My whole career the Humanities seem to have been curled up in a defensive crouch trying to justify our meaning/existence. At times it has even seemed a productive thought exercise, but I think generally whatever body has demanded the justification is not really open to being persuaded of anything.

it’s frankly sexist to frame MAHA and adjacent pseudoscientific attitudes as if they’re solely or predominantly driven by women’s feelings or thwarted maternal instincts. and it gets us no closer to understanding MAHA, or defeating snake oil peddlers who are racking up a body count

we actually have to destroy the alt-health industry in its entirety, much like we also need to destroy car dealerships
I guess it’s important to communicate that MAHA is fundamentally an movement by individuals to capture health care dollars by lying to people about having products and services that work
When my wife’s Meta algorithms sniffed out that she’s pregnant a bunch of medical crankery started aggressively filing into her Facebook and Instagram feeds. “MAHA moms” happen because there is a lot of money being spent strategically preying on women going through a stressful experience.

Every major news outlet was scooped on the biggest sports story in the US this year by a podcaster, not because they don’t have the resources but because they all primarily do access journalism and boosterism instead of actual reporting.

have said this before but post-Covid the percentage of people who act like they are the protagonists of reality and everyone else is an NPC has ticked up from like 1% to 3% and that is enough of an increase that I encounter one of these people on a daily basis and I don't like it

Non-white people using drugs become The Incredible Hulk and must be gunned down is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
Interesting wrinkle to this is that cops touching fentanyl has the opposite effect on their nervous systems.

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van.
His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

Monday is the deadline for public comment! The Heritage Foundation has been mobilizing its members to leave comments in favor of the rule change, so every unique comment matters (don’t use a form letter or copy/paste—similar comments are batched and treated as one).
There's an OMB rule change that would require political oversight of scientific grants, and could pull any that don't "reflect presidential priorities"

Here’s what happens when you put politicians in charge of science
Proposed federal rules would rely on political appointees to decide how a lot of U.S. science gets done. History shows the consequences of such actions.
