Engaging in mild amounts of tomfoolery
Saying the quiet part out loud.
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY): "I need more migrants in my district, for redistricting purposes" This is how you hijack democracy
While there's some truth to this, consider the richest marriages. Among men in the Forbes 400, the initial age gap is around 7 years, which is about 70% larger than the gap in the general population. But when they remarry, the gap averages 22.32 years— >500% of the typical gap!
The richer a man is, the less likely he is to marry a significantly younger woman. Important to share, as this fact cuts against a lot of the inventive narratives about the mating market you will read on here.
Sanseito has vowed to slash the number of foreign nationals in Japan and cap foreign residents at 5% of Japanese citizens in each municipality. In Tokyo where the foreigner population is significantly higher than 5% it would mean foreigners would be expelled. Sakoku 2.0?
Is there a name for a fallacy where I post a really good paper critiquing a common methodological flaw in a field of study and showing how the results are different than what lots of papers on this topic produce, and some rando who thinks he or she is brilliant goes “well here…
With the H-1B lottery set to be replaced by something non-random, firms acting as middlemen and flooding the system with lottery entries are going to lose their niche and disappear. Good!
Congratulations to Sanseitō and all Japanese people who voted to preserve their heritage! It is your right to pursue a path of independent development for your people!
The “Japanese First” Sanseito party has surged to become the third-most popular choice among voters ahead of Sunday’s Upper House election, according to a July Jiji Press poll released Thursday. Support for Sanseito in the proportional representation bloc is at 6.9%, having…

Christopher Columbus really need to apologize to the Native Americans for calling them Indians. Imagine being mistakenly labeled Indians.
Having minorities read about societal racism causes them to report more past experiences as discrimination, even though those experiences occurred before the study began. Nothing about their past changed; how they saw the past changed. Reality didn't change; perceptions did.
Salazar is a Republican. This is a good example of how partisanship =/= politics, and the 2024 Republican shift of US LatinX does not mean the political shift they're causing is actually no big deal. A victorious Republican Party pushing redistribution and amnesty is not a win.
I was just on NBC’s Meet the Press to talk about the landmark immigration bill I introduced today, the DIGNITY ACT! It was great discussing how we can keep the border secure, restore order, AND give dignity to those who deserve it. Tune in!
My compromise proposal for French people: you can admit any refugees you want if they live in your house, and you will be liable for any problems they make.
French court rules that all 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are eligible for asylum in France. France is fucked. There’s a reason not a single Arab country wants to accept Palestinian refugees. Palestinians STARTED both the Lebanese and Jordanian civil wars. During the Gulf War…
Harvard economist Eugen Dimant: “Immigration from corruption-ridden origin countries boosts corruption in the destination country.”
Alright so I’m thinking we keep Elon alive for now and ship him to China where he can work on making robotic waifus real but can’t do any retarded shilling for Indians or else the CPC will just pull a Jack Ma on him. There’s potential here.
I had to allow some sketchy covariances to make the model fit more or less acceptable so perhaps the moral foundations just isn't a very good construct (or maybe I'm just bad at this). I achieved scalar invariance and though some trends are nonlinear they seem real:
Does it test for measurement invariance between IQ groups? @cerflerg
Am I the only one thinking that he secretly enjoys this?
Apparently there are still just zero safeguards on the prompt version of Grok, too. It's spitting out the foulest stuff imaginable without blinking. SHUT IT DOWN.
Holy shit he actually returned from his walk.
I’m not happy to be back
And all it took was getting his wallet stolen!
LEE KUAN YEW! SINGAPORE STYLE JUSTICE! DEPORT COMMUNISTS AND ISLAMISTS! SENSIBLE PRAGMATIC CENTRISM NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW

The ratio of education between females and males predicts fertility, controlling for NIQ and total education.
It's so weird that the graph for fertility v. female education and the graph for fertility v. male education look basically the same but you have probably only seen one on here.
