Lambert and I, and plenty of readers, agree that Ukraine has prompted the worst informational atmosphere ever. We hope readers will collaborate in mitigating the fog of conflict — each actual fog and stage fog — in feedback. None of us want extra cheerleading and link-free repetition of memes; there are platforms for that. Low-value, link-free pom pom-wavers shall be summarily whacked.
And for many who are new right here, this isn’t a mere well mannered request. We’ve written website Insurance policies and those that remark have accepted these phrases. To forestall having to resort to the nuclear possibility of shutting feedback down completely till extra sanity prevails, as we did through the 2015 Greek bailout negotiations and shortly after the 2020 election, we’re going to be ruthless about moderating and blacklisting offenders.

P.S. Additionally, earlier than additional stressing our already careworn moderators, learn our website insurance policies:
Please don’t write us to ask why a remark has not appeared. We should not have the bandwidth to research and reply. Utilizing the feedback part to complain about moderation choices/tripwires earns that commenter troll factors. Please don’t do it. These feedback may also be eliminated if we encounter them.

Jerri-Lynn right here. Compiling immediately’s Hyperlinks jogged my memory of the warning I acquired once I first arrived at MIT in autumn 1979: maintaining with my research could be like making an attempt to take a drink from a fireplace hose. Alas, numerous worthwhile hyperlinks ended up on the reducing room ground immediately. A few of these – pertaining to Dobbs v. Women’s Health Organization – I’ll talk about in a submit to be launched later immediately.
As for all of the hyperlinks that did make immediately’s lower, take pleasure in! If readers suppose I missed something Hyperlink-worthy, please point out my oversight in immediately’s feedback. I at all times attempt to learn the Sunday feedback earlier than I submit Monday’s Hyperlinks, in order to select up on something I’ll have in any other case ignored. Thanks!
