peanut butter is gross and children no longer believe their parents' lies about it.
at the end of the day, it isn't irrational to look at the mountain of public examples of how trump behaves with and regards women and girls to come to the conclusion that that he may have abused underage girls.

you don't need FRE-compliant evidence to acknowledge that it is a *possibility*.
or even that government investigations aren't free from bias. for example, the juridical presumption of the government acting in good faith is itself a bias.

the bias-free fiction of judicial system is intrinsic to its design, but let's not pretend that biases aren't baked in.
and beyond that, having evidence that meets standards of court admissibility (which aren't even the same from country to country) doesn't mean that that evidence can't feed into cognitive bias as well!
the rules of evidence are reasonable for judicial processes, due to the power differentials in the system and the nature of the stakes.

they're an unnecessary standard for people to form reasonable opinions outside judicial processes.
oof. meeting judicial standards of evidence is not required for people to form reasonable, rational opinions.
you're accusing people of cognitive bias because there isn't evidence *that would be admissible in court*, but that's not the bar for a person's reasonable belief.
most definitely. but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and there's plenty of reason to believe that the epstein files contain information that would tip the scales one way or the other.

Emily (Emily Writes) and I drafted a letter to Andrew Little about his decision to appoint Ray Chung as chair of the CCO Review & Appointments subcommittee. We think this is unacceptable given his past behaviour. Here's a template for a letter if you agree:

Really, Andrew Little?
Andrew Little has appointed Ray Chung to head an important Wellington City Council committee. We don't think he should be doing that. If you agree, please tell him so. Here's how.

you know, i don't think i had any idea what rufus wainwright looked like until i saw his name trending on bsky.

The central lie — the key dishonesty — of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.
"i'm not doing nothing. i'm sending my best agents... and you."

prince of darkness is IMO the most unsettling carpenter movie. it's such a slow, creepy build.
i've only quickly doomscrolled today, but is someone out there seriously trying to score political points on the fact that mamdani calls a close family friend of an older generation "aunt"?
the closer they get to death, the more they DGAF.

BIG NEWS. The NZ Green Party have signed our open letter calling on bipartisan effort to regulate AI. Looking at you now @chrishipkins.bsky.social Luxon 👀 #nzpol

the corollary to that is that people's lives have not worsened meaningfully under trump - which is demonstrably false.

she may be a reversion to the status quo ante, but she would not be a continuation of the current shit.
