This is antisemitism. This isn’t leftism. This isn’t anti-Zionism. This isn’t progressive activism. This is just blatant antisemitism.

Norway has solution to this actually, stay at home parents can get their share of the public daycare subsidy as cash, that way parents are not pushed one way or the other. the problem of course is virtually no one on the center or right actually gives a shit about parents

This is a meaningful signal from one set of competing elites in the Democratic coalition. That said, I think it’s less a matter of the ‘dynamic changing’ and more a matter that there was always far less electoral advantage to be gained from airlocking trans ppl than elites have come to believe.

Do we seriously have to do Maoist newspeak every single time an 80 year old posts his idiotic ideas on the internet. It has been AI since before I was even born. Can literally anyone have a shred of dignity.

happy 40th birthday as well to The Fall's 'Bend Sinister,' named by the gruppe after a really great Nabokov novel that's better than the one everyone thinks of first

this might be the best possible outcome. at least I would much rather see CBP money frittered away on vanity ad campaigns rather than spent on torturing more immigrants

you see this cohort divide playing itself out quite noticeably in academia (e.g., older administrators vs younger students / younger faculty / younger staff; to 'boomers' here I would in fact add many older members of my own generation (X)

There is this annoying thing when stats people in different disciplines (in this case education and economics) don't talk to each other. Sometimes it means they don't know about a model. Sometimes it means they all use separate terms for the same thing. Sometimes using the same words differently.

swearing aside, the strategy of just making the right stand by the things they say to each other seems pretty good. that was the secret sauce behind the "weird" messaging way back when (that they abandoned for whatever reason)

this is a result that pops in any number of places in the literature on fertility, but receives little attention due to popular symbolic narratives about “why people are not having babies”

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

One note about this, because I was curious: remarkably, the state-level explanatory power of Google searches for testosterone and Trump vote survives controls for education, income, and rurality.

i am making this recommendation because generally this genre of critique tends to over-index on 1) grand sweeping but unworkable ideas 2) "we must change society" 3) vague gestures at a solution in theory-speak 4) arcane technical fixes etc

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."
