A linguist explores what Kamala Harris's voice and speech reveal about her identity

Every now and then, a scholar's niche expertise lines up with a cultural or political moment and finds an audience hungry for the details. Nicole Holliday is having one of those moments.

I guess it's not surprising that Artificial "Intelligence" sold by the guy whose autopilot keeps crashing offers up far right disinformation rather than facts.

Jenna Johnson:

Top election officials are urging Elon #Musk to fix the AI chatbot on X that spread false election information, suggesting Kamala #Harris missed the ballot the deadline in nine states. (She hasn't.)

#MastodonForHarris has reached $400,000 after an initial goal of just $1,000.

As pledged, I smashed that subscribe button for Senator Tammy Baldwin, perhaps the greatest representative Wisconsin will ever have.

Next Senator gets adopted at $500,000!

Donating through this link also gently encourages the Harris campaign to have a Fediverse presence of some kind (specifically not Threads, by the way).

The "Mastodon for Harris" campaign's original target was $1000, but after just two days it's already on $144,000 😮

The campaign is run by @heidilifeldman who is a law professor and long time Fediverse user.
