I had a dream.
Some men had constructed the world’s most difficult obstacle course.
Mighty Achilaos was to attempt to beat the course, at the festival.
Achilaos ran the course so swiftly and so perfectly we could barely see him moving. Not only was he the swiftest, but the most graceful. Everyone was silent as we witnessed a feat no other mortal could accomplish.
Could even might Achilaos sustain such perfection of motion through all the many obstacles, each different and more difficult than the last? Surely he must tire, must falter.
As Achilaos finished his flawless run, only one in the crowd of silent onlookers voiced what we were all thinking:

“Motherfucker unicorn!”
Yes, the run of mighty Achilaos on the course was indeed A MOTHERFUCKER UNICORN.

So, I had a look at this. PinkNews, needless to say, wildly misrepresents the study.
There are two areas where GUESSES people make correlate with their biases.

The guesses are ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE just from the political bias which is known.

The study does not, as it should have, distinguish between correct guesses and knowledge.

Just had a dispiriting conversation (sort of) with a friend who, I learn, has a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I cannot fathom how otherwise linguistically competent people can impute such insane and malicious meanings to Trump’s otherwise reasonably plain words.
There is something opposite to the Principle of Charity at play here—call it the Principle of Malice: when it is Trump, his words are *always* to be taken in the worst possible light, no matter how *wildly implausible*, no matter how much language must be tortured to get there.
My friend is (apparently) absolutely convinced that Trump told people to INJECT DISINFECTANT to cure COVID.

Let’s talk about this bit of dishonesty from Dr. Jillian Ford of Kennesaw State University. ImageImage
She says

1 Critical Race Theory says that racism is an everyday occurrence for people of color
2 Critical Race Theory does not say that white people are inherently oppressive
3 Critical Race Theory is “not about individual behavior” but “about systems and policies”
Contra 1: This is an EQUIVOCATION designed to hide what CRT teaches. CRT doesn’t say that racism is an “everyday occurrence” AS PER individual experience, but that racism is EVERYWHERE AT ALL TIMES. You know, in the SYSTEMS and POLICIES.

“It means neither lying nor apologizing just because the crowd expects you to, least of all under the absurd implication that doing so makes you more virtuous and brave.”

To go along with the crowd is NOT brave. It is to submit to the Greatest Sophist:
“It's the refusal to be concerned with what other people think of you when you’re being yourself and the recognition that it doesn’t make sense to apologize for being true to yourself and your values, telling the truth as well as you can see it, or making a joke, even a bad one.”
“Being based means tolerating most of what’s done in good faith or to lighten the mood. It’s being real with lots of room to play. It elevates the worthy without falling into the indulgent trap of “celebrating” the ordinary, mediocre, and fake.”

A Manifesto for the Based newdiscourses.com/2021/05/manife… via @NewDiscourses
@NewDiscourses 1 Do not LIE, even when the tyrants command you to
2 Laugh at tyrants
@NewDiscourses “While ‘it could never happen here’ is a bit of wishful thinking applied to the question of whether the Nazi regime could ever be repeated in the U.S. the ideological conditions and general cowardice that enable these sorts of catastrophes have already come knocking at our door.”

Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896)

Justice Harlan’s dissent
“The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is, in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth, and in power.”
“So, I doubt not, it will continue to be, if it remains true to its great heritage and holds fast to the principles of constitutional liberty. But in the view of the Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens.”
