this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

This would do the party a world of good. It allows for a big tent, but forces candidates to try and appeal to their opponents' voters. It eliminates the risk of a spoiler effect from multiple candidates of similar ideologies similar to what we saw in 2020 with Warren and Sanders.

This is also my position re: equity concerns. ‘get a good score on the test for which literally thousands of resources to prepare for exist” is far easier for low-SES applicants to navigate than the Byzantine maze of ‘holistic‘ admissions which have lots of unspoken rules, etc
going to reiterate a long time take of mine which is that grades and essays are far worse for disadvantaged groups than the SAT. A student in poorly funded school is generally going to have a worse essay and transcript than someone with a private tutor, meanwhile there are SAT guides on youtube
grades are an extremely messy signal and you do in fact need some kind of universal baseline.

This is a common misconception!
There's actually fairly substantial differences between rural white voters in the South and the non-mountain west North -- looking at an election map that starts at R+75 (purple) and ends at R+0 (yellow) you can see a fairly clear line between North/South

I guess "left vulnerable to exploitation" some kind of weird weasel-speak for "exploited," a device only trotted out for horrendous statutory rapist Republicans. You know, like "racially tinged" for "racist"
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9
