Nate Silver has to believe that Nate Silver and people like Nate Silver are geniuses who deserve everything they got because otherwise he’s just one of a couple hundred guys who did some interesting stuff with baseball statistics and then claimed he was a data genius so could cover all fields.

I truly don't want to come off as really mean, but it's so bizarre to see the glut of folks on social media with nothing to contribute and the seemingly pervasive idea that every post they see online is directed toward them personally

The one in a bad relationship here is the "Freedom Foundation," an anti-union conservative billionaire-funded "charitable organization" of Nazi sympathizers. Fuck off with the propaganda mail. 🖕 Solidarity Forever.

If the GOP wants to eliminate the Civil Rights Act of 1964, introduce a bill, put it up to a vote. Campaign on it. Say it, cowards. Stop hiding behind the illegal DOGE “DEI” chainsawing.

Yesterday it was university of Pittsburgh - today it’s Penn. I fear this will soon be a grimly long thread of more gratuitous Trump/Musk inflicted disabling of America for the long term www.thedp.com/article/2025...

Do you want some happy news? Today, my youngest turns 18. She wanted three things: 1) To join the extended family adult group chat 2) To go out for dinner with her mom & dad 3) To then go wander a bookstore with us. In the meantime she bought cupcakes for her theater crew (while they paint a set)

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Same for the phrase "pull yourself up from your bootstraps." It's satirical because it's impossible.

Just as long as you don’t want to do anything about race, gender, equity or diversity. It is heartbreaking that an actual humanities funder would precapitulate to the fascist dictatorship. What are the humanities for if not to teach us how to RESIST!?

Does your child want to go to college, want to go to med or grad school? The new cures for diseases, new technologies that we depend on come out of universities. #Trump, #Musk, #Vought are now killing higher education. If you haven't been paying attention, this would be a good time to wake up.
