“My science is different” says the guy who doesn’t believe dyslexia is real
Goodman and Clay believed that letters were the least reliable of the three cues, and that as people became better readers, they no longer needed to pay attention to all the letters in words. "In efficient word perception the reader relies mostly on the sentence and its meaning and some selected features of the forms of words," Clay wrote. For Goodman, accurate word recognition was not necessarily the goal of reading. The goal was to comprehend text." If the sentences were making sense, the reader must be getting the words right, or right enough. Margaret Goldberg, a teacher and literacy coach in the Oakland Unified School District, remembers a moment when she realized what a problem the three-cueing approach was. She was with a first-grader named Rodney when he came to a page with a picture of a girl licking an ice cream cone and a dog licking a bone. The text said: "My little dog likes to eat with me." But Rodney said: "My dog likes to lick his bone.” Rodney breezed right through it, unaware that he hadn’t read the sentence on the page. Another reason cueing holds on is that it seems to work for some children. But researchers estimate there's a percentage of kids - perhaps about 40 percent - who will learn to read no matter how they're taught. According to Kilpatrick, children who learn to read with cueing are succeeding in spite of the instruction, not because of it. Cognitive scientists don't dispute that the purpose of reading is to make sense of the text. But the question is: How can you understand what you are reading if you can't accurately read the words? And if quick and accurate word recognition is the hallmark of being a skilled reader, how does a little kid get there? Goodman rejected the idea that you can make a distinction between skilled readers and unskilled readers; he doesn't like the value judgment that implies. He said dyslexia does not exist - despite lots of evidence that it does. And he said the three-cueing theory is based on years of observational research. In his view, three cueing is perfectly valid, drawn from a different kind of evidence than what scientists collect in their labs. "My science is different," Goodman said.

The fact that this post is still up 14 hours later when trans users were getting suspended left and right minutes after posting something that clearly does not violate TOS is precisely why I’ll be leaving for a different server
Article from New York Post saying the Charlie Kirk “assassination” was committed by trans people and advocates. No doubt it was posted with the intent to taunt everyone that they can post misinformation and not get the boot like the trans users Bluesky unfairly targeted.

How exactly is continuing to platform and lending legitimacy to prominent radical right figures going to result in killing the shooter? You’re carrying water for a power hungry sociopath, find something better to do.

www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
Abstract This research note investigates how mainstream party strategies affect the success of radical right parties (RRPs). It is a widespread view that mainstream party accommodation of radical right core issue positions would reduce the radical right's success. Empirical evidence for this claim, however, remains inconclusive. Using party level data as well as micro-level voter transitions between mainstream and RRPs, we re-evaluate the effectiveness of accommodative strategies and also test whether they work contingent on specific conditions, e.g., the newness of radical right challengers or the existence of a cordon sanitaire. We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right. Our findings have important implications for the study of multi-party competition as they challenge what has become a core assumption of this literature: that accommodative strategies reduce niche party success.
