Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says “It hurts when I do this.” Doctor says “Treatment is simple. Don’t do this.” Man bursts into tears.
“But Doctor, I *am* do this.”
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

this is funny for the reasons the author notes, but i would add one reason not noted: do you think, occassionally, people have bad experiences connecting at american airports? if so, sorta undermines the Cultural Explanation noah proffers
Noah Smith is paid in the high six-figures to write a blog read by Americans who believe themselves to be intelligent. Yet, he is both unable to read a sign and also for some reason chose to have a 90 minute layover for a flight that takes 90 minutes.

Remember when the Democratic Party party turned on David Hogg for suggesting we should primary the types of senators who would do shit like fold in half at the worst possible time, resulting in millions of Americans getting fucked over a barrel?

“EVER SINCE AT LEAST 1985” is a great concept for me, a person born in the early 80s, but probably not one that is objectively super meaningful?
I guess you can quantify the massive disconnect between party leaders and the party base they loathe

Probably my most unpopular academic opinion is that you're not in a position to make the case against plagiarism to your students (or anyone else) if you don't even bother to check the license on the images you put in your slide decks, let alone credit them correctly.

New issue of Journal of Caliper Ideas is out! Does it have a bunch of race IQ nonsense and trans panic stuff? Yes it does! But also: cannibalism

I just started watching Columbo from the beginning and draw the following inferences from these plots. 1. rich people do crimes. 2. it was a lot easier to get on airplanes in the 70s

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

"They should aim their anger at the people i just suggested we should cooperate with"
Shaheen: "All those people who oppose this agreement -- staying in a shutdown mode was not getting us anywhere. They need to train their fire on the people who are responsible. That's Trump, Johnson, & the Republicans who have blocked every attempt to get healthcare. We need to be working together."

Maybe try a different way to fight, since your current approach is fundamentally fucked
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting
