Salon is no more. I think there's a song about that...

If you are concerned about a killer tweet-quote being fake or not, you do not understand rhetoric.
Most people speak in rhetoric. What matters is not if a tweet-quote is real, but whether it points toward the truth or not. And that's when it is most effective.
Read Aristotle.

Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning.
Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor.
You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again.
You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid.
Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans.
Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview.
On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs.
You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+.
At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart.
You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March.
After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail.
Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent.
Your son grows upset. You change the channel.
Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work.
Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV.
Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen.
You sit alone in your living room.
You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you.
Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war.
And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now.
Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem.
For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending.
The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning:
You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work.
And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist.
What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?

Most "authority bioscience people" are midwits the conspiracy has elevated artificially to fill the role of the natural geniuses who domestic surveillance's school units are designed to suppress. I would not assume any of them understand anything. and they just repeat what they see written somewhere.
Obviously they are promoting easily debunkable clear falsities, while asserting it is fact, and telling everyone you have to believe they are the final word. Vox is one of the mathematically gifted who sees it is bullshit and is calling it out - which is a great service. I am degreed in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology, and I never heard this argument until Vox made it.
But people who really understand the science end up not only understanding how things work, they also understand we do not know about everything. Look at history, and theories pop up, some are wrong and get knocked down, others can be right and get knocked down, others can then come back after being debunked and turn out to be right after all, and it is all a result of the myriad of stresses we are designed to confront leading to us having umpteen backup and regulatory pathways, some almost never activated, others operating unnoticed behind far more massive pathways, and do forth.
I would not get my panties in a bunch over this argument because I have always assumed there would be other mechanisms to guide evolution, which we just do not know. Aspects of the way different atoms interact, or move, or are affected by outside variables which alter the rates of random mutations until they are not random, and those atoms tend to do things in the cytoplasm which tend to produce those structures, which work that way. There are probably mechanisms which detect high amounts of mRNA, conclude that the body needs a lot of that gene product because it is calling for large amounts of its template, and so they burn additional copies of the RNA sequence back into the DNA so more can be transxribed per time period.
When they introduced the vax, there was no way for the Spike mRNA to be retro-transcribed into the DNA. Then they found people still producing Spike years later, and it was clearly not the mRNA they were injected with.
Any biologist who attacks Vox here, I just assume is clueless, because anybody intelligent in the field knows we don't know anywhere near everything about the mechanisms involved. To me Vox's argument should be acknowledged and serve as an impetus to investigate why there is this disparity. It doubtless points to a Nobel-prize worthy discovery and a revolution in the undertanding.
It is probably just a result of all the authorities in the nation being theater-kids from the domestic surveillance, pretending to be experts, but their side is so retarded here I almost wonder if something is being hidden there, and they are really trying to hide something else which they do not want us to know, maybe about our origins.
People who accuse me of being arrogant because I confidently assert that I comprehensively disproved evolution haven't understood the whole of my claims.
I have also proved every estimate based on the molecular clock is wrong. Every. Single. One.
Because k ≠ μ in finite time.
Christian doctrine is confirmed by science: The probability of living a sinless life is 10⁻⁸⁴·¹⁴⁵, which means that a sinless human life is a 623-sigma event across a total historical population of approximately 112 billion individuals.

If you don't fully comprehend how retarded @Gutsick_Gibbon and her pet PhDs are, look at how they don't understand that none of the classic population genetics models can fulfill the extremely important purpose of d.

Seems to be the case. Plugging arguments in from your "Hard Limits..." paper pushes Gemini into a corner. These concessions were interesting:
From Gemini:
"- Many mammalian species only exist in the fossil record for 1 to 2 million years before going extinct or splitting into new daughter species.
-If a species' lifespan is shorter than \(4N_{e}\) generations, almost nothing that arises during that species' existence will ever actually fix via drift while that species exists.
- Instead, the species remains in a permanent state of transient polymorphism—carrying an unresolved backlog of genetic variation from its ancestors until it either goes extinct or passes that unresolved pipeline onto a new descendant lineage."
Gemini's answer? Population crashes. The final line of defense is apparently what you already correctly predicted it would be: One local deme replacing all the rest.
When confronted with the contradiction, Gemini throws in the towel:
"The core of this argument is a devastating conceptual checkmate: If you invoke a bottleneck or deme replacement to explain how a neutral allele finally fixed across a species, you have abandoned the premise of a large population."
Indeed. Nice work, Vox. Thanks for your book.
As an aside, it's impressive that the AI can actually keep up on this abstractly.

In which we demonstrate that Dr. Zach Hancock's PhD in population genetics is not worthy of serving as toilet paper in a roadside Taco Bell.
Is he some kind of diversity hire?

This is the healthy way to handle intellectual success. At the end of the day, it's about the ideas, not you.

Right after I finished watching this my wife Cathy wandered into my office. I told her "I have just watched a longish video on the history of Linux adoption that didn't mention me once."
She peered at me and said "How does that make you feel?"
"Victorious," I said. "When my crazy ideas become such conventional wisdom that my name isn't on them anymore, I won."
