6·11 hours agoAnd Weevil’s right. This goes much, much further back than Donald. He’s really only doing what the US has always done, and just doesn’t care to hide it like his predecessors tried to.
FlashMob is right about Weevil being right.
And if you’ve got an hour and a half to dedicate to a podcast, here is that debate played out on stage, with a fun role reversal because at the time it was Obama in office. Please note the cynicism of the “conservatives” arguing for the motion.

politics @lemmy.world•Is there any legal justification for the US attack on Venezuela?
54·2 days agoAh yes. Let’s ideate on a person we have no control or influence over instead of people in political power whom we do have a degree of influence over. Surely spinning our tires over how bad Trump is instead of focusing pressure on, at least allegedly, politically aligned individuals we might be able to make demands of.
Shouting into the void about ‘Trump’ bad instead of focusing criticism where it might make a difference is a better strategy.
We get it. “Orange man bad”, but Schumer’s and Jefferies basically supporting this is actually worse because they are litterally the only tools we have at our disposal to stop him.

2·3 days agoI agree that in general meta analysis stands apart, but I brought it up because it’s so often coupled with a deep review of material like a review article would hold. It’s also totally valid to cite a review article as a primary source, but I tend not to prefer this in my writing. My reasons for this are two fold, first, one of my memories was a curmudgeon who insisted on going all the way back through any chain if claims and citations to find, originally source, and reevaluate each claim. And, in doing so, regularly found irregularities and misattributed statements or just straight up mysteries of where the hell someone got something from. Its a pita, but it pays to be detail oriented when evaluating claims a domain has just accepted as table stakes.
This litterally happened to me recently where I was trying to figure out how this, fairly well known author had determined the functional form they were fitting to a curve. And like, three or four citations deep and a coffee with a colleague of theirs later, it turns out “they just made that shit up”.

Genuinely and without irony, thank you for creating content last year and into this next year, whatever it brings. Some days its the one of the only things I get a chuckle out of.














What a fucking coward.
