I don't think this has anything to do with Bayesian statistics, this is just a general philosophical comment that you should really question the fundamental assumptions you've made that have led you to this position. Much the same as an economist saying you need to "mark to market."

How much does it cost to get more information about a cop who punched someone in the face? If you guessed anything lower than $2.5 million, you’d be wrong — at least according to the city of Eugene, Oregon. buff.ly/AlxYU8S

Absolutely! This elites are untouchable thing has been going on at least since Ford pardoned Nixon. And Obama said we needed to look forward instead of backwards, and Biden appointed Garland as AG, who did nothing for two years, and SO now we have Trump.

Weekend scoop from me for @votebeat.org: Two GOP members of Georgia’s State Election Board say Executive Director James Mills sent letters to DOJ and DHS without telling the board or getting approval — and that the letters went beyond what the board voted to request. www.votebeat.org/national/202...

My neighbour told me Houthis keep blowing up his pumping stations so I asked how many pumping stations he has and he said he just goes to the store and gets a new pumping station afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding pumping stations to Houthis and then his daughter started crying.

Tremendous turnout and energy at the Democratize Yale protest on Friday! Huge high five to hundreds of students, faculty, workers, and alums who are fighting for academic freedom and freedom of speech while telling President McInnis and the trustees NOT TO CUT A DEAL WITH TRUMP!

Yale students smile and clap at a Democratize Yale demonstration - one holds a sign reading "TRUSTEES: LISTEN. RESIST. DEMOCRATIZE."

DHS agents not only tracked and intimidated people observing ICE activity in Maine, but stored information about them in a Palantir-built database, newly unsealed court filings say.

Big news in the Senate battle. After pouring $30 million in NC, John Thune's GOP SuperPAC stops spending there, effectively conceding Cooper is likely to win. And they're dumping their first 7-figures in Kansas. (Note: a Dem internal found Hamilton up today.) www.semafor.com/article/10/0...

My latest: Following Wednesday's failed bid by Senate Dems to block Trump's pocket rescission, Trump WH, once again, trampled over Congress’ power of the purse. Several experts point out their use of the “pocket rescissions” loophole is more an admission of guilt than a clever trick.

Fraternities at least should not exist. My school (Carleton College) did not and does not have either fraternities or sororities and that was a factor in my decision to attend. I will also say that in my personal experience, every frat member I've worked with (knowingly) has given off ick vibes.
