In #EPIDEMIOLOGY, we avoid the word "significant". First off, journal policy bans use or mention of significance testing, p values, etc. Further, to avoid confusion with the statistical sense, we have authors replace its qualitative use with terms such as marked, notable, important, or substantial.

Dear Mr President, I paid $26.99/lb for Peruvian coffee beans this morning and the people at the store said this high price is because of tariffs. We can get a reimbursement for the difference between the old and the new price, though, right? Right?

The vice president of the United States just said that every ICE agent is protected by absolute immunity to do anything they want, including murder. This is not empty rhetoric. This is a five alarm fire.

The subsequent barrage of propaganda and outright lies afterwards makes it even worse. This must stop.
Today ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.
Horrific.
Trump's reckless mass deportation policies are terrorizing American cities and endangering everyone -- immigrants and U.S. Citizens alike.
The chaos and terror must end.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"
