@kareem_carr What makes creativity almost entirely dismissible for me is that it doesn't measure social intelligence, writing ability, musical talent, or IQ. What makes writing ability almost entirely dismissible for me....
@LeeHepner In my experience, corporate spokespeople sometimes portray their pricing policies as more customer-friendly than they truly are. Personal Seat Licenses ?!
@ddayen@wideofthepost Your own chart shows that there was less home building at the peak of the 2000s boom than at the peak of the 1970s boom. This is despite the fact that the population had grown by 70%.
@fakehistoryhunt I am particularly amused by your argument that while some fools claim the 5th-14th centuries were a dark age, they forget the invention of the printing press! (in the 15th century).
@kareem_carr The use of the medical imaging term "tomography" in the context of political science statistical analysis is quite striking. I find it illuminating and kind of poetic, and it's very much the original contribution of Gary King. OTOH, King says this isn't plagiarism.
@causalinf@PeterMoskos@yomi_olympic This insistence that the only acceptable critiques are peer reviewed articles is quite a change from yesterday, when you wrote “Make a substack, then. Lay out your claim professionally, post the evidence. Let the process works.”

@florianederer Re secondary literature: it's important to be familiar with the bimetallism interpretation (Littlefield, Am. Qrt., 1964). https://t.co/trDygxasmi
@PeterMoskos Instead of jailing people without a trial, how about conducting speedy trials? As required by the 6th Amendment. The City has had four months to try him for the earlier offense.
@ESRogs@squidaltalt@mattyglesias Bobadilla was a genocidal monster who wanted to appropriate Columbus's power and property, giving him a strong incentive to lie. When Columbus eventually made his case, he was cleared.
@jbouie During his time, even Las Casas, a harsh critic of Spanish imperialism, praised Columbus, calling him "good-natured, kind, daring, courageous, and pious," and also "the discoverer and only worthy first admiral of ... the New World" [History of the Indies, Bk 1; ch 3, 76]
@DrewSav Actually, de las Casas admired and praised Columbus, describing him as "good-natured, kind, daring, courageous, and pious," and also "the discoverer and only worthy first admiral of ... the New World" [Las Casas, History of the Indies, Book 1, ch. 3, 76]
