Carceral Urbanist. We mostly believe the things we do for reasons unrelated to our internal reasoning. Yes- I know that's one of our goats and not a llama.

Academia cannot be saved. The moderates who want reform don't understand their colleagues or their administration. Universities are staffed with ideologues not scientists. The authors of this paper had no interest in truth- as evidenced by their own comments. But worse than that-
This is absolutely batshit insane. Everybody already knows the 2020 paper accusing White doctors of spontaneous bias with a so-called 58% drop in mortality gap for black newborns under black physicians was bullshit — results zeroed out when controlling for very low birth

I do a lot of channel checks and I’ve talked to numerous people who’ve worked with Anduril. They describe the experience like it’s existential bc they’re used to doing business with the legacy defense primes. Anduril is running circles around them. I haven’t seen such a
In @nytopinion A classified government report showcases shocking U.S. military weaknesses. It's time for America to “create a relevant and effective force that can deter wars whenever possible and win them wherever necessary,” the editorial board writes.

A serious problem in the developing world is that the moment anyone makes anything, their family and relations show up demanding a claim. The "social tax" is so large that 60% of workers take a bank account they can't use for months, just to keep others from knowing! 1/

@MorlockP Almost unlimited appetite for anything wearing a science skinsuit which seeks to debunk HBD/IQ/Heredity. This was very popular over the weekend on Substack even though it's almost entirely nonsense. https://t.co/FU34Qh32g9

I hate it when @RichardHanania is right.
Reminder that usury is a sin. We could have mortgages and car loans without compound interest and amortization. Other places do it, it's definitely possible, and as Christians we should be pushing for this change.

I thought fellatio was illegal in Qatar?
🚨Breaking: Tucker says on stage in Qatar that he's “buying a place in Doha”🚨 I just finished watching Tucker’s interview with the Prime Minister of the Islamic slave state of Qatar. My thoughts: Obviously it’s straight-up INSANE that Tucker is buying property in Qatar

The Left needs to learn- the problem with Nazi propaganda is that it was lies. Saying "Somalis are engaged in widespread fraud in Minneapolis" is true!
What the Trump administration is doing to Somalis now is exactly what the Nazis did to Jews in the 30s. And the fact that Miller and Fine are at the forefront of it is particularly sick.

The anti-immigration Right is a curious coalition of: 1) Xenophobes 2) Meticulous Statisticians We see both wanton lies about Indian Americans and obviously true statements about Somalis. The truth is of course that some immigrant groups are good and some are bad! We are
Indians Americans are genuinely some of the best immigrants we have around—highly educated, low crime rate, etc. But ethnonats want to hate more than they want the truth, so now they are openly distorting facts.

Are these "protesters" a permanent, valued member of the progressive coalition now?

The heart of our Constitutional Crisis. The Left doesn't believe in the Constitution- the actual written words and norms. The only legitimate institutions are ones which conform to Liberal policy preferences.
People need to realize the Supreme Court has spent MOST of its history being a terrible institution that just rubber-stamps horrendous corruption, malfeasance, and violations of rights, and was only kind of functional as a pro-rule of law institution from the 1950s to the 1980s.

We crashed into the rock and there were two choices. Accept HBD or blame some invisible force. The Left obviously chose the latter (Systemic Racism), the mainstream Right chose neither.

Under theorized how this was the moment when the Conservative consensus blew up. For 30 years, Conservatives have tried to ignore HBD. We know this because GWB drove this ship of policy straight into the reality of HBD.
@exmormons_speak @Quaesitor121 @eigenrobot TBF: of the issues with NCLB, phonics was not one of them. The fundamental issue was believing that every kid could reach the same level of achievement & punishing teachers for outliers. The implementation simply made ever class as as smart as it's dumbest student.
