Indiana Jones probably votes Republican for a few years in the 70-80s, but education polarization definitely brings him back to the democrats in the 2010s. He’s a “wokeness on campus is out of control” guy but it doesn’t consume him. Likes Matt Yglesias.

"Journalism...is built on the economics of attention"
Facts are boring. Conspiracy theories are exhilarating. Besides, fact checks are happening in spaces where the lie consumers aren't. No Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, NY Post, WSJ oped consumer is reading Politifact or Kessler. JFK is alive, after all.

inside the piss bush, i saw half a dozen men pissing. one of them, with his dick in his hand, shouted, "i'm watering the tree of liberty!" and the other piss men cheered. in his excitement, he got piss on his shoes.

The first several speakers at this morning's comprehensive plan meeting have been longtime homeowners in Seattle's wealthy Madrona neighborhood, arguing that a two-block "neighborhood center" where some apartments will be allowed, saying it will destroy their neighborhood.

This is also part of why the PhD is being devalued as a degree. More women than men get PhDs now.
great article about the devaluation of absolutely anything where women achieve 50%. which is a thing.

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people.
It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/

i hate to be a monocausal guy but i really think this discussion of masculinity, trade school, the gendering of education etc is beating around the bush. male democrats have seen no sizable drop in their desire to attend college. female republicans have. it’s about politics.

For all the hand-wringing about how 3's are damaging the NBA and creating a homogenous product, it's pretty interesting that the league's three leading scorers (Giannis, SGA, Jokic) all have such low 3-point rates!
