Distinct from, but obviously correlated with, religiosity: just having a place to go to hang out with people once or twice a week is a good bulwark against loneliness!

* You know how Van Halen had a contract rider demanding bowls of M&Ms with the brown ones removed?

They later claimed that was all a test to make sure venues were reading their contracts. Clever!

BUT WAIT, that claim itself is actually false. I fact-checked it.

As we all wait for Callais to come down, our piece showing that Shelby County increased the racial turnout gap in most of the covered parts of the country has cleared the replication check and is incoming at JOP.

Gutting the VRA was bad, actually.

Quite a tell about the quality of the work often done by these consulting firms. If their work is interchangeable with LLM slop, it means their human-authored reports are also slop (at least at times). Governments and higher ed admins, take notice!
This is the 2nd time a major government report from Deloitte has been found to contain errors likely generated by AI.

First in Australia and now, as The Independent has confirmed, in a major healthcare policy paper for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador #nlpoli #AI #deloitte
A major healthcare policy paper commissioned by @govnl.bsky.social government from Deloitte at a cost of $1.6 million, cites research papers that don’t exist, making it the second major government policy paper called into question in as many months. #nlpoli #AI

On a macro level, economic dissatisfaction is probably the #1 way to get the incumbent’s base deactivated (and to lose soft supporters)

Still a year to go before 2026 but this is definitely “the thing”

Gómez is a very conservative archbishop, including politically. It's why he's never been named a Cardinal. So for even him to say this is something.

If you think about what language gets engagement on social media and what doesn’t, this is super interesting.
Congressional Republicans use the word "bombshell" way more than Democrats do in official constituent communications.

NBC's live coverage of JFK's assassination included color footage of a news anchor in Dallas reporting, which makes the tragedy more immediate and current. My understanding is NBC eventually had that station only broadcast that day in B&W bc the color made the national B&W coverage look bad.

I’m really surprised this isn’t bigger news. Just under 10 million people live in Tehran. Where can they go? Where else in Iran will have enough water? This will undoubtedly strain the country’s and the region’s politics, finances and governance capacity.
