You probably can't even blame this on Republicans threatening to cut public radio funding over Thoughtcrime accusations or whatever.

remembering the smarmy yale law prof insisting to me that trump must be allowed on the ballot because of the risk of escalating violence that would be spurred by removing him

Trump has not only pardoned insurrectionists who tried to violently overturn an election result but is now “settling” lawsuits by those insurrectionists, giving them multimillion dollar rewards for their political violence. There’s a straight line to the Minnesota assassin trying to seize…

Germfree Adolescents 100% holds up.

If we’re keeping count that’s - - one governors mansion set on fire - one successful political assassination - one attempted political assassination -four elected officials arrested/charged/roughed up by the cops -one threat to arrest a sitting governor/liberate his state w/boots on the ground

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

"Both Hoffman and Hortman are Democrats."

Very interesting. I'd add that even if "a particular feature of the existing peer-review process—anonymization—is vital for protecting against reviewer bias", not all peer review processes are anonymous anyway. Some journals are already single-blind; I think some eventually name reviewers, too?

"If this is democracy"?

ABL: Always Be Linking

people who just share screenshots from news stories with no links back to source and no bylines or dates in the screenshot are just engagement farming you

My single least favorite type of post. Where did it come from?! How can I learn more?! What context are you omitting!?

You have to add up all the red bars and stack them on top of each other to pay for the green bar.

Did you know that your siblings can influence whether you vote? Well, because of our new working paper you do! @mike-bloem.bsky.social, @jonisaacsmith.bsky.social, sam imlay

Arguably more important things happening, but I learned today that when Cindy Wilson briefly left the B-52s to raise her kids, the band replaced her with David Lynch's collaborator Julee Cruise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMK6...

100 students in a school meant for 1,000: Inside Chicago’s refusal to deal with its nearly empty schools www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2025... I'm not sure about this framing; the district changed its funding formula for schools specifically to "deal with" the fact that many are very small.

"government efficiency"

Maybe I'd still read regularly if I still had Book It access.

Could be a ticket imo.

Being ignorant about these things I'd assume something closer to the opposite?

FWIW, I had an email exchange with the lead author of this article. I am reproducing it here. She didn't respond to my second message.

"government efficiency"

You do hear this though weirdly not in the same conversations where we're talking about how hard it is for school districts to deal with widespread declining enrollment.

On the Robustness and Provenance of the Gambler’s Fallacy journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... "This suggests that the gambler’s fallacy originates at the decision stage rather than in probabilistic reasoning, as posited by several leading theories."

The Trump regime is purporting to occupy a major American city with military troops while secret agents kidnap people off the street. A US senator was just arrested and the President has entertained questions about arresting the governor. Authoritarianism is on the march; an extremely dangerous time

I don't know how other people manage but every morning I have to set an alarm on my phone for each of my meetings or other obligations during the day and I've come to terms with that.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

"These results demonstrate that permissive firearm laws contributed to thousands of excess firearm deaths among children living in states with permissive policies; future work should focus on determining which types of laws conferred the most harm and which offered the most protection."

Update: Not sure I can fix the lag issue (no better with the Shield or Sunshine) so I've caved and ordered a long enough HDMI cable to go from my PC to the TV (just on the other side of the wall; I could *imagine* eventually going *through* the wall...). Using a laptop/HDMI solution in the meantime.
