Drip, drip…
NEWS: Trump's in-person Iowa rally this weekend, scheduled for Dubuque on Sunday, has been canceled and replaced with a tele-rally, according to three sources familiar with the decision. The idea is to maximize Trump’s time and reach as many voters as possible, one source said, and tele-rallies allow him to cover more ground.

It is in the public’s interest to know whether its elite universities are holding their scholars to high standards. There was substantial evidence that Jason Arday widely committed plagiarism, committed academic fraud, and was a serial fabulist. There is also evidence that Cambridge lowered its standards when they hired him and then proceeded to look the other way when reports of his academic misconduct started to emerge—as they are doing now as they have withdrawn their pledge to investigate his hiring.
He has not been “cleared” of plagiarism. He allegedly plagiarized in multiple papers, including those neither covered by the journal that looked into the of his that they’d published and had required substantial corrections nor by the university that granted him his PhD.
Arday also clearly and demonstrably lied about his life in service of career advancement, fame and income.

Peter Jukes still thinks Jason Arday appropriated another academic’s data and passed it off as his own by accident.

Sorry to hear about the death of Sir Patrick Stewart, a local hero round our way who will be much missed. In a previous job, I had to briefly look after him when he attended an event we were hosting and I'm pleased to say that he was an absolute gent from start to finish.

Arday's thesis had similar problems, as Gideon MK outlined: substack.com/home/post/p-211…

Patrick Stewart in lockdown reading my favorite sonnet, Sonnet 73, “That Time of Year Thou May’st in Me Behold.” RIP.

NEW: Our reporting found the recent Starlink outage in Ukraine could be part of an elaborate upsell.
When U.S. officials asked Musk's company about it, they were told the problem could be fixed by upgrading to a new contract.

.@Timodc was on the Charlie Kirk Show yesterday as the hosts suggested Renee Good deserved to die. @DavidAFrench on their claim that the left wanted her killed for political gain:
“It’s incredibly dangerous and it’s wrong. It is fundamentally at odds with reality.”

Bill Clinton is a stepson of a car dealer and a son of a nurse from Arkansas. He studied philosophy, economics and politics at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and graduated from Yale Law School, where he met Hillary.

Boundless depravity from Vivek Ramaswamy, and the President and Vice President who embrace this trash campaign.
Amy Acton's stepfather's surviving biological daughter spoke to The Daily Mail when they knocked on her door in Ohio, while sobbing.
She said: She believed Amy's story, because her father raped her sister more than once (the victim in this 1974 indictment); she remembered Amy lived in a tent with Donna and Cledith; it's been terrible for her family to see Vivek's ad run in Ohio; and she heard rumors her father had victimized even more young girls.

I think you're being unfair to Jack, who pursued a public interest story diligently and was met with lies and legal threats. Had he been able to publish his piece, subsequent events might have turned out very differently.

"If [Musk] pulls the plug on Starlink in Ukraine, other countries could deem the service unreliable ...But those projects will not be ready until next year at the earliest. Until then, the world’s richest man will be largely free to decide Ukraine’s fate."

Jews comprise roughly 1.4% of the Michigan electorate. Muslims account for about 2.4%. And only a fraction of either group are swing voters.
Every vote matters. But The Discourse exaggerates the importance of Michigan Jews in 2026 (and of the state's Muslim voters in 2024)
.@VanJones68 says Abdul El-Syed has a "real problem" winning over black and Jewish voters in Michigan.
"Part of it is self inflicted...he needs to denounce these ads and put this coalition back together."
@ScottJenningsKY: "the reason he gets attacked like this...is he brings it on himself."

Well, it was always obvious to any one with any knowledge of the area. Kazakhstan was actually one of the least antisemitic Muslim majority countries (Albania even less!). And that’s probably also relevant, although he does not mention it.
Sacha Baron Cohen apologizes to Kazakhs for Borat for the first time
The actor said that Borat originally had nothing to do with Kazakhstan.
The character was initially conceived as an Albanian, with other options, including Moldova, considered later.
When the project moved to HBO, Cohen chose Kazakhstan because international audiences knew little about the country.
The actor admitted that the Kazakh embassy’s complaint at the beginning of the project was entirely justified.
“I’m very sorry. I apologize to you. I can’t imitate your accent. I don’t know how you speak. You don’t look anything like Borat!” Cohen said.

I think social media platforms need to take a hard line on stuff like this. I don't know if it should be banned outright but it at least needs a SATIRE/AI marking or something. This is different, in its convincingness, than anything we've seen before.
RFK: "I might get in trouble for saying this..." Unreal.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is AI-generated satire from an account known for producing fake RFK clips with "Unreal" captions and end disclaimers; no such speech exists.
