It's funny how often I run into this moderation. I can't have claude find public information on a living person (me). I mean, for example. It's really squeamish about anything sexual. and so on.

sorry you (general) hate me for using AI but this is what claude did to create the titles brett is missing.

Slot Actual list item (left-coded) Far-right topical mirror (US, today)
1 Felix — Black radical governance manifesto A manifesto arguing for explicitly Christian-nationalist governance — that U.S. law and institutions should be reordered around a specific religious identity
2 Osmundson — queer family-building memoir A memoir/polemic arguing trans and gay identity are a social contagion to be medically or legally suppressed, framed as a personal awakening away from LGBTQ community
3 Thomas — novel about anti-trans bans A novel sympathetically following armed militia/"patriot" resistance to federal authority as heroic
4 Ali — Islamophobia as structural US policy A book arguing immigration (particularly from Muslim-majority or Latin American countries) constitutes a demographic "replacement" threat to be reversed
5 Nović — disability/deaf history vs. ableism/whiteness A history rehabilitating the 2020 election-fraud narrative as suppressed truth rather than debunked conspiracy
6 Walters — critique of "neutral" whiteness A tract arguing DEI/anti-racism itself constitutes anti-white discrimination requiring legal reversal

What the fuck, @wired.com? This is not how you talk about a story regarding sexual harassment (which is the most banal way of describing what actually happens).

Post from @wired.com stating, "of course, plenty of women in WIRED's survey reported feeling satisfied with their careers, and not everyone's been, shall we say, manhandled." With "manhandled" circled in highlighter.

Not a great place to make a joke when talking about truly abhorrent conditions for women working in tech.

Gdam. And at least the social media rollout here does not make it seem like they're very serious about this story

Good step in the right direction but the best map is still the Cahill-Keyes. www.genekeyes.com/world_map_po...

really a masterclass example of "why does midfield matter" that Spain used their advantages in midfield and in the press to keep the ball but also to take away France's primary idea -- transition attacking -- and nullified the most talented attacking four in the world

I think a lot of this article is right, but the entire field of psychometrics would like a word with you @beenwrekt.bsky.social! I mean, that particular pain scale might not be the best but surely we can measure subjective experiences.

Instead, pain therapies are most commonly evaluated based on improvements on the Numeric Ranking Scale. Studies ask participants at admission how their pain is on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). They ask them again at the follow-up. Statistical protocol then dictates computing the mean of the differences in treatment and control and running a t-test. You can try to remove the heterogeneity in how people respond to these questions, but these adjustments are based on subjective clinician calls. No matter what you do, pain is hard to mathematize. Doing statistics on these “numbers” and coming away with strong conclusions is a fool’s errand.
