@MsMelChen @charlesmurray His recollection of the means in 'The Bell Curve' is, I think, correct. I was referring to his mention of scoring "85 percent."

Sort of like the time he cautioned a young woman in graduate school that, if she were to have a child after 35, the child would be a "Mongol". 😬

@EsotericCD John Bernthal's acting is the bane of contemporary mainstream cinema. In every picture, he effects the persona of an early 2000s finance bro who lives in Murray Hill.

@EsotericCD His strength, in the excellent assessment of Douglas Trumbull (who worked with his fair share of all-time greats), is creating "visual interest" on the screen. He seems to have a blind spot with respect to selecting stories.

@LeeKuanYimby It would have been inappropriate and possibly illegal to take pictures inside spaces where mourning was taking place.

@AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC I'm glad the mayor is focused on the important issues.

@jarlbillclinton @ajlamesa No, it's absolutely illegal to use one in New York State. The law just is not enforced....

@marblesoftcore I prefer the Hanoi beer, whatever it's called. Drank it during my stay at the Hilton.

How can you support @nathancofnas, unjustly suspended by Ghent University?

Sign up for a paid subscription to his Substack.

And if you already have a paid subscription, as I do, give a gift.

I just gave one to an excellent @MasonEconomics colleague.

@Mileage_impo You keep posting BMWs, but the practical question is, how does one find one that lasts half a million miles instead of one of the (ubiquitous) BMWs that begins throwing dozens of codes at 40,000 miles?

@TradVat2 About as reliable as Ronnie Coleman's assertion that his bodyfat percentage was, at one time, a negative number.

@Noahpinion @Sherveen He made Stephen Glass look like an amateur.

@AsiaLens It's the Kennedy School, not real Harvard.
