First of all nothing is perfect. Your belief that the machines and the poll workers who use them are is on par with those who believe in the infallibility of the pope. Right. The idea that a modern information system would yield a huge margin of error on such an easy task is dumber than saying Lasi...

Four score and seven tweets ago our President brought forth on the Internet, a conspiracy, conceived on amphetamines, and dedicated to the proposition that facts and lies are created equal. Now we are engaged in a misinformation war, testing whether Republicans, or any far right can follow on Twitte...

Look at the political leanings of who made the voting machines. Since you know that you're lying about this there is no need to say more. I look forward to the post-Trump republican platform going all-in on revolution by "lies gone viral". A powerful tool it is for swaths of uneducated rubes and a ...

Has everyone watched "The social dilemma" on Netflix? (Netflix throws its FANG brothers under the bus, with prejudice) I think they may have overreached in a few spots, but the basic ideas were sound, and good examples of why you can't count on opening up more free speech outlets as a way to solve f...

Can't he get a couple of punks from MDB to help? But again, great work showing his lo...

There is no law that states that we must tell the truth about China.

Suppose Trump continues as president. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that he's won the election as you believe he has and will continue to function as president through 2024, and then into a third term afterwards. At a certain point, whatever is going on with China, he may grow tired of it, ...

, but questioned the then-format of MI at any university What was the "format" of the MI and why did you have a problem with it? he rubbed my nose in the ground over the issue. It's not surprising he didn't want to take criticism over peer review at Interpreter. Articles are "gated", sure, but ther...

To my nonprofessional understanding, not finding something that showed persistence beyond the Early Modern English timeframe, using a British corpus, is NOT the same as there being no persistence, because colonial language development lagged behind British language, and an American corpus would lik...
