Here's the thing. If a bunch of rich people manage to bully the party into kicking out the *elected candidate* and replace him with literally anyone and we go into the election with a person chosen by a bunch of rich people that nobody had a chance to vote for our democracy is already dead.

In the Suttas Buddha said “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” Yeah, until you throw it in the guy’s face, and then his face gets burned. No one said revenge doesn’t require sacrifice. - Edmond Dantès

They HATE that the thing that's produced our persistently booming economy is a tight labor market. They would rather have lower growth if it meant crushing workers because what they care about isn't money (especially if someone else is getting it) but power. Trump's Project 2025 confirms that

And you just fucking know it in your bones that the booming Biden economy will never be described as such - until Donald Trump is placed at the head of it.

Seems to me that accusations of senility take the teeth out of “Genocide Joe.” You can’t really hold him responsible for enabling Israel’s atrocities if you also think he doesn’t even know what day it is. “He’s only a little senile, and only in ways unrelated to Israel” -Dr Dumbass MD

That’s right

Oregon, however, is the ultimate winner. Oswald West declared the beaches to be a public highway in 1913(!) and then the legislature, with strong backing from Tom McCall, passed the Beach Bill in 1967. www.opb.org/news/article...

How Oregonians came to own the state’s beacheswww.opb.org The state's publicly owned beaches are a point of pride for many Oregonians. And we have one person to thank for that: Gov. Tom McCall.

Erasure is the only band brave enough to address the age-old question: What if ABBA was good?

Because race is fake, anyone who says they’ve found meaningful differences between fake categories is a liar or a fraud or both. (Racism, otoh, is very real and very pernicious)

Richard Lynn’s racist national IQ data sets and papers that use them should be retracted. New piece in Stat News from @dsamorod.bsky.social, @stairwaytokevin.bsky.social, @jedidiahcarlson.com, James Lingford, @rebeccasear.bsky.social, Cathryn Townsend, and me

Journals that published Richard Lynn's racist 'research' articles should retract themwww.statnews.com Richard Lynn's work has been repeatedly condemned for using flawed methodology and deceptively collated data to support racism. It's past time to retract the studies.

pedestrians who get in the way of speeding vehicles are contributing to an aura of oppression that harms an extremely vulnerable segment of our population: people who think the law shouldn't apply to them because they want to drive really fast

This is absolutely correct. The argument against traffic cameras is literally “I should have privacy when I’m being antisocial, in my registered-with-the-government car that I need a government issued photo ID to operate.” Clown shit. Gtfoh

Last month at a Banff workshop on Models and Theory in Population Biology, I gave a short (20 minute) talk about the relationship between the amount of information that natural selection puts into the genome and the selective burden this places on a population. You can watch the talk here.

If the human brain is a computer, why do universities have separate neuroscience AND computer science departments? Very redundant imo

Driving a car is interesting in that people don’t get better at it the more they do it. Anyways, we should ban cars
