What we need is a left-wing candidate to win a primary, and pull the party to the left the way Bush and Trump pulled their party to the alt-right

That might largely be a rephrasing of the same problem.

The main probably with scientific publishing is that our threshold for statistical significance is way too low.

If we allow the threshold to sit at a 1 percent chance that results of the study were random chance, it means that 1 percent of all publications at that level of certainly are going o mislead the public if the media reports on them. And with the volume of research published every day, that adds up to a LOT of misinformation.

It’s not even bad science, it’s bad reporting and widespread scientific illiteracy. But neither of those are going away.

Appeals courts NEVER decide fact. They are there to see if there has been an error of LAW.

Oh, it was nothing more than just showing off the technology, really. It wasn’t a committed bit.

I cloned my voice then left a voicemail that said something like: “hey buddy it’s me. My car broke down and I’m at… Actually I don’t know where I’m at. I walked to the gas station and borrowed this guy’s phone. He said he’ll give me a ride into to town if I can get him $50 bucks. Could you venmo it to him at @franks_diner? I’ll get you back as soon as I can find my phone. … By the way this is really me, definitely not a bot pretending to be me.”

In jury trials, judges don’t decide fact. It would be fine.

I love watching folks who think of themselves as good people unabashedly defend terrorism (just so long as it’s only happening to Jews).

The alt-right are a cancer on the nation.

This is nothing to get excited about. Like so many other things there will be constant innovations on both sides. It’s an arms race between the scammers and the scam detectors.

Or that we’d be happy with Liz Cheney?!

Good. Hamas is an evil organization.

The shame of it is that the international community didn’t come down harder on Hamas decades ago.

The international community should have fully cut ties and aid to Palestinians the moment they elected Hamas.

Instead it’s just, “oh sure, your leaders have the genocide of Jews in their written charter, and proudly admit to targeting children, but here you go, have a cookie.”

Going to an anti-Israel rally is being anti-Jewish in the same way that cops who do stop and frisks are being racist.

There may be no hate in your heart, but your selective targeting of one group over another is playing into a bigoted system.

Like, I’m sure the anti-Israel protesters are just as outraged about North Korea, China, all the Arab countries that are oppressing women, killing homosexuals, and are so anti-Jewish that they’ve killed off or exiled their entire Jewish population.

… But they only ever get around to protesting Israel.

Who?

I cloned my own voice to prank a friend, and… Wow, it was a gut-dropping moment when I understood just how dangerous this tool is for precisely this type of scam.

It’s one thing to hear about it, but to actual experience it… Terrifying.

Biden is definitely doing much better than I expected. No question. Nowhere near the Bernie Sanders type that we need, but a pleasant surprise.

In another time, I probably would go on a rant about Boomer politics killing us slowly. But since Republicans have literally become fascist lunatics, Democrats have to stick together no matter what.

History has shown us just how bad things can get under fascism, and these Republicans are dangerous, stupid, and cruel, and stupid. And yes, I know I put stupid twice.

This would backfire so hard on the Republicans.

Fox News would go down in flames. Every conservative news outlet would be sued out of existence. Their entire media ecosystem is based on demonstrable lies.

Meanwhile actual newspapers would be laughing their asses off as court after court found that their stories were firmly based on observable reality.

We have a lot of nightmare scenarios in the future: Trump wins, Trump loses and we get insurrection part II, Biden wins and we don’t take the house and keep the Senate, and we have at least 2 more years of gridlock while our lives continue to get shittier, etc etc.

The true tragedy is that there isn’t even a good outcome in the mix. Biden wins and Democrats take Congress. Fine, will they fix the courts? Fix student loans? Will they even try for universal healthcare? Universal Basic Income? Anything even close to meeting the moment?

So depressing.

Anyway, vote Biden so at least we don’t wind up in a fascist dictatorship.

Well, there’s a lot of red tape when you’re indicting a member of the royal family / German Shepard.

Anti-israel protests are anti-Semitic the same way that police stop-and-frisk policies are racist.

If you’re only subjecting one particular group to this special standard of scrutiny, it really doesn’t matter if you, personally, are a bigot. You’re participating in a bigoted system.
