‘Did you know the NyTimes manufactured countless military interventions?’

Heartened by the immediate pushback to corporate media drivel like this by traditional left and alternative media.

This’ll be an important operation going forward: responding immediately to their pathetic, off key calumny.

IQ tests just measure how good the test taker is at taking an IQ test. As someone that has administered them in a previous career, people put way too much stake in them. Good as a tool for helping to determine if a child needs a more personalized education plan (in conjunction with a lot of other measures, definitely not on its own), bad for use as a dick measure like I often see them paraded around.
