17/ Skill atrophy is a real risk—especially for the next generation of scholars. Outsourcing source evaluation, literature reviews, and data coding can undermine deep understanding. For established researchers, the risk is low.

For students, we urgently need to figure things out.

UPDATE: Strongly worded letters just got kristy noem fired.

unlikely convert to Islam just dropped

It all comes down to the extremely nebulous "proportionality". If use of human shields meant no strikes could ever occur that would make the human shields extremely effective. Why armor tanks when that all weight could be allocated to a bigger gun and some civilians strapped on Fury Road style.

This is the most important step by far!

Chart showing in many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good.

We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.

The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...

The U.S. torpedoed a ship w/ 180 crew that was 2k miles from Iran

It had just been in a joint exercise that....the US had also been in.

The ship “thought it was safe in international waters,” said Hegseth, “instead, it was sunk by a torpedo,”

Just 32 survivors.

Back of napkin would put a '27 IONIQ 5 at 350 miles of range, 10-80% in <18 minutes, and potentially bring the base model to $30k, and ~350 mile range model below $35k.

Very keen to see production numbers for last month 🤔

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

More likely, that the dunkee blocked the the dunker (henry).

Always happy to help.

There's nothing fiscally conservative about sprawl. There's nothing "small government" about the costs of sprawl.

As long as we agree that insulin has not been unaffordable for lifetimes and that the price has in fact gone down.

What you said was clearly untrue.

Your fallback position that prices have fallen only after "lifetimes of exploitation" is also clearly contradicted by the article. There are vials of older formulation "human insulin" that never saw a price spike. Newer delivery methods and newer formulations did.

As long as we both agree the thing that "will never happen" has already happened.

The most important of resisting facism is constantly doing rhetorical analysis of your allies to rank how mad they are.

"The concept of the slippery slope is a fiction invented by my Enemies to keep me in line" is a sadly prevalent line of thinking across the political spectrum.

Welp, Ryan blocked me, so I'll say the thing I wanted to post this morning:

"Moving forward can we let Trump's victims reach room temperature before we start debating the messaging of the out power party?"

Give it a rest man

In general I think a thing that has badly been lost is that most character tests are also judgement tests, and if you even get to the character test level, you’ve failed.

Keeping the buildings the same does not preserve a community.

When you make it illegal to build new housing at the high end of the market, rich people just buy up existing less-expensive housing and renovate it into luxury homes.

The issue is that procedure allows the majority to control things and the majority also gets to determine the procedure

Like she actually read the industry newsletters; that's the level of competency I'm up against now.

Fetterman’s poll numbers are now in Sinema territory: sunk too deep with his party to win a primary, artificially inflated by Republicans who’d never actually vote for him, trapped in a negative-partisanship era that makes an independent bid implausible. His seat is up in 2028.

This all hinges on a retweet being equivalent to "handing it to someone". If we have to reason via meme there is another meme that addresses situations like these.

First of lmao! But second If ISIS comes back and tweets "We condem Donald Trump's approach to historic preservation/ civil rights/ due process" I will make a twitter again to retweet that.

I, for one, would like to know what the tweet said. If Hanania tweeted, "Even I, a long time racist, find Donald Trump too racist", that would be worth a retweet I think.
