I did not share the original story because my gut was that the sourcing was dubious. Someone who knows more about the sole source confirms that skepticism. Don't fall for clickbait, read the piece linked below. (If the story is confirmed by other outlets, that's another thing. But ... it's not)

"The research suggests that generalizations about human behavior are often flawed because they rely on samples composed largely of White individuals."

He can't be a Nazi because he says he's not a Nazi, and they're like cops - if you ask, they gotta tell you

Its just incredible that 'had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years' is not acceptable as the reason I think he might have Nazi views

Today's neurotic bullshit: Staring at 2 small jars of new marmalade (sib's birthday jar + overflow jar!) because I felt rushed by the cat & the thunder & now I'm worried they're not going to properly set but also that they're overcooked because, frankly, that pan is only good for cocoa.

very entertained by the apparent assertion that a logo on a t-shirt worn during a podcast interview is clear and conclusive evidence of someone’s political beliefs but a symbol that he decided to get permanently inked into his flesh is not a relevant concern.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

With all that growling, I guess we're doing 'in like a lion'

Politely fried tf outta my man

"Stepford has really done things to you." #BrittanyAronson et al imaginatively use THE STEPFORD WIVES to convey the "terror of the docility, passivity, and subjectification" of the "good" teacher. #OpenAccess from Critical Studies in Education. #GanivaReyes #RachealBanda doi.org/10.1080/1750...

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

"resistance is futile" is what the bad guys say, but also the whole point of that storyline was that resistance *wasn't* futile

Why you should buy my book even though the world is on fire: a thread (1/12)

Just caught up with this: France is dumping Zoom and Teams. So are soldiers in Austria. And bureaucrats in Germany. They are seeking digital sovereignty, autonomy from the American tech oligarchs. apnews.com/article/euro...

Alt text is important for accessibility but what we don’t talk about as much is that it’s also a great opportunity for joke density

can we bring #WizardWednesday here I miss it

okay, Ill bite. What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

Content Culture just the flipside of Consumer Culture, tbh

This is a tremendous piece and should serve as the final, triumphant word on Dorothy Vallens.

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.

...Huh. So... TIL this could happen. youtube.com/shorts/sQSQA...

As seen in the Nelson airport, a contest to make the best tiny chair out of a beercan. My cold hard heart softens

When there are only like 5 companies, and 3 of them all use the same 2 huge plants, a single food safety issue can end up basically *everywhere*. A single farm can basically end up contaminating like, the tomato supply in every state with salmonella. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Un...

today on IHTOV: eric gaines ( @rustedgearrecs.bsky.social ) takes us on a fascinating trip. he recently traveled from oslo to budapest and this is the music that accompanied him on his travels ihavethatonvinyl.com/essays/music...

the two phases of writing: (1) writing and (2) wandering aimlessly like an unmoored ghost and complaining about not writing

I made this short video about echolalia for a research study a decade ago. It came up today and I thought it might be a conversation starter

Out: Vote Blue No Matter Who In: PRIMARY THAT FUCKER OR YOU'RE A SUCKER

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

The Kattan name drop is how you *know* Peele is a real one. youtu.be/2L5_Qcrzd1Q?...

This is every single trans person's experience to the point where these stories about transing the gay away are farcical and we cannot take them seriously even though there are clearly idiots who believe this myth.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Is there some sort of race to see which company can ruin their entire business model and decimate their user base the fastest for the AI grift, or something...?

We're finally making our way through For All Mankind before the new season premieres, and boy oh boy, am I glad someone made the "isn't Season 5 just a prequel to The Expanse actually" joke so I didn't have to

Gaming ads telling people to forget the casino and nobody's gotten whacked yet or written an article about the poor industry being menaced by millennials

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

Kid came home with a 3D printed ICE whistle one of her classmates gave out to everyone and knew exactly what to do and what it is used for. I'm happy she has one, but I'm sad she needs to. My 9 year old does active shooter drills and knows the government is kidnapping her friends and their parents

I paid $18,000 for a new high-efficiency heating system last year. I had one at my old house and expected to see a similar savings. My bill went UP. Why? Not because of my usage; bc of the distribution and other charges tacked on by my utility company in PA. I’m subsidizing AI data centers. 😡

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

By 35 you should have at least one really shitty beat up pan you have an unhealthy attachment to
