I’ve taught classes with this bimodal distribution in the past. It doesn’t serve either group of students well.

It’s especially crazy that the UC system is doing this when California has a 3-tiered system of higher education.

Women's ideal male height doesn't change with how attractive they rate themselves. Their minimum does.

Median preferred height is ~6'1" across every self-rating group (n=3,780). The floor climbs instead: 5'5" → 5'6" → 5'7" → 5'8" → 5'9" from lowest to highest self-raters.

One inch per step.

When women say stuff like this, they are referring to men who outrank them so badly that a situationship is the only way the two of them even being around each other makes sense.

WNBA player DiJonai Carrington blames “white privilege” after being ejected for a hard foul on Sophie Cunningham.

Carrington was given a Flagrant 2 foul and was immediately ejected.

She then apparently rushed to the locker room so she could blame “white privilege.”

One of the problems with this claim is that virtually no Republican was making "the affordability crisis is fake" arguments during the Biden years. It's extremely transparent to everyone that the unwillingness to acknowledge these obvious economic challenges is at least partially politically motivated.

The second problem is that, no matter how thrifty your family might be, and no matter how cheap your homemade burritos, the significant rise in grocery prices over the past 6 years -- and the fact that the rise is continuing, not stopping, and certainly not reversing -- is just a mathematical reality. It can't be denied. It is a fact.

Grocery prices have gone up by 30 percent or more this decade. I'm happy for you if your family isn't significantly impacted by this problem. But it is real. And it is a problem. And conservatives better come up with an answer that isn't just "learn how to make cheap burritos" or we will get absolutely crushed. That's another reality.

An extraordinary graphic showing what will happen in Poland if fertility rates simply stay where they are. Most of the developed world is on a trajectory of population collapse similar to this.

Nothing matters more than turning around birthrate decline.

The reason men explain a lot of things to women is that in general knowledge tests men outperform women in almost every category.

The reason men know more general knowledge is they find it interesting when something is explained to them, not condescending.
