Does this apply equally/similarly for specific market-sector indexes (eg EUAD as a EU Defense index), or are you mostly talking about extremely broad indexes?

If libs were engaging the behavior they're outlining in this video instead of mass political action, leftists would be chastising libs for engaging in conservative political cornerstones like communalism.

Their ideologies exiss to psychologically torment and demoralize liberals. No more, no less.

My PI got reprimanded in 2013 for going to a speaking engagement while representing himself as a Smithsonian employee during the shutdown.

Meanwhile, this guy is literally doing what he gets paid to do, and literally no one cares.

I think this is going to be one of the biggest challenges for waste reduction imaginable.

Having worked in academic and industrial biotech contexts, it absolutely is the case that plastic waste in biotech, while astounding, is not frivolous, as the aseptic value of nonresuable plastics is immense

I'm astounded that the "soy causes estrogenation, and therefore has lead to the feminization of the world" crowd and **the literal soybean farmers and food industry** have managed to remain in the same political coalition with each other for so long

All-Star Weekend should just be NBA players playing games that players in the NBA care about, that pose little-to-no risk of injury (golf, 2k, Madden, CoD, Catan), instead of the slop they try to serve us in that farce of a game

I literally thought this might have been about the treatment of Korean immigrants in the 1910s, and didn't know for sure that it was about present-day events until "2025" was mentioned explicitly.

If we just try to move on from MAGA as if it was all one long string of no-harm, no-foul, the world will never forgive us.

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Also the very healthcare laws that Vought opposes, as the Vertex nebulizer solution used for CF has a sticker price of ~$2.1 million

Given that we know what a Ballmer is, I had always wondered what a Ballmee is.

Thanks to ESPN and The Ringer, I now know

This website is satire.

At this point, it's actually good that the most obstinate and disagreeable progressives and leftists are so defiant against wanting to acknowledge Bsky's obvious issues.

By quarantining themselves here, they reduce their imprint on culture, meaning fascists can't use them as agitprop for normies.

Criticism Capture is More Dangerous Than Audience Capture Nowadays, it's the unforced errors in response to criticism that kill you

Fallen reactionary sports blogger Ethan Strauss actually wrote an article about this a couple years ago. He called this phenomenon "criticism capture", and argued that its worldview-warping effects were stronger than audience capture:

Took heartbeat interval data from a chest strap and turned it into breathing rate estimates. Used FFT + peak interpolation to pull out the respiratory signal hiding inside heart rhythms.

Eh, they didn't give a shit about the Congressional Baseball Game shooting, either. Firearms Right Maximalism is basically a core tenet of the American Rightist Cult at this point.

There's also the fact that, by doing things so on-the-nose that it looks exactly like something out of Fascist Italy or Nazi Germany, ordinary people will reject straightforward news reports as fantastical.

When you say "Many of us even think that 'correlation is not causation' is still a thing", are you referring to the development of sats/ML methods to tease out causality, or to the development of methodologies like nat experiments, IVs, DiDs, etc?

The more severe issue is that voters hate all viable implementations of policy more than they like the theoretical outcome of said policy

Ken Liu wrote all of the source material for Pantheon, tho?

Voting isn't protected under the first amendment. These aren't related.

Even if this was the case: if money is speech, why can't protestors be paid?

Aren't political TV ads a form of paid protest?

I guess we'll just have to keep using Herpes and HIV for transfection!

It is more likely that the PRC will become a healthy democracy in our lifetimes than the US

It's not the press. It's the fact that the technological media in which information is disseminated are cyberweapons designed to make the English-speaking world as stupid as possible.

Trump winning support from terminally online young men and then appointing RFK Jr. to ban Vyvanse and put autists into work camps is the right wing Stalinist version of how Democrats win elections through appealing to black people and then use that political power to ban menthol cigarettes

Some Johns Hopkins student hacked up a home intruder with a katana about 10 years ago, and Americans went, "Oh my God...nice."

In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, semaglutide (Ozempic) slowed epigenetic aging and the pace of aging across 11 organ and system clocks
