Tell me about your biggest struggle and success while you worked on your research.

Imagine getting fired because math hurt a man’s feelings. We’re being governed by a walking Yelp review.

A chart comparing income inequality before and after taxes and government benefits for five countries: Japan, Canada, Germany, the US, and South Africa. Inequality is measured here with the Gini coefficient, one of the most common ways to measure inequality. It summarizes the distribution of incomes within a country into a single number ranging from 0 to 1, where higher values indicate higher inequality. The chart shows the Gini coefficients before and after taxes and benefits in five countries: Japan, Canada, Germany, the US, and South Africa, using the latest available data point for each. Income inequality is lower after taxes and benefits. But by how much varies across countries. For example, Germany and the US have the same Gini before taxes and benefits, but after that redistribution, income inequality is lower in Germany than it is in the US. The data source is the Luxembourg Income Study (2025) and the chart is Creative Commons BY license, published by Our World in Data.

When discussing data on income inequality, it's important to be clear about what’s being shown.

Two measures are often used: income *before* people have paid taxes and received benefits from the government, and income *after* government redistribution via taxes and benefits. 🧵

Another day, another reminder...

A system that allows a convicted criminal rapist tyrannical traitor to gain full totalitarian control of the U.S. govt without so much as a guardrail in place to protect us from him and his deranged destructive immoral corrupt agenda is a highly flawed and broken system.

Not only is today’s employment report uniquely bad, but revisions to the prior months show that, on average, we have seen 35k net new jobs created for the last 3 months:

JAN: +111K
FEB: +102K
MAR: +120K
APR: +158K
MAY: +19K
JUN: +14K
JUL: +73K

No way to put lipstick on this pig.

To erase history is the most heinous offense a museum can commit. No respect for the Smithsonian after this

"No work only weed" would be a great general strike + healthcare + research slogan.

Promotes compassion and value for any contribution to society, like service, arts and sciences as volunteer acts, and is a reminder that research on weed has been long stopped by federal ignorance

Motherfucking wind farms…

It's just a “swarm of fish" following a duck.

Haven't seen the movie or read the story, but the research in going to be putting out soon is going to make the world start getting bigger and brighter for everyone

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

X post by @nobushiromasaki. JP text: カムチャッカ半島付近の大地震（M8.0）による津波、日本各地にも1m程度の津波が来るという注意報が出てる。侮らないで。1mは、ふつうに自動車が流されるレベルです。画像は拾い物だけど、これが本当だから。沿岸地域の方、特に気をつけて！

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

My family lived on a shoestring budget and I didn’t attend preschool. But I was (secretly) reading well before kindergarten, and I’m pretty sure it was at least partly due to Sesame Street.

Some of the most precious books we read as children never leave us. 💙

For far too long religion has been a means for the rich to maintain a feeling of control over others. Of course one found a way to take over a mainstream media outlet under christian nationalism. Shame none of them would recognize their god if they ever met him

We would be so much farther ahead if education wasn't behind such a steep pay wall that real talent is constantly thrown into manual labor instead of research
