+@davidxu90, you said the other month you were curious about what would count as a crux for me, and I supplied one (↑). Any thoughts?
+
+(I generated the dictator analogy while consciously trying to play the double-crux game, but I confess my actual reaction is "Harmful inferences?! What the fuck is wrong with you?!" [link "Choosing to Be Biased"])

+
+the Blue Tribe/Gray Tribe color schema is really unfortunate given how enthusiastic the Blues are about Civil War analogies
+
+Funny coincidence to come across @SeriesTangled lyrics extensively referenced in a cognitive-science-of-gender blog post (looks like a really cool paper about language and color perception from [...], too)
+
+Free-speech conditions in the country as a whole have gotten worse, but conditions in my immediate social graph have gotten better, as people who previously wanted to stay on the good side of Blue Egregore hit the "I can't live like this" breaking point that I hit in October 2016
+
+Do we even know what a fair election looks like? "Trump legitimately loses but falsely alleges vote fraud tipped it to Biden" and "Trump appears to lose, alleges election fraud tipped it to Biden, and this allegation happens to be true" have very similar consequences! 1/2
+
+Like, I'm assuming on priors there are nonzero partisans on both sides willing to resort to vote fraud? The question is, how many each, how organized, with how much collusion from the top, does it affect the result, &c.? 2/2
+
+Another interesting thing about #Next is that the Right Wing Bad Guy-coded character (hacker with "white nationalist" (!) contacts in a previous life) is on our side (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NominalHero), which is not something I expect to see network television lately ... I guess it is Fox?
