That's not what you have seen, and they have not missed the point.
“I've seen secularists bemoan greater Democratic comfort with religion as a kind of erosion of church and state from the left. But they miss the point…It is purposefully and strategically countering a dangerous ideology rooted in a form of Christianity.”

This piece was inspired by @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @robertpjones.bsky.social new books and argues for a messaging strategy tailored specifically to white evangelicals, probably the most influential bloc in our politics and 1/3 of Trump's coalition.

I asked him if he ever got any bulk orders, or had thoughts on how to scale up or manufacture them more efficiently. He looked at me like I was crazy. He *likes* doing them one at a time, it's his passion, and since he lives in a civilized country, he doesn't *need* to worry about scaling up.

This story is so very Republican. A barbaric government run by people too stupid to listen to experts, so they can’t even carry out their own murderous policies according to plan. Violence and idiocy.
"We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy."

I would add to this that the whole point of an academic publications is that they are supposed to be records of things you have learned through careful scholarship. If they contain non-existent references, they are a misrepresentation of what is assumed to be the process behind the product.
If you encounter a manuscript that includes references to articles that do not exist, is that evidence of fraud? Or could it indicate something else---an accident, an oversight, something innocent, not worthy of the term "fraud"?
My position is that it is fraud. Here is why.

I would like to convince you both that submitting citations to articles that do not exist is clearly fraud, and should be treated as such. I do not do this to be argumentative, but in the spirit of open debate. I am going to quote-post this and will go from there.

Agree with this & I'd broaden it: as income inequality increases, the affluent class increasingly strains to free itself of public services. Those services suffer & the flywheel accelerates.
Only way to stop is to say, for certain things, no: you have to use the same shit as us.

this is usually the conservative play with unpopular wars — of course I support ending it, but ending it by *winning* not your bad plan of ending it by *losing* — like no one ever thought of winning the war before they suggested it
Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, who's running for Senate, says the Iran war "needs to be brought to a successful and immediate end." A messaging pivot: Hinson voted NO six times on House resolutions directing Trump to end the Iran war — including as recently as last week.

This doesn’t answer the deeper question of “what the fuck good is all that money when climate change kills us all?” But it’s good to have an inside window I guess.
A common response is "if they know this, why keep drilling?" At BP, many have not internalized the stakes personally. At ExxonMobil, the stakes are well understood, but they're locked in a race for market share, believing if they don't extract it, a competitor will.

FWIW I think Starship Troopers is tricky b/c it depicts a fascist *utopia.* Most of what we learn about fascism are the warning signs of its advance: agitation about the “enemy within,” etc. In the movie that enemy has already been vanquished, so we don’t see the societal tension we’d expect.
