Indeed, and it cites Nate Silver

Noah smith stumbling onto the point but then left punching instead is so amazingly on brand of him

Blessing in disguise: was drafting a thread taking the bait from NYT about "hard work" and billionaires (short form:Joe ricketts got equivalent of 300k start up, not having a TV or AC in 1950s was normal, didn't start Ameritrade "after graduating from college, did it in his 30s) and it got deleted.

In 2026, he really looked around and said"what if Rufo and TCW had a baby and got the worst of both" and The Atlantic is like "what a cutie!" wild

The reality here is that universities would love to hire visible and capable conservative scholars. That they have to create separate centers, and then hire people who would never make it in an open search, underlines the fact that its not anti-conservative bias, its a lack of strong candidates.

Defund the police promotes Lynch mobs is another new one for the reactionary centrist move

Man blames woman for becoming a nazi after she calls Trump people racist cartoon

The quoted study is for people with reduced heart function and type 2 diabetes, so giving them glp1 instead of peptides is...just changing a prescription to a more effective medicine and not about obesity

You do not, in fact, have to hand it to enslavers. F*ching chatty tom

Saw someone post about making a teleprompter app with Claude Code to not pay $100 for an app and...has he used search in an app store before?

Fitting a team of divers would wear a mask like that in training

So glad she found our data and did this! Looking forward to reading in depth tonight

Prison Gerrymandering Distorts Representation Counting incarcerated people at their homes rather than prisons could result in additional state house seats for some urban communities of color.

Our totally kickass RA Arlyss Herzig just published a big SOLO piece on the effects of prison gerrymandering in the US. Check it out, and share it widely!

The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation

If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"

And also, abolish ICE and dismantle the surveillance states remain my real goal. ICE violating this or Rs rejecting it can help move us there.

Bluesy responses to this is like a rorschach test of your type of left politics.

So for me: not bad given my expectations for them. Wish removing Noem and ending the surge were headlines, not last paragraph that it seems no one is noticing. Empowering states to go after ICE is smart politics.

I am all for a big tent approach to woke 2, as long as it doesnt include TCW. He can go fuck off entirely.

Data / quant note: What model or message testing predicted how public opinion would shift 32 points in one year in this Texas seat?

None. No quant data could solely determine the correct message for this, no linear model could based on ad tests or issue polls.

You do not, in fact have to hand it to the guy soliciting money and meetings with Jeffrey Epstein.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

It's not what I would have predicted, but I guess it's to the barricades with Will Stancil and Don Lemon

They dont remember obama.

I saw that quote and new Yorker and thought i had missed Ezra getting Chotiner'd and now im just dreaming of Ezra getting Chotiner'd

Any day now...

(the police are an arm of government, not of the people)

It me

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

Is this cancel culture?

It’s so weird how the left is skeptical of the “Abundance” movement.

Oh, also, one of the authors is joining Bari Weiss’s pro-Trump propaganda network.
