This may surprise you, but the ones that didn’t vote but could tacitly were fine with Trump as well.

It’s a more complicated version of that feature where Gmail offers suggested responses like “let me look into that” and “thank you.”

Trump has affirmatively said he will ensure Israel is able to do whatever it wants.

As we’ve recently found out in the last few years, conservative bastions are not as solidly red as we believe. If you’re a Democrat in Idaho, fucking vote Democratic. It matters.

Whereas, and forgive me if I’m mistakenly assuming you’re advocating not voting for Harris, your worldview is just defeating. Every candidate but Harris will ensure that Palestinian suffering increases. Not voting will deny Harris a vote, therefore necessarily increase the odds of someone else winning and Palestinian suffering increasing. Palestinians are saying to vote for Harris. Votjng for a third party (all choices there, by the way, either actively endorse Trump (RFK Jr.) or are funded by Russia (Stein) so supports the genocide of Ukrainians) remove a vote for Harris and increase the odds of Palestinian suffering increasing. There is no scenario where if you’re an American citizen you can be a neutral bystander.

At this point, if you don’t vote for Harris, you’re voting for ethnic cleansing and genocide, quite possibly at home as well as abroad.

I don’t love the Times editorial/opinion boards but they’re hardly the same as WaPo and the L.A. Times. They also happen to be one of the only places to get decent coverage of global conflicts, along with Bellingcat and War Nerd. They should absolutely make significant changes in their, frankly, shit tier Gaza coverage. They’re also reporting on increasing attacks against the LGBTQ+ community in the Ivory Coast.

And secret prisons in Bangladesh, where prisoners are tortured and disappeared.

And (like everyone else) that Israel killed Lebanese journalists. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/25/world/middleeast/israel-strike-lebanon-journalists.html

They also featured firsthand accounts by doctors and a teacher of the horrors of IDF intentionally targeting children.

So yes, NYT has awful coverage of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Institutions are complicated and agenda-driven. They also have better coverage of conflicts in the rest of the world than most news outlets.

They also, unlike the Post and L.A. Times, actually picked a side, which is what’s specifically relevant to this post.

It’s a sport where you can walk, talk, and do a sport. Decent way to get very moderate exercise while also doing work. I can see why it’s popular. My guess is most presidents (except Trump) who golf do so to get outside for a bit in a secluded area while working given the job is nonstop.

Assuming we’re just talking about a kid being picky/fussy/cranky and there’s not some broader abuse or medical issue at play, then healthwise, sure. But there’s other factors at play. Kids need to eat to grow. You also want the kids to start embracing good habits and shying away from bad ones, which sometimes means doing things they don’t want to at times they don’t want to.

Kids also don’t always fully understand the signals their bodies are sending their brains and can get confused. So they actually are hungry, but their lack of energy and confusion (and just general preferences) mean saying they don’t want to eat. In a situation like that, having the kid skip a meal actually makes the problem worse. There’s other reasons too, but you get the idea.

She’s a litigator, she treated it like court. Very effective when your opposition makes insane rants.

She was a journalist who used the Panama Papers to expose high level corruption in Malta. Galizia did not break the Panama Papers story, she’s impressive enough without people making stuff up about her.

Seriously, not even taking into consideration what the children yearn for.

Not every criminal case. There’s strict liability crimes, the most well-known being statutory rape.

Not in cold blood. That refers to a degree of murder. Murder is any intentional killing of a person by another person. Homicide is any killing of a person by another regardless of intent (broader). Manslaughter is usually unintentional, but can also refer to the killing of another with a lesser intent (like the intent wasn’t to kill specifically, but cause harm or something).

Okay, but high COL blue states aren’t the only ones out there. If it costs twice as much to live in Tennessee as it does in Idaho, the Tennessee legislature (being largely Republican) will probably do fuck all about increasing the minimum wage. In fact they haven’t.

The problem with having a universal minimum wage is the minimum is usually pegged to the state with the lowest COI, and there are usually assholes in government in higher COI states who will not require their state to set the minimum any higher. So you end up with people still struggling to survive because the minimum wage is too low and their state doesn’t have any delta. Pegging the minimum wage to regional COI makes way more sense given the vast differences in COI between urban and rural parts of states.

He never said he wasn’t going to. A media outlet reported on rumors he’d only committed to one term and everyone took that as gospel. Turns out he sort of maybe signaled it one interview with Slate as a maybe, he never said he’d only do one term.

I’m not sure that’s correct. 538 was always a polling aggregator, but people treated it like 60% chance means “for sure.” I think what we’re now seeing is we don’t actually have much good polling data due to extremism, and therefore sites like 538 aren’t as valuable.

I distinctly remember Silver refused to make a prediction on who would win in 2016 because he insisted that Trump’s 33% odds according to 538 meant there was a very real chance of a Trump victory. But everyone came out an blamed Silver for calling it wrong.

I don’t actually like the guy, I think his analysis and political savvy is pretty weak and he comes off as incredibly arrogant. But he literally just runs a weighted data aggregator. So if the data is bad, his results will be bad too.

Was 538 wrong or do people just not understand statistics?

Looks like the article was taken down and The Hill is the only source for this news I can find with a very quick search. Maybe it was a mistake?

It’s not. Law enforcement can get a warrant on 23 & Me. Everyone turning over the DNA to random companies not required to comply with HIPAA is a terrible idea.
