*The* seminal piece in democracy/autocracy is a guy going "I think wealth/development and democracy are related, here are about 50 different reasons for why that could be"

It hurts that this guy nails millennial satire so perfectly that he creates absolute bangers while doing so.

Maybe we should reform the system so that cops actually protect and serve their communities

Yeah, I second this. He gets attention by being the Dem that can get on Hannity while he becomes just another guy if he switched.

How do you qualify that? I come across several people in my boarder community that use it regularly as a search/fact-checker to reinforce their cultural biases.

Isn't this what Grok is doing about "woke" stuff? TBH I haven't ever used it but I'm only going off of what I saw when Musk rolled it out and then had to clearly re-code it to fit his values.

One constant thing about Trump is that he has to make it about himself -- even when doing so undermines his own broader goals.

Schmitt’s attempted maneuver this morning deserves ridicule, but there’s a more serious aspect to it. He was trying to frame Jack Smith. This was no innocent mistake, but part of a calculated effort to bear false witness against a person in order to harm the credibility of his work and character.

I'm not a lawyer, so obviously I don't understand the nuance here but it sure seems like the judge is canceling the city's ability to collect a tax because "property owners were confused" about a notice that said they may be subject to a tax.

Really odd that we accept that judges can just tell elected officials they're not allowed to levy taxes.

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.

Oh yeah, that's another one that gets me. "We're looking to hire a methodologist" *looks at job description* Oh, you just want someone that can do quantitative methods not methodology.

There is causal inference and there is descriptive inference. Methods that measure correlation falls under the first, not the second.

I really need people to stop calling the use of methods like OLS as "description"

Lindsey Graham dying and then the Dems potentially getting a 55th seat out of SC was not on my bingo card.

Kansas is very close to a toss-up and SC has been moving that direction quickly.

@mcopelov.bsky.social always tells us to zoom out, but when I do on bonds it actually makes me more nervous.

Yields on the 10yr are above the pre-GFC levels so lets have some fun.

Everything I've read on financial crises usually start with "When the bond yields began rising quickly..."
