Something that just occurred to me is for all Hegseth's machismo prostrating it's like a classically cowardly thing to kill defenseless men in war. Like by millennia-old standards of honor.

I root for two college football teams and they’re both taking upset Ls in conference championship games at the same time. This is why we love sports isn’t it folks.

Vandy is LinkedIn posting reports from Economists on why they deserve to be in the Playoff.

gotta wonder how accelerationist you could get here. get some state to draw a new map every odd-numbered year, getting more aggressive in cycles that look favorable for the governing party and more defensive in cycles that look bad for them.

I know it's not the main thing here but one of the things that really bugs me about this is that up until the moment they had power the people involved here would get VERY UPSET if you described them as "anti-vaccine"

Breaking: After contentious debates and three failed attempts at a vote, a federal vaccine committee decided on Friday to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B.

@Acyn Hannity: You put a post on X after this happened and said there's a massive cover-up… they don't want you to know who it is because it's either a connected anti-Trump insider or an inside job. Bongino: I was paid in the past for my opinions. One day I will be back in that space but that's not what I'm paid for now. I’m paid to be your deputy director and we base investigations on facts.

Texas clearly did a racial gerrymander, which is illegal.

A district court found that Texas did a racial gerrymander, rejecting the new map because it is illegal.

But the Supreme Court reversed it.

Because? Must assume the gerrymanderers were acting in good faith (despite the evidence otherwise).
Based on our preliminary evaluation of this case, Texas satisfies the traditional criteria for interim relief. See Indi- ana State Police Pension Trust v. Chrysler LLC, 556 U. S. 960 (2009) (per curiam). Texas is likely to succeed on the merits of its claim that the District Court committed at least two serious errors. First, the District Court failed to honor the presumption of legislative good faith by constru- ing ambiguous direct and circumstantial evidence against the legislature. Contra, Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, 602 U. S. 1, 10 (2024). Second, the District Court failed to draw a dispositive or near- dispositive adverse inference against respondents even...

I try to highlight the distinction between "reviewing" the literature (to prove to the reader that you've read) and "using" the literature (to teach the reader something). Each paragraph should make a point, those points should themselves fit together, etc. But it's hard to get out in front of!

so you don't want to maximally stretch all of your voters across as many R+5ish districts as you can (which Indiana just proposed), because in a D+7 year you lose all of them at once.

jongreen.bsky.social
Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 3d
that's why you keep it R+10 or more, why maps like Indiana's newly proposed one (or the one that didn't make it through in Utah) are super risky, and another reason why mid-decade redistricting is bad form. the "game" is to try and maximize seats over a ten-year period w/ varying national moods

jongreen.bsky.social
Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 3d
Like, re: OP's complaint here, you could draw maps to maximize the competitiveness at the seat level...but then really small fluctuations in the national mood will generate huge volatility in the chamber. That also seems bad!

I'm sure someone has written an impossibility theorem for single-member plurality district maps. They are simply bad ways to select legislatures, given all of the different things we want individual representatives and whole chambers to do.

before setting your avi to Dr. Strangelove, you should probably check to make sure that your posts haven't taken a turn such that simply juxtaposing them with that same picture wouldn't be a solid dunk

Read the latest #APSR article, Curation Bubbles, exploring how information on social media is characterized by networked curation processes in which users select other users from whom to receive information.

maybe the successful policy intervention is requiring more students to repeat third grade reading! but that would mean being more specific about what the goals are and what success looks like than looking at aggregate fourth grade reading scores.
