In the last decade, the IDF prosecuted one (1) soldier for unlawfully killing a Palestinian in the occupied territories. Elor Azaria served 9 months in prison. Today Israel's president, Yitzhak Herzog, pardoned him and expunged his criminal record. A clear message of 100% impunity.

New paper out now 🥳 When psychologists discuss generalisability, they often refer to vague notions of representativeness. We provide an accessible intro to the total survey error framework as a tool to reason about this more rigorously. w @taymalsalti.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci >
Thinking Clearly About Sampling and Representation With the Total Survey Error Framework

Collecting a sample that represents the population of interest well constitutes a challenge across the social and behavioural sciences. Psychology in particular frequently relies on convenience samples—most notably students and, increasingly, online participants—with a tendency to either (implicitly) assume representativeness without substantive justification, or to acknowledge a lack of it only in passing. In contrast, researchers rarely engage with the actual implications for their inferences, which undermines the generalisability of psychological findings. Critically, representativeness must be defined with respect to variables relevant to the target of inference, rather than superficial demographic diversity. Here we present the Total Survey Error (TSE) framework as a methodological tool that systematically addresses the multifaceted sources of error—particularly those related to representation—that emerge throughout the research cycle. Although TSE originated in survey research, its principles are broadly applicable to any psychological study seeking inference from sample to population. We offer practical strategies for identifying, preventing, and mitigating representation errors to improve the credibility and generalisability of psychological research.

Illustration of the total survey error framework with the representation strand highlighted. It shows how coverage error, sampling error and non-response error arise during the sampling process.

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

Trump Tower Damascus? Syria seeks to charm US president for sanctions relief
A Trump Tower in Damascus, a detente with Israel and U.S. access to Syria's oil and gas are part of Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa's strategic pitch to try to get face time with U.S. President Donald Trump during his trip to the Middle East, according to several sources familiar with the push to woo Washington.

Former Netanyahu defence minister says Israel is engaging in “war crimes” and “ethic cleansing” in Gaza. So, I guess we should expect him to be blacklisted as an antisemite by Canary Mission and denied entry/detained by the US? www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...
The Israeli military’s former chief of staff has accused his successor of “sending soldiers to commit war crimes” in Gaza and torn into Israel’s government for “losing touch with Jewish morality”.

In an interview with Israeli outlet Ynet on Thursday, Moshe Yaalon, who also served as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defence minister between 2013 and 2016, said Israel had abandoned the captives held by Hamas and was carrying out a campaign of “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza. 

Yaalon attacked the current military chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, saying he was not stopping “clearly illegal orders” and was ordering “his soldiers to be war criminals”.

“Call it ethnic cleansing, call it transfer, call it deportation - it’s a war crime,” Yaalon said

Pearl displays what is probably the most extreme ratio of quality of scientific output to quality of "political" takes. Israel has been mass murdering and dispossessing Palestinians for almost a century and the conflict is asymmetric in favour of... the Palestinians.

@MaryKostakidis (from the hell site)
Jewish Australian academic Dr Gideon Polya's unpublished letters to the MSM tell a story he says the MSM has hid from the public. In this excerpt, he quotes another Jewish scholar
'Indeed Zionism is Nazism without gas chambers but with genocidal racism, world-leading high technology military, 90 nuclear weapons, mass murder of Occupied Palestinian children, mothers and women in Gaza, and wanting Arab lands from the Nile to the Euphrates but not the Indigenous Arab inhabitants.
Anti-racist Jewish American scholar
Professor Bertell Ollman (NYU) (2004):
"The Zionists are the worst anti-Semites in the world today, oppressing a Semitic people as no nation has done since the Nazis"

Every day that I analyze data is marginaleffects (marginaleffects.com) appreciation day. It turns out that some of the supposed "trade offs" in modeling are not trade offs at all if you don't spend your time staring at coefficients and instead query your model with marginaleffects.

Virgin on the left is surrounded by many lines of coefficient tables returned from a linear model.

Chad on the right is surrounded by simple code that queries the model with the help of marginaleffects.
