this voldemort looking motherfucker is quite voldemorty

it is a challenge to think of an evil deed that the most moral army in the world hasn't already done

latest "test" of the "ceasefire"

The Epstein story is still absurd and bad and indicative of a lot of things wrong even if you were to remove every single accusation or evidence thereof of child abuse. The fact that he came out of nowhere and seemingly every elite on the planet was connected to him is bad.

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

How many versions of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) exist? And how much does this affect research using the IGT? More than you might think. 🧵

people tend to confide in me so i've gotten a LOT of tea over the years from fellow phd students about their bosses/advisors. all the more grateful have such reports made me for having done my phd with ruben. see also my nonnormative evaluation the last time he advertised a job.

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

The Last Displacement Maram Ali

Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place, the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity.

✅️ Vetted I feel exhausted from asking for help every day—not for myself, but for my children, whom I dream of providing a decent life for😓 Your donations help us meet our basic needs of food and drink🙏🙏 Your presence & support make us feel that we're not alone in this struggle❤️‍🩹 gofund.me/d9cbcee7

Former Netanyahu defence minister says Israel is engaging in “war crimes” and “ethic cleansing” in Gaza. So, I guess we should expect him to be blacklisted as an antisemite by Canary Mission and denied entry/detained by the US? www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Gaza is going silent. The Holocaust was not a singular event, but one of the core Western values we are repeatedly told are shared by Israel.

Updated for this year's AAPOR.

Pearl displays what is probably the most extreme ratio of quality of scientific output to quality of "political" takes. Israel has been mass murdering and dispossessing Palestinians for almost a century and the conflict is asymmetric in favour of... the Palestinians.

“Well you see it’s a centuries old religious conflict m and if they had accepted the boundaries in 1948 and if they had not done the Second Infitada and etc etc etc” CHILDREN ARE BEING FORCIBLY STARVED TO DEATH WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Every day that I analyze data is marginaleffects (marginaleffects.com) appreciation day. It turns out that some of the supposed "trade offs" in modeling are not trade offs at all if you don't spend your time staring at coefficients and instead query your model with marginaleffects.

I never really researched Nuremberg, so I was unaware until today that the famous “Nuremberg Defense” (“we were just following orders”) was not, in fact, the only defense offered by Nazi criminals at Nuremberg. (1/5)

Palestinians are not “facing” starvation. They are being starved to death by Israel. Yet our government still refuses to end all arms sales and implement sanctions, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes against humanity. End the blockade — and stop the genocide.

A picture of an unelected Palestinian religious leader (who commanded a few thousand fascists) with an elected German head of state (who commanded millions of fascists), often used to convey the rampant antisemitism of... Palestinians.

I am once again asking: if you or someone you know (i) knows the SAS programming language, (ii) has some degree of familiarity with social psychology, and (iii) wants to be paid to review a paper as part of @error.reviews, please get in touch with me!

New comment! We clarify the difference between two types of confidence intervals for individual scores: standard error of measurement intervals centered around the observed score, and standard error of estimation intervals centered around an estimated true score. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New post by me: The decline in cancer mortality is about much more than smoking. We shouldn't minimize the very real impact of many contributors — including improvements in diagnosis, medical and surgical innovation, vaccination against cancers, and more — to the reduction in cancer death rates.

the tariffs have been great for me specifically in that I get to watch every stodgy business media publication start posting like 2017 resistlibs

it is antisemitic for the Palestinian to exist
