I think there have basically been two catastrophic outcomes in my life. Covid and the GFC. That’s a lot, but there’s also lots of other really bad stuff that didn’t get nearly that far.

Most bad things in the world do not become catastrophic, they’re just kinda bad, or even quite bad and they stay persistently kinda bad or quite bad.

This site looks at all of those things and assumes they must be preludes to catastrophe.

Of course occasionally that is what happens. Just mostly no

It’s probably not great that the nine-year-old accomplishes something and then demands I β€œpost it to my internet friends” but I oblige nonetheless.

It’s a very specific gripe. But whoever made the decision that we should change the clocks on different dates in America and Europe deserves to be stabbed with 17 cocktail forks, exactly one hour before he was prepared for it to happen.

I am thoroughly enjoying my early runs of Slay the Spire 2. I could not tell you a single concrete thing about it that is an improvement on the original, but I just find the vibe somewhat more pleasant and engaging for some ineffable reason than the already high bar it starts from.

The should be numbers when referring to the position but you should stick with the common rule when referring to things. β€œThe 10 seems to have been phased out of the modern game” and β€œEngland’s top ten attacking midfielders” are both correct.

This is far more threatening to American Jews than anyone's policy views toward Israel

Our market has two rib guys and we are ride or die for Niko and his family. These things are very important.

We love our waffle lady so much! I honestly think our friends at the market, her and my rib guy are gonna be the people here we miss most.

(Unfortunately for her she was in the penalty box as her glasses remain missing for the second straight day. So, you know, peaks and valleys).

Six-year-old was angling to get bestowed the honor of hopping out of the car to pick up our morning waffles from the waffle stand on her own.

β€œDaddy I CAN do it. I’m INDEPENDENT!!”

Real unironic they grow up so fast hours around here this morning.

Yeah once you remember everybody blaming Silver for saying it was too close and then immediately turning on a dime and blaming him for saying Hillary would win, some of his obnoxious habits get a little clearer.

Nate Silver Is Unskewing Polls -- All Of Them. Here's How. The vaunted 538 election forecaster is putting his thumb on the scales.

One thing he is is extremely stupid.

I bring this up even few months but in the lead up to 2016 he accused Nate Silver of unskewing the polls to give Trump more of a chance and get attention for himself.

He did this because he didn’t understand what a weighted average or a regression was.

Oh yeah that’s absolutely true. There’s a reason antisemitism is the β€œsocialism of fools.”

This also happens to just be entirely untrue, his wife isn’t Jewish, and the idea she is originates as a ridiculous bit of ham fisted sleuthing around from the founder of fucking VDARE if you want to know what waters Grim is swimming in.

It’s not unreasonable though I I think it’s a tad too laser focused on antisemitism as a unique thing as opposed to another form of bigotry. To me it’s absolutely true that bigotry is interpreted by many as authenticity, and some form of bigotry serves to get them to believe your populism.
