The trend is real, but this NYT analysis at the Congressional district level has big ecological bias

Poor *areas* vote Republican, but it's often the richer *individuals* within those poorer areas that are most Republican

And many poor *individuals* rich blue urban *areas* vote Dem

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

that's ...not how I'm using it? I was talking about Bell's theorem

I would call this a skill issue, but my idea of "fun" is so warped that I don't even regret grad school, so maybe there's something to it

the problem with the Twitter/Bluesky schism is that Twitter feels increasingly immoral to use, which Bluesky provides an alternative for, but a social media site, fundamentally, has to feel fun, which is where Bluesky falls short

okay so. setting aside all the rest. this is a good example of the weird "back to the past to the future" aspect of reactionaries. they want to structure families "like we have for 99.9% of human history" but they also want the .1% of history where "billionaire military industrialist" is a thing

thanks. I think the viscosity of aquafaba is way closer to egg whites than pineapple juice is, but I'll keep that in mind

would try it myself, but the liquor store is closed and I'm not going to waste the good scotch on this

spontaneous symmetry breakdance @t8erboi.bsky.social · 1d

anyone had luck subbing aquafaba for egg whites in a whisky sour?

I would like Gamers who participate in Discourse (extremely derogatory) to tell me what they think is a reasonable price to pay, on a per-hour basis, for entertainment. No more vibes, put a number on it.

pretty rare. Yours is the first I've heard of in physics, though supposedly it's a little more common outside science

the annoying thing is, QM has much more structure and regularity, but is ontologically much weirder than you would ever think from listening to the woo/grifter types

also, everyone knew he owned a farm before this, right? that's not "working class"

spontaneous symmetry breakdance @t8erboi.bsky.social · 1d

I really don't care if Platner was "fake working class" or had rich parents or graduated from prep school. FDR went to fucking Groton.

The problem is that his history of erratic behavior suggests he won't be a reliable vote for progressive agenda items.

"introducing Ani, a new chatbot powered by Grok" i should not have to learn about this to understand current events. fuck you.

at this point, a big chunk of my politics is "I should never again be forced to care about anything that looks like anime"

it's even weirder when you condition on the other variable

A bar chart showing that 65% of Green voters, 56% of Lib Dem voters, 55% of Reform voters, 42% of Labour voters, and 31% of Conservative voters think they're going to hell.

my paternal great grandparents got off a boat in Newark and were americans from the moment they touched american soil. my only objection to that pattern is that i think we should send a plane to pick up anyone who declares themselves an american.
