It really just goes to show, that for any iid random variables X_i with mean zero and variance one and not having heavy tails, as guaranteed by the presence of higher moments, 1/sqrt(n) (X_ + … + X_n) is going to look a LOT like a bell when n is large… sometimes even if they aren’t iid….
Forgive me, Jesus, because I genuinely deeply enjoy how perpetually unhappy and desolate these losers are.

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

in reactionary centrism, “everything is always backlash, never a self-generated political project. As a result, it takes a while to wake up to the reality that, for instance, Stephen Miller’s ethnic cleansing project is self-generated…”

I think there is a lot more self-hate involved in claiming him as trans at all. how does one look at one of the worst guys ever and think "he's just like me... no... like US" ?

it would be kind of cool if I had "smart glasses" leveraging this technology that made everybody look exactly the same, specifically like Kevin Kline in the eighties. I feel it might make me fairer to people, and a bit more interested in what they say.

some will say this technology is worthless or creepy, but it does at least slightly increase the chances that we get to see a benjamin button sequel or I guess prequel, if that's something that for some reason you want to see

some will say that "longevity expert" is a nonsensical category, but you've got to admit he's looking pretty good for a guy that's 120 years old. I'd like to know how he did it

Brown tendering his resignation to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace
Brown announced on 10 May 2010 that he would stand down as Labour Leader, with a view to a successor being chosen before the next Labour Party Conference in September 2010.[148] The following day, negotiations between the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats to form a coalition government failed, and a Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition agreement was reached. During the evening, Brown visited Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation as prime minister to Queen Elizabeth II and to recommend that she invite the Leader of the Opposition, David Cameron, to form a government.[149] He resigned as leader of the Labour Party with immediate effect.[149]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:flo3aqd3kv33hgqc2kiwj362/bafkreiev3tcclvv7vkitjw5g2xqy5wz665yxibtupjzw24dn2re2u24zre@jpeg)
