might have you think) but labs, especially ones that operate at such a high level, rely on people being motivated, being inspired, and yes, having fun. I loved Sabatini’s response to my question in my interview with him for @PirateWires, on how American science has become corporate and sterile:
As I exited my video call with @DMSabatini, whom I interviewed for @PirateWires via @IWF, all I could think was: here is a scientist who has made some of the biggest breakthroughs of our age—a man who is exceptional, definitionally abnormal in the best sense of the word; here he is, begging for “normal.” The people who put him in such a position—including Kristin Knouse, his ex who was found by a jury to have defamed him by falsely calling him a “rapist”—remain employed by the Whitehead Institute. Full piece in the replies.

The loss extended far beyond Dr. Sabatini. The whole country suffers when institutions entrusted with advancing knowledge reward the behavior of Sangeeta Bhatia. When I first became a tenure-track professor, I was quickly disillusioned by how little interest so many of my colleagues seemed to have in science. It shocked me because it made no sense. My love of science was why I took the job. I accepted much less pay and much longer hours because it gave me the chance to devote myself to something I loved. Many colleagues seemed far more interested in chasing prestige and stature within the university. I had assumed that people who made those sacrifices shared my priorities. Finding out otherwise was a profound disappointment. You can see those priorities on display in Sangeeta Bhatia’s messages. In the exchanges, you can see celebration of David’s destruction and no concern for the science and knowledge being lost. He was a scientist with far greater scientific accomplishments than hers. Yet, Bhatia was someone directing a cancer research center at MIT and treated as an authority on advancing cancer research. Dr. Sabatini’s work laid the foundations for a major field of drug development, including cancer therapies. Dismantling his laboratory meant interrupting the work of someone whose discoveries had already opened enormous scientific and therapeutic possibilities. None of that concern is visible in these exchanges. This is what happens when universities reward bureaucratic hacks who promote their personal causes, work their way into leadership, and use institutional authority to pursue those causes while the science suffers. Her titles remain, even as the institution decays. People involved in removing Dr. Sabatini retained their positions of stature or advanced. His laboratory was dismantled. Years of work were interrupted, scientific were lost, the careers of the poeple he was mentoring were disrupted and the people celebrating kept their authority. Meanwhile, MIT puts on a show claiming merit is its main focus while the place rots behind the veneer of excellence it displays to the public.
🚨 BOMBSHELL COURT EVIDENCE EXPOSES EXPLOSIVE PRIVATE MESSAGES REVEALING COORDINATION BETWEEN KRISTIN KNOUSE AND MIT PROFESSOR SANGEETA BHATIA IN THE DAVID M. SABATINI ORDEAL. 🔱 NEW REVELATION — Court evidence exposes how Knouse and Bhatia privately celebrated Sabatini’s removal, discussed the potential destruction of his professional career, and anticipated the revocation of his @MIT tenure. An 80-message exchange between Kristin Knouse and MIT Professor Sangeeta Bhatia, dated August 20–21, 2021, reveals their private reactions immediately following Whitehead Institute and HHMI's severance of ties with Professor @DMSabatini. The communications contain statements that deserve serious public examination. 🔴 1. “YOU DID IT” — “AND HE’S OUT.” On August 20, 2021, Bhatia congratulated Knouse: 🔴 “YOU DID IT. You crossed the finish line. It's out in the open. And you're not out in the open. And you're on the faculty. And he's out.” Knouse responded: 🔴 “You connecting me to Nancy [Hopkins]was the turning point. I will never forget that walk in Lexington.” 🔴 2. “THIS WAS THE OUTCOME I DREAMED OF.” The following morning, as news coverage spread, Knouse discussed the possibility of Sabatini losing his MIT tenure: 🔴 “Hard to imagine MIT will be left with any choice other than to revoke tenure.” Bhatia responded: 🔴 “You're right about tenure” She subsequently wrote: 🔴 “This was the outcome I dreamed of but NEVER certain I would get it.” Knouse also described her assessment of Whitehead's handling of the matter: 🔴 “And as skeptical as I was of Whitehead's end game, in the end I think the overall process was perfectly executed.” Bhatia expressed her approval of Whitehead Institute Director Ruth Lehmann: 🔴 “I'm proud of Ruth [Lehmann]” These exchanges occurred months before MIT's April 2022 tenure-revocation recommendation. 🔴 3. THE PROFESSIONAL CONSEQUENCES — BEYOND WHITEHEAD. The participants also discussed Sabatini's corporate affiliations and prospects for future employment. Knouse wrote: 🔴 “I know of one company already speaking with lawyers to remove him on grounds of morality clause.” She subsequently stated: 🔴 “Hard to imagine how he can be gainfully employed anywhere after the past 24 hours ...” These were not merely discussions about an institutional investigation. They extended to the potential consequences for Sabatini's career, tenure, corporate affiliations, and future livelihood. 🔴 4. THE DIVERSITY SURVEY AND PROTECTION FROM PUBLIC IDENTIFICATION. In another particularly consequential exchange, Bhatia wrote: 🔴 “Also the dei survey and subsequent investigation really protects you, which I love. There is not even a scent of whistleblower in all the press.” This statement takes on particular significance alongside the previously disclosed communications in which Knouse and Nora Kory discussed using Whitehead's diversity survey to conceal an investigation already under consideration (📑 see the original court evidence in the first comment below). 🔴 5. “WE DRANK CHAMPAGNE” — CELEBRATING AS THE NEWS SPREAD. Perhaps the most striking exchange appears on KK011419. On August 21, 2021, Knouse declared: 🔴 “I KNOW! Young people took down a relatively young king. Progress, progress, progress.” Knouse also wrote: 🔴 “Two other women who came forward and I drank champagne while watching the Tweets and articles roll in last night. It felt like campaign headquarters after an election victory. Really special.” Bhatia responded: 🔴 “That's awesome.” These exchanges reinforce the serious concerns about coordination and conflicts of interest raised by our previous disclosures. Their significance must be assessed alongside the full documentary record and the subsequent jury verdict. The scientific community deserves full accountability for any misconduct established by the evidence, including the roles of individuals who participated in or improperly influenced the institutional processes that subjected Professor Sabatini to a devastating ordeal and profoundly damaged his career. 📑 REVIEW THE ORIGINAL COURT EVIDENCE BELOW. 🔱 ScienceGuardians™ Legal and Investigative Team MORE COURT EVIDENCE. MORE REVELATIONS. STAY TUNED. ⚠️ @SciGuardians 🔱

How could Joe Rogan possibly know Donald Trump was a liar, except by following Trump's extremely public career from 1987 to 2024? xitter.cf/PollTracker2024/status…

People who don't bother following the "manosphere" might not be aware of just how much the vibes have shifted over the last two years since Trump's election. The streamers now basically all hate each other, and some are facing serious criminal charges. The podcasters, especially those in the Rogansphere, are increasingly disillusioned with Trump and leaning back toward being less interested in politics. Some of Joe's own audience have left him in protest over his soft treatment of Trump, his friendships and covering for the tech bros. There's an entire YouTube ecosystem that has popped up of commentators posting video essays mocking Joe and his podcast buddies. I would especially recommend the "elephant graveyard" video essays.

Fundamentally, even if the dispatcher did make a mistake, he should have never been in a position to make one with such catastrophic consequences. Interlockings exist for a reason, and fallback procedures, whilst necessary, must be as restrictive as possible. This is systemic.
