I didn’t get this posted over here, but yes, normal distribution assumptions are broken by contemporary sampling and weighting practices. Just because the results cluster does not automatically mean pollsters are being dishonest and you should stop saying that - esp if you know statistics.

Au moment où le Président joue l'avenir de la France à la roulette russe (mais avec un chargeur plein), il ne reste plus qu’à choisir les plus raisonnables du premier tour en espérant qu’ils s’entendront pour éviter l’arrivée au pouvoir des supplétifs de Poutine en France.

Again, editors need to accept they have a choice: Either run way more articles about the indicted rapist fraudster who opposes democracy and has a long list of extreme policy positions...or run the same number of critical stories about both candidates and leave their readers woefully uninformed.

This weekend, I offer a meditation on panic, inspired by a reader's comment. You see, when you respond to Republican antics with panic, you are following the script. You are performing your part in the play. terikanefield.com/no-time-to-p... Again mentioned @dannagal.bsky.social's fabulous book.

I’m calling BS on a narrative that’s become widespread: The idea that liberals hope the 14th amendment is the “magical cure-all” that finishes Trump once and for all. This NYT piece leads with this claim. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2023/12/21/u...

This is literally the conspiracy theory espoused by the white supremacist who massacred the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue. Musk approves.

Many gems in this @petridishes.bsky.social piece: "Potential Childbearing Vessels on Legs contumaciously insist on continuing to see themselves as fully realized people deserving of the protection of the law, and, unfortunately, they can still vote"

This almost full page op-ed in Israel Hayom, the Adelson freely distributed daily newspaper is a political bombshell. The news editor for the paper calls on Netanyahu to resign for being out of touch with headline says after winning but last line says since he won’t do it he should go asap. 1/

Anne Frank apparently wasn't diverse enough! (Or didn't have the correct diversity.) "A daycare center in Saxony-Anhalt wants to erase the Jewish girl from its name. The mayor sees the name change as a step towards more openness and diversity. " #AnneFrank #Diversity

"The official said that Hamas had repeatedly provided to Israel, the United States and Egypt lists of Palestinians who were wounded and should be allowed to depart with the Americans and others. But vetting showed that many of them, the official said, were Hamas fighters."

Les bombardements russes sur l’est de l’Ukraine n’ont jamais connu une telle intensité depuis le début de la guerre. La Russie de poutine profite de la crise israélo-palestinienne. Lâche et criminel ! #Ukraina #IsraelGazaConflict

One of the things I don’t see discussed enough is what, specifically, the actual Israeli plan is for after the airstrikes/ground assault ends. Okay, to disrupt and destroy Hamas, but then what? I wish more of the coverage would press this point, because it’s crucially important.

The video of the baying mob hunting Jews in the airport in Dagestan is beyond harrowing—an utterly disgusting reminder that anti-Semitism isn’t what you read about in history books, but an ongoing, widespread blight on our collective humanity.
