āSlopā was Merriam-Websterās 2025 Word of the Year, defined as low-quality digital content produced by AI. But the ISA conference was a reminder that the vast majority of slop has always been human slop. The academic journal system and big conferences in much of the humanities and social sciences were slop factories long before anyone had a ChatGPT subscription. Yes, I really mean that most research is slop.3
Goddess, please give me the arrogance of a man who mentioned a dictionary definition of a word and then goes on to redline it on his own.

In Article About Horrific Shooting That Killed Eight Children, Forbes Lets Readers Place Bets About Gun Control
In a story about a mass shooting that left eight children dead, Forbes is encouraging readers to bet on the news with fake money.
Forbes has long been a joke (who wants to tell Mika?) but this is below even my low expectations for it. Thoughtless greed.

Trump on CNBC talking to Joe Kernen claimed Iranian leaders killed 42,000 protesters. This has been debunked. Itās a lie. Both Trump & Kernen know itās a lie. It still amazes be that facts no longer matter. This is so dangerous. It leads to totalitarian control and the state creates its own reality.

Leaders like Magyar create templates for the future and for future governments. Like Mamdani in NYC who is creating a template for other cities. Sad that the US needs pointers on how to do the right thing, but since 2025 we no longer have a government--we have piracy.

Dems need to win in Virginia to take back the House. Itāll be tight.
If approved, the redistricting effort could deliver Democrats a 10-to-1 seat advantage in Virginia, which amounts to a net pickup of as many as four House seats.
āI always thought THIS VA campaign would be close,ā Democratic strategist Jared Leopold.
Can VA voters in the light blue state set aside long-standing distaste for partisan gerrymandering to counter a redistricting fight set in motion by Trump last year?
