I remember Edge.org being ubiquitous in the 2010s, back when evolutionary psychology and race science were having an unpleasant popular moment--"Billionaires really like thinkers who see their exploitation of the weak as a good and natural thing."
For the archaeologists, especially the ones into pre-marxist socialist utopian communes.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/
Glad to see some sort of spotlight on Huffman. I've always thought of him as, at best, a rather mousy nonentity. But, as with any machine Dem, his ineffectiveness is paid for.
Immigration authorities are being told “incitement” and “fighting words” are not protected by the First Amendment, per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...
These dancers are a common sight at Minneapolis protests and cultural events. Protesters are gathered around as they wait for the protest against ICE to start in south Minneapolis.

The US educational system.
I hope I never get trolled by Somali immigrants 😆

As an archaeologist, I wish I'd known there was a philosophical literature on the ontology of holes.
"Is there a more feckless, spineless opposition party anywhere in the democratic world? Why do Democrats insist on repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?"
Me for Zeteo's First Draft this morning on the Democratic surrender in the Senate:
"Widespread child sacrifice". And why brothels? These people are so goddam strange.
A union banner in the local labor temple. "Bartenders' League of America"
🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened:

Shades of the Ahnenerbe.
"Officials from the Israel Antiquities Authority have followed Israeli troops into occupied zones in search of artefacts."
'In these conditions, Chomsky’s injunction to choose dissent, to “speak the truth and to expose lies,” feels incomplete...Whatever power truth-telling might have had against fascism has been radically diminished.'
Good article, but we shouldn't be too comfortable with the idea that scientific racism is confined to the Right. Some of the most influential proponents of scientific racism are self-professed liberals.
Just causally dropping this here
