Undergraduate student of both Quantitative Economics and Music Composition at the University of Vermont.
Interested in music, theater arts, endurance sports, linux, and anything involving snow. Graphs make me horny.
My new website:
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women.

JK Rowling’s transphobia has ruined Harry Potter. That is a shame, there was a real magic in the fantasy of it. As a kid, I always loved imagining going to private coed boarding school. Inheriting a big pile of money. Drinking non alcoholic beer. Owning a little slave guy
Am I the only person who can see this is clearly AI generated? The instagram account that posted it exclusively posts 8 second ai generated sloptoks of army people. God, some of y'all are no better than your average facebook scroller.
No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
These idiots doing purity politics with mamdani and trying to call him a zionist are why we can't have nice things. Not to be conspiratorial, but it feels incredibly astroturfed.
the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences
if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning
why is everyone always posting shitty remixes of frou frou and imogen songs to spotify. this irks me. A$AP rocky you are not included in this post your remix was good
me when I increase my credit line from $3,000 to $3,300 so that I go from 7% credit utilization to 6% utilization, marginally improving my credit score
What I can't get over is the Dems out there trying to transphobia their way out of these numbers. Just out there riding the crest of the wave, doing morally unsupportable pandering to bigotry at a time when it is also strategically foolish, just for love of the capitulation game.
I don't think Trump is going to be able to transphobia his way out of these numbers.
He's gonna try, it will be absolutely disgusting and incredibly harmful, and it will fail.
A post that’s so eye-opening because this is exactly what liberals will say is GOP distraction tactics, almost as a parody— and here it really is what Gaetz is saying unironically as his GOP message.
I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12.
Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people
ideally i would love to support minority rights but in this case the minority in question is a minority of the population, so it just isn't worth it, mathematically speaking
Discovered the hard way today that there's no FOSS alternative for PowerQuery in excel. Seems like a major oversight for how much money is dumped into libreoffice, onlyoffice, and euroffice.
Windows install didn't have enough space, so now Im trying some jank VM config I found on github.

Wish my data class would just teach us R, but apparently they felt it wasn't useful enough to most students to teach it in an intermediate class, so we're doing everything in excel.
Got my new phone (the unihertz titan 2 elite) yesterday and I am absolutely LOVING it. Having a keyboard phone is super dope, and, even better, it's incredibly compact!
Once again I must note that a major goal here is to destroy women’s sports.
By redefining any woman who defies their strict rules for femininity as a “man,” they basically deny that women’s sports are real.
Because, to them, a female athlete is not a woman.

I muted a Jeffries post yesterday because the pro-Jeffries crowd found it. Some of the kinder critiques were essentially "You don't understand how the game is played, but Jeffries does." I understand exactly how the game is played. He's working for who he considers to be his bosses, which are not us
🚨NEW: Hakeem Jeffries declared his opposition to Medicare For All 72 hours after a Yale study shows it would save 100,000 lives & $1 trillion.
Context: Jeffries raked in $391k from health PACs in 2026 & faced no primary pressure to hold the line on Dem priorities because a primary was blocked.
oh your entire industry is crumbling because of externalities outside your control? Have you thought of starting a patreon so that you have to do a bunch of extra work on top of that?
New in PN: Transgender athletes are a red herring
"None of this discourse happened bc there is a new high-profile trans athlete in the news. Instead, Republicans are starting a culture war to rile up their base, co-opt Dems into agreeing with them, & push trans people out of public life altogether"
Yet another op-ed in prestige media pretending racism, sexism and transphobia among Republicans is a response to Democratic overreach
