I like how this post is framed so that never having sex leads you to do things like become more educated, and make you less likely to drink alcohol. Clearly this is all very causal.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences @pnas.org · 2d

A study of over 500,000 Brits and Australians finds that people who never have sex are more educated, less likely to use alcohol and smoke, more nervous, lonelier, and unhappier. Regions with high income inequality had more sexless residents. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Phenotypic associations of sexlessness with health, psychological, and behavioral outcomes.

Months After Deep Cuts, Education Researchers See Reason for Cautious Optimism

One of the reliable indicators I've been able to use in recent years to distinguish commentators *I* should take seriously from the ones who merely take *themselves* seriously is how credulous and admiring they are of Bari Weiss.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · Nov 9

That's why they pay her the big bucks -- she'll gladly say the things no one with a functioning hippocampus has the courage to say.

AdotSad @adotsad.bsky.social · Nov 9

Watched 30 seconds of Bari Weiss discuss why her tiny brain thinks Democrats lost and I kid you not, she said its because Democrats ran on gender fluidity and defund the police

I shared a few thoughts on the concerns I see with cuts to the Department of Education's data and research capacity, although there are also a few green shoots that are worth watching.

New hiring and talk of modernization led one researcher to say, ‘I am more hopeful than I was three months ago.’
