Whoever made this is my new favorite person.

This is worrying. We've only started using robots ourselves.

Murray pretends to mistake a change in survey design for a change in self-identity, & then pretends that right-wing outrage about eg CRT reflects reality, & claims that the latter non-existent phenomena explains the former. Playing to the gallery or just intellectual dishonesty?

Good work by everybody who made it through today without misplacing a small leopard. To those who DID misplace a small leopard, good work not misplacing a larger leopard

Workplace Management Training: "If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there, and no one can follow you." My first thought: Cool, that sounds like great advice!

Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

the recent race science discourse on twitter reminds me of the time a Race Science guy on a menswear forum went on for years about how non-white people have lower IQs, and then it was revealed that he was wearing size 10 shoes when he had size 7 feet

Apparently, accurately quoting someone's weird racist blog post makes it a "hit piece." I don't know how one is supposed to soft-peddle claims like this so that quoting it isn't an attack, but apparently, the student newspaper didn't try hard enough...

By “pile-on” Nathan seems to mean “accurately reporting what I in fact wrote.” This performative upset at news outlets boosting his blog post & reporting his stated views is just beyond lazy.

This is just amazing. Bronski & Emil took survey “data” that was adequate for perhaps some cute anecdotes about fields’ perceptions of themselves, & managed to turn it into just pure racist & sexist crap. It’s startling - it *almost* takes talent to twist the world that badly!

For all the people who think that Haidt wasn't thinking about "race" in his list of "left denialism," it is clear from the replies Murray gathers here at least that the scientific racists think that's what he was thinking!

The fact that it's so easy to confuse etymology and entomology is just one of those linguistic bugs

You know, every once in a while I manage to forget just how awful philosophers can be, and then something like this (dailynous.com/2024/05/30/phi…) happens. "What an asshole" doesn't begin to do it justice.
