The Nonresponse To Donald Trump How an obscure quirk of statistics and human nature explains the liberal crisis of confidence—and why it may finally be lifting.

Trump has lost the culture. But what if the universal conventional wisdom—that he won the culture in the first place—was never true? What if our warped media environment, then Trump's victory, created an illusion of MAGA cultural dominance that is now slipping. This is a long one, so strap in.

‘The time of monsters’: everyone is quoting Gramsci – but what did he actually say? Line handily sums up people’s bewilderment at state of world, but it isn’t quite what the Marxist thinker wrote

The Countries of the UCI World Tour, Ranked by the Threat their Charismatic Megafauna Pose to… When you write about a niche sport — and I think it’s fair to call road cycling a niche sport, at least in the United States — there’s…

You probably heard that the Tour Down Under was interrupted by kangaroos last week. So I ranked the countries where cycling's top races take place by how much it'd suck to encounter the national animal at full speed on a bike.

Bad Bunny wearing tinted dark red glasses with gold frames, hair gelled looking quite handsome! White shirt and tan tie.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

Who is gonna tell Trump that a rate cut too soon will actually raise borrowing costs for many Americans as long as the bond market thinks it will feed inflation?

1/ Trump’s own rhetoric and reported posture point toward a hemispheric dominance doctrine, explicitly framed in revived Monroe Doctrine terms (“Donroe Doctrine”).

In 21 studies involving more than 104 million participants in Europe, Asia and North America, vaccination against shingles was associated with a 24 percent reduction in the risk of developing dementia. Flu vaccination was linked to a 13 percent reduction. Those vaccinated for pneumococcal infection had a 36 percent reduction in Alzheimer’s risk. The Tdap vaccine against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) is recommended for adults every 10 years, with vaccination among older adults often prompted by the birth of a grandchild, who cannot be fully vaccinated for months. It was associated with a one-third decline in dementia.

Actually, it turns out that getting vaccines has some wonderful side effects.

Like lowering the risk of dementia, Alzheimer’s, heart disease and stroke
