very few of these derangements are harmful, many are innocent and cute, but some places for reasons unknown to science accumulate volumetrically more of these small derangements than others. i speak of course about the city of philadelphia

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.
Adopting.
Babies.
What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)?
Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

Funny to see putatively lefty groups explicitly declare clerkships an indicator of excellence when everyone knows the whole process is driven by social capital. One of the legal profession’s worst efforts at mystification. How does anyone still buy this after Crystal Clanton

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

Kirk had absolutely ZERO commitment to the political liberalism of reasoned public debate that Klein thinks he believes in. He was a primary organizer of an attempt to violently overturn an election. If you wonder why liberalism is no longer a fighting faith, look no further.

More Americans are missing work for National Guard deployments or other military or civic duties, part of the growing military presence in American cities.
Military-related work absences at a 19-year high amid deployments
The president’s use of the National Guard in U.S. cities means service members are having to step away from their full-time jobs during a vulnerable time for the labor market.

Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and highway engineers surprised by induced demand
A few days ago, Berlin opened a new stretch of urban motorway, with the stated aim to reduce congestion.
Today, the stretch was temporarily closed because of too much congestion.
