Absences of three days or fewer at age 13 can affect Leaving Certificate results - ESRI The Economic and Social Research Institute found that school absenteeism can impact educational outcomes, health, wellbeing and social connectedness.

Linking absences to future failures as though it's the absences that caused the failures rather than an external factor causing both, is not a logical thing to do. This is a good example of why relying on statistics alone will never give you a full picture.

Why ‘Flooding the Zone’ Works for Trump - Dame Magazine Trump’s allies openly described a strategy to overwhelm the press with simultaneous crises. The structure of modern journalism makes it work

“The tools of American journalism… are very bad at telling you what’s happening, the longer story that each day’s news belongs to. And the gap between ‘what happened’ and ‘what’s happening’ is where this administration operates. They’ve been counting on it.” @parkermolloy.com:

Study shows how rocket launches pollute the atmosphere Is the global atmospheric commons destined to be an industrial waste dumping ground?

Another example of human activity expanding faster than our ability to understand its consequences.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Donald Trump endorses Don Huffines, who secretly bought Epstein’s Zorro ranch

A full-throated endorsement of the guy who secretly bought Epstein’s Zorro ranch and is resisting any investigation of the premises.

My undoing? You’re as full of it as Trump’s Depends. Blocked.

I don’t disagree this will be an unmitigated disaster for the U.S. but I absolutely disagree that Canada, under a Carney government, will join the U.S. in this folly. And I’ll pass on your offer of a Coke - can’t stand the stuff. In fact, I don’t drink soda writ large.

Nor do you

The U.S. military told WaPo it was 'looking into' reports of an airstrike Saturday morning that Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations said killed more than 100 children at a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran.

And what power in govt does Jamil have exactly other than none? His stunt trip to DC cost him any credibility he may have had (and I would argue that by being with JD is a handicap not an asset). & you seem to forget that the BQ would not vote to send troops. CPC and MM can they all they want. No go

First, Maple MAGA implies they ARE in Canada making “back channels into Canada” weird; and secondly, I don’t Carney would fold like a house of cards on this one.

Rachel Maddow came to work on a SATURDAY honey and she did NOT come to play. 👀 She came with the receipts, the context, and the NERVE.

Pay attention. The adults are talking. 🔥🎙️

Whoever made this, it’s BRILLIANT.

Trump’s “Board of Peace.”

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Nope. Nope. Nope. Top shelf. Highland cows. That’s the ticket!

He’s right, but what’s the chances of the WM Govt. Coming out and condemning this?

Obviously a rhetorical question.

Only if they Frankenstein him.

Congratulations Substack on your new partnership with Polymarket!

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

They want fewer undocumented people in the country so they’re forcing undocumented pregnant children in the country to… have babies. Makes total sense.
