Indiana Jones probably votes Republican for a few years in the 70-80s, but education polarization definitely brings him back to the democrats in the 2010s. He’s a “wokeness on campus is out of control” guy but it doesn’t consume him. Likes Matt Yglesias.

"Journalism...is built on the economics of attention" Facts are boring. Conspiracy theories are exhilarating. Besides, fact checks are happening in spaces where the lie consumers aren't. No Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, NY Post, WSJ oped consumer is reading Politifact or Kessler. JFK is alive, after all.

This is also part of why the PhD is being devalued as a degree. More women than men get PhDs now.

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people. It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/

i hate to be a monocausal guy but i really think this discussion of masculinity, trade school, the gendering of education etc is beating around the bush. male democrats have seen no sizable drop in their desire to attend college. female republicans have. it’s about politics.

For all the hand-wringing about how 3's are damaging the NBA and creating a homogenous product, it's pretty interesting that the league's three leading scorers (Giannis, SGA, Jokic) all have such low 3-point rates!

what sucks most about this "democrats who wanna be open to vaccine skeptics" thing is it's such transparent "we need more votes. what if we open up the tent to these morons who don't know their right hand from their left." bitch those people will still not vote for you. write them off

When we think of ghosts, we typically imagine women in luxurious Victorian dresses or old sea captains. We don't consider the spirits that are dudes walking around in Hawaiian t-shirts with vape pens. The world isn't ready to admit most ghosts are probably just some guy named Keith.

This is why I think the meso-level of democracy is so important, you really do need intermediary groups that transform something like fiscal policy into something legible to them. I think a lot of the problems with The Groups (derogatory) stem from them not really being member based anymore.

What's interesting about this new poll is it captures a nuance that's been absent from the discussion: most people do not support the murder but they also consider the healthcare system culpable

no surprise seeing NRO take a stand against property rights because they have no real ideology other than reflexive opposition to anything coded as liberal. the image says everything. if libs want to make it easier to build homes then obviously it must be opposed. a child’s worldviews.

While I understand that it's fun to follow the internecine feuding between the big stupid supporters of the current US oligarchy, getting a constant flow of online updates about who's miffed with who just emphasises my feeling that social media has made politics into entertainment, to our detriment.

With increasing interest in H5N1 in wild animals, I wanted to share two data dashboards. Globally, the World Organization for Animal Health operates a data dashboard (WOAH-WAHIS). It’s not just limited to H5N1 or wild animals; you can filter. They depend on reporting from individual countries.
