Item 2 from the Key Findings of Catalist's analysis of the election: partisan shift. "Many voters changed their partisan preferences. Harris lost vote share among younger voters, men, voters of color, and infrequent voters. Trump did particularly well among these groups of voters." 1/2

The physics of materials defines their resistance and behavior. Density affects buoyancy, elasticity allows deformation, and thermal conductivity determines heat transfer. Each material has unique properties that govern its use.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

If there's one thing we can thank the Trump administration for, it's for showing to everyone how the government is actually helpful, useful and mostly making things better, by gutting one crucial government agency after another.

Item 1 from the Key Findings section of Catalist's analysis of the 2024 election, "What Happened": turnout. "Even though turnout was high overall, [...] [t]urnout in Republican areas dropped less than in Democratic areas [...], and turnout remained higher for white voters than voters of color." 1/2

Summer 1974 and the ferry from Burtonport Co. Donegal to Bran Island has made room for a “precariously perched car”. According to photographer Frank Bodson, the whole caboodle “excited no interest” among those on-board. (Observer magazine, 1/9/74.)

Tech optimists once believed the internet would unite and inform us. But human nature got in the way. See confirmation bias, people prefer ideas that confirm their beliefs. We seek validation over truth. It’s easier to join echo chambers than face perspectives that challenge our beliefs or flaws

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

I've been going through "What Happened 2024," a heavily data-driven postmortem of the last U.S. election. catalist.us/whathappened... I think something went terribly wrong in the last elections, and I think this report might help explain it. I wonder if other people find this interesting too.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

Straight-up misogyny is the explanation for 2024 that accords best with the actual vote shifts. But for some reason if you mention it a ton of people rush out of the woodwork to go “no no no! it’s inflation and Harris’s policy choices! Which for some reason only men cared about!”
