Physicist observing the largest information aliasing experiment ever: Twitter. Where otherwise intelligent ppl persistently try to fit 10gal in 3gal containers.
Haven’t posted in ages, but I have to pop back onto Twitter for this—the meme is too perfect. Rep. Jamaal Bowman coming in with
big Larry Craig “I’m just kind of a wide guy” energy.
@SecretaryPete the demographics, we’d probably find overwhelming correlations to poverty & issues surrounding access to vehicles in metro areas; which have logical explanations.
As presented, the solution is shrouded, & the implications & inferences are dumb as shit. 2/
@SecretaryPete Misleading framing one step removed from the case being made in the reference. Relevant independent variables are the pedestrians’ ages & median income of the locale. So the corollary is *who* walks at X age & in Y locations
If we investigated each subset & disaggregated... 1/
@elvislevel To continue your analogy: I’m not insisting we need 2, nor that the second needs to be anything.
Only pointing out that we have an ice cream shop w/ 1.5 flavors, chocolate & chocolate w/ sprinkles, & despite customer demand, the executives shall only offer the two they like.
I’ve said it all too much: consistency & intellectual honesty.
That Trump needed to go, doesn’t imply the purportedly viable alternative is fine. To me, Biden’s nomination & outrageous media interference on the DNC’s behalf is just confirmation we don’t have a progressive party.
@elvislevel Truly, based on our history, & as recent as these last few years, it should be clear these groups represent no particular virtues at all, but ultimately carry out very similar agendas.
@elvislevel Progressivism referring broadly as an antithesis of conservatism—hardly monolithic. We are a de facto duopoly at this point, not a duopoly by true necessity. RNC & DNC as private non-profit orgs evolved thus to consolidate resources due to campaign requisites to win elections.
@ZaidJilani I could actually buy that first sentence. She is, without a doubt, a profoundly racist white person.
Where she goes off the rails is projecting her vile disposition onto everyone else because she’s also a turbo narcissist. She genuinely believes in her own exceptionalism.
“Staggering number of children under ten years old.” Some as young as 1. Sleeping on metal benches and on floors without mats. This is the Obama unaccompanied minors crisis all over again. We have no idea on left or right how to cope with this crisis. https://t.co/KkOW76yJES
It’s like the most annoying people we grew up w/ have spontaneously coalesced, almost osmotically, & have installed themselves in positions such that we can’t escape their bullshit. Like a flock of birds, they haven’t attained great influence, but you can’t escape their squawking
🚨 New word alert! 🚨
"supposably," which is an adverb meaning "as may be assumed, imagined, or supposed," is one of the 600 words we just added to https://t.co/OeJELgPEQj.

The more a person gets involved in politics in America today the less informed & more detached from reality they become, because it's never been easier to curate all the information you hear & read to only reinforce your views and prove everybody that disagrees with you is bad.
Absolutely. Funny aside, though, I bet Owen Wilson reading the mom’s dialogue in his signature “I’m capitulating in tone, but disagreeing with you verbally” character, it would be hysterical. It’s the dissonance that really does it for me.
I always tell people that we’re reliving many social elements of the 70s. You watch this SNL bit, & you go, “Yeah, sounds about right” lol
