Why do so many more people manage to get top grades in STEM A-Level subjects? Are STEM A-Levels just much easier?

A fun and surprising fact is that there is actually plenty of water for human habitation in the southwest! In fact, Phoenix peaked in water use in the 1970s even though its population has exploded, because converting farmland to housing or industrial uses SAVES tons of water bsky.app/profile/jdba...

one of my favorite Greg Girard photographs. as described by him: "Hong Kong. Towards Central, Wanchai, Causeway Bay and North Point. 1992."
Slightly elevated, distant nighttime view of densely packed skyscrapers, columns of silver and gunmetal and liquid gold, the lights  in their windows and their reflective surfaces make them appear to glitter and glow jewel-like, with colors from pale green to neon red and a little cobalt blue. The causeway is visible on the far left, and below it,  just a half circle of dark blue water where the bay appears packed with boats.

One of the advantages of speed cameras is that they provide enforcement without actually needing police to be involved. Unless by "police state" you just mean "state in which there are consequences for breaking the law".

New from me: Until recently, the gap between comfortably-off and just-getting-started could plausibly be crossed in a decade or two of hard work. Growth in asset prices means that’s no longer true: even a lifetime of striving doesn’t offer a realistic prospect of feeling you’ve “made it”.

You receive an inheritance of $1 million from a grandparent. A stranger claims to be a long-lost relative and contests the will, but offers to settle for $950k. Your lawyer tells you their claim is weak and you have a 50% chance of winning in court. Do you take the settlement or defend yourself?

This is, as @boodleoops.bsky.social said, bullshit; but I've always been fascinated by the massive lacuna in people's understanding of *why* it's bullshit. The feminist analysis isn't "men are better at elite sports than women." It's "elite sports are things that men are better at than women."
