A lot of liberals have been grumbling about the state of their cities and saying that rising disorder is why trump won, in this blog post I examine the evidence and conclude that the support for the general disorder thesis is very weak (link in reply)
The lifecycle of online spacs: outcasts create edgy ironic criticisms of mainstream culture as consolation, then anti social people colonize and poison those spaces, the creatives flee, and then political staffers begin to imitate the sociopaths, the normies are horrified
I don't think HNJ ruined her daughter's life, but it's clear that she still doesn't grasp the secret PMC wisdom that if your kid regresses to the mean they can still reproduce their privilege by going to a state school and becoming a nurse practitioner or product manager
The actual clustering analysis done by Rosenberg et al. did vary depending on the number of clusters chosen, and while k=5 roughly tracked the OMB's classifications, K=6 did not, as the OMB added MENA as the 6th race while the sixth cluster ended up being.. the kalash people?
The cofnas affair is an example of the liberal order giving it's critics enough rope to hang themselves, he will likely be fired for being in violation of university policy, all because he got caught up in this online right wing 'you won't like what comes next liberal' hysteria
The anti woke movement has resulted in a strengthening of the educated liberal right - civics centers and classic education - while the anti liberals (bap, cofnas, moldbug, etc) are in shambles
America A is not telling America B to name their kids stuff like sailorskye what are we doing here

The moral cost was appalling but finally ending the iran sanctions, letting them build a deterrence network that stops Israel from destabilizing the middle east and normalizing relations with an energy rich country full of engineers is good and will benefit the US in the long run
This is by far the funniest part of the nyt piece, you see the safest thing you could possibly do is house Epstein with a hulking sociopath who had just killed 4 guys and disposed of their bodies over a small stakes drug deal gone wrong
I suspect platner will have slightly different crosstabs than fetterman, far from being the candidate of low status men or w/e all the clips of people defending him are angry 55+ establishment libs and indies
My take on the platner race is that it will be decided entirely on the trajectory of conditions, if things are turning around indies will quietly go with the known quantity but if voters feel hopeless platner wins in a landslide no matter the allegations
