Dear Fed Friends,

A 2013 Princeton study found starlings navigate by watching 7 nearby birds. Just 7.

Feeling lost? Take a breath and find your 7 birds. Lean on them. And remember—you’re someone’s bird too.

Together, we’ll make it through.

Biden warning us about an oligarchy right after he ends 50yrs of being able to do something about it… is peak Biden.

Little late, Joe?

From a recent academic paper... "with harassment cases projected to potentially double following the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election (based on 2016 trends)"

Disney’s Skeleton Crew starts off with a “futuristic” suburb with garages, sidewalks, grass, single-family detached homes, school busses, etc.

In an infinite fictional universe, how can they be so unimaginative?

New @nationalreview.bsky.social article is chock of fallacious arguments. See how man you can find, kids!

- Guilt by Association
- The [Chinese] Strawman
- Appeals to Nationalism
- False Cause
... and my favorite...
- False Equivalence

So sad to see a conservative institution fall so far. /s

We've agreed that this will henceforth be known in popular discourse and technical literature as the Magic Carpet fallacy. It needs a name on an emergency basis because of the growing threat this specific fallacy poses in American political discourse.
