Wow! Shocking! It turns out the scientifically responsible Trump Admin has problems w/"extreme event attribution" that might determine liability for disasters! Even more surprisingly! Sabine agrees! And is happy to supply a veneer of scientific sophistication! Turns out technical debate = scandal!

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. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

helenwebberley.comAre transgender sports bans really about protecting women? | Dr Helen WebberleyThe data says no. Those most hostile to women are most in favour of banning trans athletes.

I don't wanna be mean and unchanged but I kind of feel like the *one* thing you're committed to if you're writing a prequel background story for a character that was famously shitty in season 1, is that you can't really have any meaningful character growth

Annie Potts, who portrayed a younger version of Sheldon’s Meemaw on Young Sheldon, revealed how she felt about the show’s finale, disagreeing with how adult Sheldon remained "mean and unchanged" in Parsons' finale cameo. https://t.co/HLQkL0V2nR

Dutch television is truly an embarrassment, if you wanna know the truth Every single successful US or UK show gets a Dutch clone. Horrendous. And when I say clone, I do mean clone. They will steal the exact format, the set decorations, and individual joke patterns. It's really humiliating

you know the famous study that's said to show that men who perform worse tend to be more hostile against women entering the same space? Is there any research generalising this observation? E.g. do people who perform worse in gender tend to be more hostile to trans people? Does it extend to racism?

Seeing more engagement bait sharing what one might see in children's multiple choice puzzle books (e.g. "here's a labyrinth of straws, what is he drinking?" or "what does Bobby see in the mirror?" or "how many blocks are on the truck") except w/ AI slop images and there's no correct answer.

God, this is scary. They are killing science in universities and are pretty open about that. What’s unclear is whether they honestly think this is good for science, or consider it to be acceptable collateral damage of hurting universities, or don’t care as long as it funnels money to corporations.
