women gossiping about men is their natural way of climbing their mating hierarchy. intrasexual competition and lying. very normal men gossiping about women is gay
Did you ever stop and think that most places in the world are only 2-3 travel days away? Marvellous achievement
Glad to see Yuzuru's paper forthcoming Argument: Tokugawa Japan had relatively low land inequality, which made people exceptionally poor, whereas W. Europe was much more unequal which gave it higher living standards. (This may seem paradoxical to some people but it's not really)
Ever had the police tell you they “can’t really do anything” about some crime you’ve reported to them? Well you’ll be delighted to learn that they’re hassling people for what they call “non-crime hate incidents” - that is, things they readily admit are not crimes!
This is a man facing a 'hate incident' charge because he politely asked a question about Islamic scripture. There are fears swirling around Westminster that we could soon have a de facto blasphemy law through a new Islamophobia definition. But this shows it's already here.

The Tea app has been hacked, and you can go download 59.3 gigabytes of user selfies right now. The hack is real. A picture from someone I know who signed up just to see what was on there was in it. This was an obviously vibe-coded app and was bound to be insecure.

For China's poverty reduction, income growth *within* agriculture was just as important as sectoral reallocation (moving from ag to non-ag). For Indonesia, agric income growth was far more important than sectoral reallocation, but income growth within non-ag also quite important
Nearly everyone has given up on urban K-12 reform. Politicians no longer talk about it. There's but one city, Houston, attempting wholesale reform and early results are incredibly promising. Cities from across the US are starting to pay attention. In 2023, after years of falling…
