this kind of chart doubles down on the dumb in “social science” and economics. the dumb comes from lossily compressing complex phenomena into rankable scalars, then using arithmetic and ranking to launder claims into “scientific” truths. 1/

The response in Israel to Naza is beyond unhinged. Mobs have shown up at the house of co-director Rachel Szor's family. All over social media the directors are being branded traitors and "not Jews". There is a frenzy of incitement to violence against them online www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

Cambridge has been crushed by rising costs of housing ever since rent control was outlawed across Massachusetts in 1994, as Massachusetts has not built enough housing throughout our state. The state blocks cities like Cambridge from enacting local solutions to protect renters.

Ugh: A new Massachusetts poll has a 51-32 lead for a ballot initiative to adopt the top-two “primary” system. This system has been a wreck in California. The majority party frequently risks getting shut out of general elections, so party organizations often pick favorites in primaries to avoid that

All but two Mass. ballot questions likely to pass in November, poll finds
Nine statewide ballot questions will face all Massachusetts voters this November, and a new poll finds that all but two are likely to pass.

There's nothing to "join" in the Democratic Party. It's a brand with products I spend my vote on once a year at the democracy store. Most people's experience of it is an endless stream of texts that read like scams, their reward for donating or signing a petition. No wonder DSA is growing

As a modern-day left winger, I’d be on the side of the rural voters in Maine, who went 62% for Abe Lincoln in a three way race, and who who sent more than 10% of their entire population to fight in the Union army against the slave power. How about you?

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.
