To trained ears, meeting sounded like a 'college epidemiology class'Kristina Fiore (MedpageToday)
Exactly this. There was a recent article (in The New Yorker?*) arguing that, in distinction to the “space lasers” branch of the Right, someone like RFK does debate in something of a reasonable or even scientific style, because he does refer to studies, evaluations, and research.
But in reality it's all superficial half-truths. A prime example being pointers to the total number of self-reported adverse effects of Covid vaccines, for example, and claiming those are “the most for any drug ever”. But without understanding that the severity measure, for instance, is relative to each type of symptom, so that, for instance, you might have entries for “severe abdominal discomfort”. Obviously it is NOT in fact “scientific" in any way to juxtapose that kind of number with the risk of an equally (terminology-wise) “severe” case of the actual disease, where “severe" means you ended up in the ICU, just because both are statistics.
Point being: there is nothing scientific to merely pointing to studies and statistics without understanding what they actually mean and say.

When "both-sides" folk try to demonstrate the notion of “what may be legitimate criticism of Israel being expressed in exaggerated and therefore antisemitic terms”, they point to things like calling Israel “evil” (as opposed to "in violation of international law” etc).
But literally taking away food from starving babies ⋅is⋅ evil, in absolutely every sense of the word. It's the kind of behaviour the word evil was invented for.
Now, as an Israel-apologist you can attempt to claim the episode didn't happen, or that it was an overzealous individual, not policy (you'd fail, because it ⋅did⋅ happen and because the individual in question was merely ⋅applying⋅ official policy, which bans the bulk import of baby formula by truck, to private baggage).
But to go with “Actually, taking food from starving babies in order to make their parents helplessly watch them die is NOT ‘evil’ when Israel does it — and it's antisemitic to claim it is!”... not only are you confirming that you consider Palestinians to be subhuman, but you are dehumanising ⋅yourself⋅, and everyone watching can see that you yourself, you really are evil too.

Laura Loomer is an advisor to Trump, and she's quite clear that what's going on is not "deporting criminal aliens" but the ethnic cleansing of all 65 million Latinos in the US. In fact she's pretty clear she wants this to be the genocide of the US Latino population.

Re this from @jenniferplusplus: YES.
My first job out of college, I successfully built several high-profile executive darling software projects. I was celebrated for it (someone once use the phrase “white knight,” yikes), which was heady for a 20-something fresh out of college.

I think I did only two things that really mattered to that org in the long term:
1. Stopped them from buying a really dubious CMS / web app engine that would have cost the org (a nonprofit) millions it didn’t have to be vendor-locked into a dead-end platform that would have set their site back years.
2. Selected a new developer hire who was far more dependable and mature than I was, and became their lynchpin. She wrote tons of software that did actually matter, and stayed with them for years.
Whatever dev skills I had turned out to be good for (1) saying “stop, don’t” and (2) recognizing an excellent person in a job interview. Note that neither involved the code I wrote.
