A new WP that uses data from U.S. academic jobs shows that a person's socioeconomic background is an important determinant not just of their career starting point, but of their career progression. Read the WP on the academia class gap by @annastansbury.bsky.social & Kyra Rodriguez.

DoorDash Discourse is entirely wrong.
Since the pandemic, percent spending on groceries are up, food away from home is down, and this is especially true for young people. Trends point to food affordability being a real problem.

Stop Blaming DoorDash for the Affordability Crisis
One DoorDash Discourse to rule them all: Food away from home is down. Groceries are up. This is especially true for young people. Affordability is a real problem.

To me it is tragic that, just because of several hundred disgusting email exchanges with an international sex criminal, CBS viewers will be denied some of the most outrageously specious "wellness" advice imaginable. How are people going to find out about the chalk supplements he sells now?
(The Wrap) - CBS News is expected to cut ties with new contributor Peter Attia, a wellness expert, over his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, according to an individual with knowledge of Paramount’s thinking.

to be fair it makes perfect sense for tabibi to not want to ask too many questions about whether russian assets are involved in sex trafficking
Let's check in on the Twitter Files guy -- who insisted that the behind the scenes decision-making on content moderation was the most important issue of our time -- and see what he thinks about the publication of communications involving the most notorious sex predator of our generation.

The left is denying the BIOLOGICAL REALITY of statues being turned into ADULT HUMAN FEMALES by the intervention of a goddess who was born when a god's severed penis was launched into the ocean
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.
