He's so much of what I wish I was able to be.

Now where did I put my surprised face? Well, DUH. Yeah. Obviously. Humans suck at being unbiased. Our brains are designed to be biased.

“…when speed cameras are doing the ticketing, the proportion of tickets issued to Black and white drivers aligns closely with their respective share of roadway users. With human enforcement, in contrast, police officers stop Black drivers at a rate that far outstrips their presence on the road.”

Ironically that was essentially my first thought... Hey @kenwhite.bsky.social - please schedule your next podcast on... err, well..., err, after..., err, I mean... daily until the election?

Facebook, Twitter, any of that shit...

The next cover of The New Yorker, in which the magazine endorses Vice President Harris. — And I just overheard someone say “I’m not voting for Kamala because she’s a woman, I’m voting for Kamala because she wants me to have as many rights as a man”. This needs to be said more.

When all of your enemies are terrorists and all of your strikes are surgical, when all of your aggressions are self-defense and all of your countless atrocities are unintentional—you are simply full of shit and everyone, supporters and detractors alike, knows it.

Math is fun. Way too hard for pundits to grasp, though. It's much more fun to just make shit up 😁 Thanks for the important reminders.
