There’s a lot of great reasons to use Bayesian methods (especially in industry) but none of them are the ones data influencers claim on LinkedIn 💀

I will never forget saying that Rittenhouse’s valorization was a sign that white men had been deputized in precisely this way. I believe it got me almost banned on Twitter. Anyway. Some of the reason I just cannot these days is I feel like I already did.

Indeed it will continue to escalate. We must continue to stand firm. We can and shall overcome this.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I'm telling you that we are starting to win. I think most people on here saw that the DoE is not contesting the ruling against them, and so we've now won back the right to DEI on our campuses. What they are doing was never designed to stick, only designed to disrupt. Keep pushing!!!

So I have a Ring doorbell but I don’t subscribe [mainly because I don’t want to know what mysterious thing on the street set it off at 3am]. So I get live video if I want and alerts. Was always curious if they still secretly record. Anyone know? The official statement from Ring is “no”

To recap: the two major parties refuse to rein in the reign of a demented sociopathic king who daily is marching us into both World War III and the next Civil War simultaneously because a Black president once made fun of him and also the Special Boy wasn't given the Shiny Golden Medal he covets

I landed on Reagan’s Wikipedia page last night (crossword puzzle answer), and realized that efforts to undo the Civil Rights Act never stopped. As a white dude, my privilege blinded me to what POC had been covertly enduring through the Clinton, W, and Obama years. I hope this is the year we wise up!

If you don’t follow instructions at an entry level job, you’ll get a negative review and eventually fired. College is supposed to prepare you for that. This is how I would help myself out around this time of year when grading undergrad assignments

This administration specializes in fearmongering, not facts. The facts: 86% of trans youth report s*cidal ideation and 56% have attempted to end their lives. Anti trans laws increase attempts by ~72%. <1% report regretting GAC. If they are trying to protect children, science says they are wrong.

Surely the people who file hundreds of demands that libraries they've never been to remove books that they've never read — surely those people wouldn't abuse an open syllabus law to harass professors teaching topics they don't like the sound of. Important reporting from @stephaniemlee.bsky.social

When Everyone Can See Your Syllabus

More states are requiring public colleges to make class syllabi available to the masses. Proponents say these measures boost higher ed’s credibility, while faculty fear being targeted.
