Under SB 34, all #Ohio school districts would be forced to choose 4 of 9 approved “founding documents” to display in ALL social studies & history classrooms for ALL students starting in 4th grade

The list of “founding documents” includes the Ten Commandments....

how is this guy simultaneously completely fucking insane and a more honorable opponent than any republican in national office
I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

This book is so good. I know I know, you have a backlog. But once you start, you’ll be done before you can say “sapphic time traveling forbidden love story.” It’s that good. Seriously. It’s only like 200 pages. Just put it on an end table for the next time you have an unexpectedly free afternoon.
if you have not read this yet you need to read it now or I will throw a trout at you
UK folks, THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR is a monthly Kindle deal for November: just 99p! Often this sort of deal leads to price-matching at other online retailers, too. Happy reading!

He definitely thinks they’re white.
Trump says US troops could be on the ground in Nigeria and says, "they're killing record numbers of Christians in Nigeria, and they have other countries also. You know that. That part of the world. Very bad. They're killing the Christians and killing them in very large numbers. Not gonna allow that"

Tried to carbonate red wine in the soda stream for a cocktail. Ex had just finished painting the kitchen white. It looked like a crime scene. Got caught 3 months later when he bumped a painting on the wall askew that I didn’t think to clean behind. He guessed immediately what I had done.
What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done? I don’t mean “cheating on your partner” stupid, I mean stupid stupid. Like, once, I had this bubble bath which smelled absolutely delicious, so I took a big glug of it. That kind of stupid. (It did not taste delicious.)

Please don’t do this. It should be a crime to draw a regression line on a chart with 5 datapoints. Prison forever for interpreting the residuals.
Here's an alternative way of looking at this data - the scatter plot of "% unfavorable" on "% familiar".

i’m super sad that my extremely niche interest in sexual selection immediately ruined this joke for me, but not mad that it led me into a deep dive on the evolution of the baculum again. thankful for the posters today.

Every statistician and scientist should stop using the word “significant” immediately and forever.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Appeasing and conceding points to openly authoritarian Republicans to find the “Big Middle” legitimized fascism and is a big part of how we got here. I cannot say this enough, for the love of all that is good, someone please primary Marcy Kaptur.
Internet insults won’t reopen government. Speaker Johnson needs to do his job, call us back, and work in good faith to find the 'Big Middle.' The only way to reopen government is through bipartisan compromise—otherwise premium increases and hospital closures will put more stress on working families.

'What is your research question?

- a sardonic new drama about a group of jaded medical statisticians who each week must explain the same issues over and over again to their arrogant clinical colleagues. All while receiving minimum recognition or reward.

I'd watch that!
14 new shows a year about medical doctors. Zero shows ever about medical statisticians. WTF!?

The amount of drivers who absolutely lose their shit when asked to keep pedestrians safe is infuriating.

You're driving fucking tanks that can obliterate the human body. You should be held to far higher safety standards than currently exist, and you're still whining. Grow the fuck up.
