       @Wolven time to call out the problem at all levels, not change the message for students about doing their own work.

       @daedalus "When they show you who they are, believe them"It means you stop accumulating more probative evidence about a person and start acting on the knowledge you already have.   Modify your expectations of a person from that point forward, however disappointing or surprising.  This would serve journalists and defenders of democracy well.   They are often caught waiting for news instead of acting on yesterday's news.  So often their interviewee, even if holding office, should be regarded as an unreliable or self-serving witness, hostile to truth.

       @Jjchr @alech @skinnylatte I agree with all of this, especially keeping a journal or writing on a whim:  review your own writing every so often but don't judge yourself when you are actually writing from feeling or imaginatively.  Regular writing gets you in the groove, develops your personal style, and confidence to be yourself.Join a writing group or creative writing class.Read aloud what you have written. How does it differ from your normal voice?A writing group with respectful feedback is great for all of this and you will meet interesting people.

       @DrALJONES "These idiots, who promise to recapture lost glory and power, do not create. They only destroy. They accelerate the collapse. Limited in intellectual ability, lacking any moral compass, grossly incompetent and filled with rage at established elites who they see as having slighted and rejected them, they remake the world into a playground for grifters, con artists and megalomaniacs."Nice summary.

       @Nonilex @timo21 When they say "follow the money" to expose crime, it has never been so true as USA right now.   The money is a crime, and crime is money.

       @momo @davidrevoy It is a good play on "stochastic parrot" idea by Emily Bender.
