I hope the good folks in the Cabinet Office don`t actually act on any of the survey "findings." I spent about 3 semesters honing my survey methods skills — right up to the point where I learned enough not to take most surveys all that seriously. 🤪

I saw Ohtani get rocked by that three-run homer and thought--"well, he`s actually human after all, and he`ll get them next year," but now I realize the Dodgers have a whole team!

There was a time in our history when Black people had to carry freedom documents to prove their status. Today, Latinos are going through the same thing. Just wanted to put this out there for the Latinos for Trump.

Congratulations, y'all Black now.

Next time, listen to us.🔥☕️

I don`t know--something about cognitive exercises and brain development? Same rationale for making students go through long division instead of using calculators ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Is the CDP too progressive for Komeito, coupled with their probable distrust/dislike of the previous CDP-JCP cooperation in previous elections? I guess Komeito will sit on the sidelines and wait and see what emerges--they seem fairly risk averse--but J-politics is not my speciality.

What’s the probability of Komeito joining the CDPJ?

The ruling party (LDP) in Japan just voted in a far right-wing populist for the likely purpose of capturing a growing number of youth moving to Japan`s equivalent of the AfD--the Sanseito. We live in interesting times.
