Reminder that right now Tarrio is supposed to be serving a 22 year prison sentence for his role in the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol but Trump pardoned him.

What a ridiculous chart. If AI can replace 3/4 of the education profession, that's not just a recession for white collar workers. That's just a massive hollowing out of the public good (education and schooling) that most people have the most contact with.

It is still happening. No country is stepping in. Cuba has helped so many movements and people around the world and they are being abandoned to die

Two takeaways. First, 2- to 4-year-olds can use a process called second-order correlation (SOC) learning -- e.g., A & B go together and B & C go together, then A and C go together -- in a category context to make causal inferences.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Very consistent with our work on perceptions of racial progress. People (sometimes) perceive the past as being worse than it was in the service of perceiving greater progress than has actually occurred (& the present as being more equal than it actually is). See Onyeador et al. (2020), PSPB.

We used these faces in a study of incarceration narratives and went out of our way to say that these are not the actual people who are (or not) incarcerated, but share their characteristics due to this very concern.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspendedβ€”and so were my wife's.

Broad claims about gender and behavior fall apart when studies include ethnically diverse samples Behavioral economics relies heavily on studies of Western, educated people. A recent analysis provides evidence that ignoring racial diversity within the United States has led to flawed generalization...

"The research suggests that generalizations about human behavior are often flawed because they rely on samples composed largely of White individuals."

Yet, this well-documented pattern did not appear among Black participants. The data provides evidence that Black women do not shy away from competition, nor are they any less willing to take financial risks than Black men. This suggests that the broad behavioral generalizations scientists have made about men and women for years are heavily skewed by predominantly White study samples.

STOP. LISTEN. Seriously.

Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong. Maybe this has to be dismantled from the bottom up. This rank corruption.

There needs to be a serious IMPEACH NOEM demand. These hearings have made any other choice complicity.

The Trump admin doesn’t want to sully the reputation of racist murderers.

The federal government dictating official history is a free speech issue. But I guess erasing Black history doesn’t excite pundits as much as harassing college kids who call bigoted speakers bigots.
