Rhetorical Analysis of an Open Letter
I want to talk first about the effects of genre on rhetorical analysis. Let’s start with two main categories. Primary sources: These are texts from a writer or an organization to a specific audience or audiences with a persuasive purpose. Such texts include op-eds, letters, press releases, blog posts, tweets, and emails. These texts provide an opportunity for a straightforward rhetorical analysis because the rhetorical situation is…

I’m mostly out of the loop on IAAP stuffs (since overlays are members and fuck that), but Rian seems to have a valid concern here for ongoing credits:

TYNUS: [Entering with food packages] I've got one for each of you. Hydrolyzed protein.
VILA: Thanks.
TYNUS: I've got to put it in the oven first.
AVON: Don't bother.
VILA: Lost our appetites suddenly.

Gosh, I hate to undercut in any way all those press reports about how the Trump cyber EO demolishes the cyber initiatives of Biden and Obama, but with a couple of exceptions it doesn't.
“I’m pleased to see that there’s a lot of consistency between what was in the last administration’s order and what they’re going forward with,” Caitlin Clarke, a former senior cyber leader on the National Security Council and now a senior director for cybersecurity services at Venable LLP, told CSO.…

Trump takes aim at Biden’s cyber executive order but leaves it largely untouched
A new Trump executive order revises Biden’s last cyber EO to eliminate significant sections on digital IDs and secure software attestations, among other changes, but keeps much of Biden’s cyber protections in place.

I love it when the world catches up with me XD (OK, in this case it's the UK rather than the world.)
Surely the way to stop kids looking at things that aren't appropriate for children on the internet isn't to take those things off the internet - pretty much a decade-long gov policy under both parties, though the new laws only just came into effect. It's to stop kids having unsupervised access to the open internet. Surely the only sane solution is clear... prosecute pa…

A former leader of the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights during the Obama and Biden administrations
called the Trump administration’s targeting of undefined diversity, equity and inclusion legally spurious
and urged colleges and universities to stand up for their values.
At a panel last week at the annual Education Writers Association conference here,
Catherine Lhamon said it’s “enormously frustrating to me to see the federal government use its voice to sa…

Biden Civil Rights Chief: Trump Anti-DEI Orders Aren’t Law
Catherine Lhamon joined the American Council on Education’s president and a student in criticizing the current federal administration’s targeting of universities over diversity, equity and inclusion.

In the spring and summer of 2008, when Donald Trump was still a registered Democrat,
an anonymous blogger known as Mencius Moldbug posted a serial manifesto under the heading
“An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives.”
Written with the sneering disaffection of an ex-believer,
the hundred-and-twenty-thousand-word letter argued that egalitarianism,
far from improving the world,
was actually responsible for most of its ills.
That his bien-pensant re…
