Mārama was such a tight story. And so confident in the audience! It really recaptures and iterates upon the magic of Get Out

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

A populace that supports state murder but is too cowardly to face it directly seems like one of those “how we got here” problems tbh!

there’s something about “state murder should be private and abstracted, if the public gets to see it the inflamed bloodlust will overwhelm society” like idk man it kind of seems like you’re already assuming a society that’s just totally donezo. Like what are you even trying to save at that point

Yes, some teachers are perfunctory. But clearly the author cared enough to be upset and write a poem. Why is the author not allowed to be upset?

Perhaps think of it like this: If you were to put a lot of thought into recommending a book to someone that you wanted to share with them, and they responded by (badly) pretending to read it, wouldn’t you feel bad? Perhaps even a bit hurt? Why would that be different for a teacher?

You are getting off-topic. I’m talking about school assignments, not personal media consumption or perfunctory emails. I have made no claims on those subjects and am purely talking about the original subject of school assignments

How do you know that you are making that judgment with the right criteria? Writing that one page response before each class might have felt like busywork at the time, but by taking to it in earnest, it helped me get better at internalizing and analyzing quickly and regularly

You don’t actually know whether it does until you try it yourself, though. The whole point of learning is that you don’t already know the answers, and often things that seem trivial become essential

It is funny (in the joker way, as per usual) how so many people's lives were completely shattered over copyright trolling from companies who treated downloading a song as a capital offense but the moment they could make money on it themselves it instantly stopped being relevant

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

I got completely taken out of Lair of the White Worm b/c the villain starts waxing poetic about how much she loves snakes and ladders, which is a game that has no strategy or skill and is entirely random chance, so it communicates she has no plan and is just lucky.

Economist analysis of more than 3,000 US counties finds that in reliably GOP counties, annual deaths now exceed births by 0.4 per 1k residents, while in reliably Democratic counties, births exceed deaths by 2.8 per 1k. Population growth in the GOP counties is largely driven by internal migration.

In MAGA-land people are dying faster than they are being born

Our analysis suggests Trump country is only growing because of migration

Pathfinder 1e is basically 3.75, so 4e and pathinder 2e are fundamentally similar in how they are reacting against similar predecessors. Pf2 also has much more strict, bounded math like 4e
