Whether Jane Austen’s books and characters imply criticism of slavery has long been a subject of disagreement among her readers, but new research shows that at least 3 of her 6 brothers were publicly involved in the abolitionist movement.

What Dr. Francis Collins is describing in this excerpt from his new book isn’t just a problem in public health. Institutions don’t understand how influencers, algorithms, and crowds now shape public opinion, and they don’t understand the incentives that power factionalism. Institutions have dropped the ball — *and* they are also under attack.

JD Vance: if I don't think Americans are racist enough, I'll make up lies!

J.D. #Vance said he felt the need “to create stories so that the … media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people”.
‘Create’ in the lying, not artistic sense.
Vance’s lies have created a racist witch hunt against a hardworking Haitian immigrant population legally in the US.
Vance’s lies have led to bomb threats closing down hospitals.
Vance’s lies increase the suffering of everyone.
So Vance admitting he's lying about the migrant stories means the media can finally just call him and Trump liars, right? Finally print what we already know, without bullshit word salad?
