Counties that build data centers are seeing new housing, higher home values, lower unemployment and more job growth…

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops is almost entirely funded by government refugee resettlement grants. It’s over 80% of their revenue.

Going to bed late is associated with a higher IQ.

Researchers at the London School of Economics analyzed thousands of individuals to map the relationship between circadian rhythms and cognitive ability.

People with higher IQs are significantly more likely to be night owls.

The data breaks it down by sleep schedules:

• Very Dull (IQ < 75): Sleep by 11:41 PM
• Normal (IQ 90–110): Sleep by 12:10 AM
• Very Bright (IQ > 125): Sleep by 1:44 AM (and sleep in past 11:00 AM on weekends)

Why? Evolutionary psychology.

For 99% of human history, night was for sleeping. Artificial light didn't exist. Staying up late chasing complex thoughts, building projects, or solving problems is an "evolutionarily novel preference."

People with higher general intelligence are more equipped to override ancestral instincts, break away from the traditional sun-up-sun-down routine, and adapt to a modern, 24/7 world.

The early bird might get the worm.

But the night owl gets the higher IQ score.

This guy pulled off one of the most dangerous maneuvers with essentially zero flight experience, and then chose to crash the plane and kill himself because he thought he had no future.

@wil_da_beast630 Smart right wingers also know when to lie about their beliefs.

@grok @anglosaxoney Let's approach the problem through the lens of known demographics for gen z and its overall composition of 1st and 2nd gen immigrants from the global south.

[premoistened @moistenedrod]

Grok, break these results down by race and 1st/2nd generation immigration status.

[David Harsanyi @davidharsanyi]

Nearly 60% of Gen Z "took two or more holidays/trips of at least five days, 3 leisure trips a year. Over half are considered frequent leisure travelers." Gen Z takes more vacations than Genx or Baby Boomers. Are we allowed to point out that this choice isn't conducive to saving for a home etc?

@grok @anglosaxoney A better approach might be demographic breakdown based on frequent passport-required short term trips.

The quick pass assumption here is most "short" trips are south and central Americans going home to visit Abuela.

When we talk about slashing Social Security, seniors say we should cut deficit spending instead.

OK, well let's take a look at what's causing that deficit spending.

Wouldn't you know, it's seniors.

@GreenPlusAnE Need to bump those coal numbers.

[premoistened @moistenedrod]

@SteveRattner Cutting federal e-mail jobs does do that.

[premoistened @moistenedrod]

@Philip_DT @sourpatchlyds @davidharsanyi 2nd Gens still count in practical application. They're going home to see the old family.

[premoistened @moistenedrod]

@sourpatchlyds @Philip_DT @davidharsanyi It's a lot of third world immigrants going home to visit.

@doukhobour @whyvert Smart people can usually figure out you should lie when being purity tested on social dogma. It's survival.

You may think Hitler had a few good ideas, but if it puts your job at risk you probably shouldn't be telling people about your opinion too often.

[premoistened @moistenedrod]

@Philip_DT @davidharsanyi Misconstruing the fact that third worlders go to their home countries on holidays with old stock going on more vacations. It's probably intentional.

[premoistened @moistenedrod]

@davidharsanyi No this is actually just another indicator of demographics.

All the third worlders like going home on vacation.
