This is your brain on drugs?
Nobody ever says 'I want to be a junkie when I grow up'?
Hey guys! A new Mandela Effect just dropped 😆

Trump says he is going to do an advertising campaign about "how bad drugs are for you" and adds, "nobody has done this before"

So, the first president in my lifetime... No wonder our typical brand of dysfunction feels so normal!
Fun fact: Joe Biden is the first president since 1980 to avoid a government shutdown during his time in office. Take notes, Republicans, that is leadership!

This should be the Democrats' litmus test for whether you get primaried or not. There's gotta be *somebody* in South Carolina (lots actually) who isn't this cowardly.
Not sure I have enough words for how angry this makes me

Seems incredibly likely that the subjects of the study were trying to make sense of what the scholars' purpose (or angle) was (Hawthorne Effect) -- if you're given a quote about anti-racism (I'd argue that no "learning" was happening w/ a one-sentence thesis devoid of evidence) and then /1
Rather than reducing bias, anti-oppressive DEI materials with scenarios related to race, religion, and caste, may increase a hostile attribution bias, leading to heightened racial suspicion and punitive attitudes, research finds:

I imagine this has everything to do with which rights they are thinking about when asked each Q & how those particular rights make them feel. Pronouns that make little sense to many, force changes in speech, and make them feel bad? Too far. Bathroom bans w/ historical parallel? Discrimination.
So. Very. Much. This.
One concrete example: The survey data we have strongly suggests that support for anti-trans legislation is less driven by consistent and stable ideological leanings and much more a function of how the issue is framed. Here are the results of the 2023 American Values Survey:

Yes.
Is democracy really that great when half the voters are idiots?

Yes.
Longing for a time when owners of newspapers actually liked newspapers and owners of baseball teams actually liked baseball... sigh.
First, the owner of the LA Times spiked the editorial board’s endorsement of Harris.

Oh, Elon being the best at Diablo IV totally checks out. After all, Donald Trump was the best high school baseball player in the state of New York and could have gone pro if he wanted! When you're great, you're great 😆

Gen Z are 12-24 yo; this means that this sample includes those who are just starting college and those who have been out of college for a half decade. The most logical explanation, to me, is that many of the people in this sample simply lack a contextual baseline bc they aren't "working" yet /1
I haven't drilled down on the details of this survey. But even as anecdotal evidence of economic assumptions, it is clear that "relative deprivation" theory needs to be understood alongside a new "bubble" of economic expectations that will never be reached by most of us. www.cnbc.com/2024/11/22/s...
