Instead of this format where dumb people and opinions gets over-represented we should have a jubilee video where 20 climate scientists bully a climate change denier until they cry.

This thread is very astute: the scholars and intellectuals who predicted the rise of Trumpism were largely humanists with training in philosophy, history, etc. NOT quantitative social scientists. To use one of myriad examples, Richard Rorty had this pegged three decades ago.
Replying to @jasonwblakely
If you look at who had early insight into MAGA they were either historians, philosophers & theorists (who all share humanistic historical training) or cultural critics & journalists outside the academy who aren't blinded by some big ahistorical wonkish theory or data mania

The rise of MAGA should inspire a massive paradigm shift in the study of U.S. political science towards more historical & cultural approaches. The reigning schools—institutionalism, behavioralism & rat'l choice—all failed to grasp the biggest event in US politics in a generation

“I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us” that’s my guy.
Nicolas Cage says "protect yourselves from AI." “There is another world that is also disturbing me, and it’s happening right now around all of us — the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. That is a dead end if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only. We can’t let that happen. The job of all art in my view, film performance included, is to hold a mirror to the external and internal stories of the human condition through the very human thoughtful and emotional process of recreation. A robot can’t do that. If we let robots do that, it will lack all heart and eventually lose edge and turn to mush. There will be no human response to life as we know it. It will be life as robots tell us to know it. I say, protect yourselves from AI interfering with your authentic and honest expressions.” Read more here: variety.com/2025/film/news/n…

Ohio is in population decline, continues to fall in all education metrics, and like half the state is employed by auto manufacturers about to get slammed with tariffs….and this is what our state government is worried about

Surprised, Outraged and Can’t Understand What is Going On I used to have a ritualistic argument with my partner concerning her affective politics. Whether she is talking about coal mining, abortion, Zionist colonialism or opposition to bike lanes in the city, she always expresses

Sherrod Brown has done nothing but work his ass off for Ohioans and will lose his seat to a car salesman whose entire platform is “I hate trans people and I love Donald Trump” I am disgusted

It is the most egregious ballot language manipulation ever pulled off in Ohio. But when you have a state supreme court that determines boneless wings can have bones and laws limited to a single subject can have multiple subjects, you can kinda do what you want.
Just voted and reread the Issue 1 ballot language. What a stain on Frank LaRose and the Ohio Supreme Court. Campaigning is prohibited in the polling place, but they did it right there on the ballot.

The @bbcnews just said we are heading towards 3.2C warming. That means absolutely nothing to the public. Tell them what it means.

Here is a short video of one of the 1st Klamath River salmon to make it to the tributaries above the former Iron Gate Dam. The clip was recorded last Friday by Yurok Fisheries Dept Geologist Kayah Ray, who is part of a team surveying salmon in the newly undammed river reach.
