Evolutionary biologist, computational biologist, statistician. I like to develop mathematical models of evolutionary process and see how they fit to data. I also like cities where building apartments is legal.
Yeah there's no way. I'd be shocked if it's nearly as close as the polls make it out to be.

yeah it just isn’t the case that we can provide health care to people who aren’t currently getting it without taking health care away from or reducing the quality of care for some people who have it. and you may argue that’s worth doing, but whoever does it will lose the next election

JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

This interview with Any Lucia Belloza is heartbreaking but everyone should read it. These are the lives our country is destroying.

![“I was so happy when I got there [to Babson],” Lopez Belloza said. “I was just living the college life — going to events, going everywhere ... everything there was really great. I really loved the school."
She and her father also had a special shared aspiration. With her business degree, Lopez Belloza was going to help her father open his own tailor shop, they hoped.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u6ajzyiqzkzbppp2x2y7fpfu/bafkreib33kpkgmvas4z6avgq62styxbzrzuawjufqyddtoynqgbiwnhtzy@jpeg)

Dems learned a recession is better than 3 consecutive quarters of above trend inflation. We’re never getting Big Fiscal again in our lifetimes

Again, there is no plan for running our universities without federal funding, or foreign students, at scale. But the public has no idea about this because no. one. is. telling. them. this. They expect their kids are still going to be able to do all the things at college in the next 4 years, & well:
The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:
1. Federal grants
2. Private gifts/endowments
3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students)
4. State $
For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.

It’s very, very important that your political model and epistemological framework account for the possibility that SOMETIMES MOST PEOPLE ARE WRONG, and have explanations for why that can happen. Otherwise you’re going to end up somewhere very dark eventually.
