Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different.

How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?
BREAKING: Israel Killed Al Jazeera Journalist Anas Al-Sharif
Journalists in Gaza continue to be murdered in record numbers, while Western media outlets and reporters show little or no outrage.

Former Netanyahu defence minister says Israel is engaging in “war crimes” and “ethic cleansing” in Gaza.

Thanks to everybody who chimed in!

I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.

Gaza is going silent.

The Holocaust was not a singular event, but one of the core Western values we are repeatedly told are shared by Israel.

Pearl displays what is probably the most extreme ratio of quality of scientific output to quality of "political" takes. Israel has been mass murdering and dispossessing Palestinians for almost a century and the conflict is asymmetric in favour of... the Palestinians.

Every day that I analyze data is marginaleffects (marginaleffects.com) appreciation day.

It turns out that some of the supposed "trade offs" in modeling are not trade offs at all if you don't spend your time staring at coefficients and instead query your model with marginaleffects.
