As this thread amply demonstrates, the key to being an iconoclastic, "dangerous" thinker is to be an intellectual fraud. twitter.com/baileys/status…

Full quote: "My colleagues on the investigative team had a gripping deep-dive into Hillary’s legacy in Libya. The Times, afraid the story could affect the race, decided not to publish it until after the polls closed in South Carolina."

Now's as good a time as any to note that Stuart McCutcheon, Auckland uni vice-chancellor, has for years been either the 2nd, 3rd or 4th highest paid public servant in the country, and his salary went up $50,000 in three years. pic.twitter.com/7KCxYat1vL

This is the great thing about being able to dig through archives though, so much to stumble upon.

This is useful analysis of the latest N. Korea stoush. Especially interesting is the way MSNBC seems to be leading the charge against negotiations, while Fox heads its defense. Blind partisanship is a hell of a drug. peaceinkoreanews.timshorrock.com/2018/05/16/ano…

The point here isn't that Kremlin propaganda is good, but the absurdity of giving it the outsize importance it receives, and the absurdity of constantly hyping its ability to sow division by, erm, broadcasting liberal messages. pic.twitter.com/jRUofnX3IF

Once you spend a few hours reading through hundreds & hundreds of the Internet Research Agency's ads, you start to get a sense of how truly devious and harmful the Kremlin's propaganda was. jacobinmag.com/2018/05/russia… pic.twitter.com/3GV5g6j0eE

A tiny number of greedy and self-interested people can wreck everything.
This is why we need strong rules, and powerful monitoring and enforcement

In the heart of Tel Aviv, israelis are shutting down traffic, chanting that we don’t want another war. this is not a solution. no one is more safe because of this. end the occupation. end the siege. Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies. In solidarity with Gaza. pic.twitter.com/OXbygBFZgW
