I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle. No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Please please please ask for a hand recount. It may be the last chance to unearth the statistical anomalies before we lose for the final time ever in 2026. There is evidence of fraud. You could change out country’s future by doing the responsible thing. Please!!

Employee of Dept of Veterans Affairs for over a decade. This is very illegal. Everyone knows this. The rules apply to everyone and there is intense onboarding for every GS level that covers exactly this. You don’t do politics in federal agencies.

I worked at the department of defense. There is not one single person I ever met from generals down who’d agree that they “kill people and break things” for a living. That is not the purpose of the DoD nor is itreflective of the oath that all members take, regardless of how you rebrand it.

I remember in 2013 when we at VA took our DoD partners’ work as possible while they were furloughed (VA healthcare had a continuing resolution so we could keep working). I remember loaning money to a DoD colleague. These are people with America’s work on their desks and kids and bills.

Meh. Not really. It would be better to reserve words like “mental health crisis” for times when they are accurate. Just like in the law (and hopefully most domains), words mean things. Anyway, it’s not paranoia or delusion; just a predictable reaction to a narcissistic wound.

I wish this were true or real but unfortunately no, no matter what you call it Vitamin B9 (folate) is not going to instantly make your nonverbal kid verbal and social. At least it’s a cheap sham I guess and doesn’t require actual doctors to play along because it’s over the counter.

When they only considered high quality studies, the effect of growth mindset interventions was ~ 0. So, the effects observed in low-quality studies are more likely caused study design problems and bias than an actual effect of the intervention. bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
