Hive mind: my mother left unfinished needlepoint canvases when she died. I’ve heard there are people who complete such canvases on a volunteer or professional basis. Anyone know a good person for this?
Every European country has various laws on the books that are just like “productivity is illegal now” and then people wonder why they are poor.
Think this should cause you to question the poll, not the result.
The biggest way that “misinformation” boosts Trump is that progressive donors have paid advocacy groups to mislead Democratic Party politicians and operatives about basic facts about the electorate.
More broadly the optics of masked protest are probably net bad, even if the urge behind it is understandable. Changing US foreign policy on Israel/Palestine requires convincing a lot of people who find outdoor masking somewhere between neurotic and sinister.

Further nuance: identifiable protest or letter signage earned the protesters moral credibility for taking personal risks to support a cause. Folks will discount the seriousness of masked protesters, and basically ignore anonymous letter signers who won’t risk conventional success

“Self reported satisfaction rates aren’t sufficient to establish a medical treatment works” is one of the principles undergirdig all modern medical advances; it is the reason we use placebos to test drugs rather than just giving people pills and asking them if they feel better.

One sign that you're caught in an Oedipus Trap: instead of defending your beliefs or actions, you lash out at anyone who asks even the gentlest questions. Because answering means addressing the possibility you're wrong, which is psychologically unbearable even to contemplate.
Unless we want a lot more road-closing protests, we need to crack down on the protesters. My modest proposal: if you deliberately block a road, we calculate how many man-hours were wasted by those stuck in traffic. That's how many hours you spend in jail. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Translated: people should go to grad school because we require feudal labor for tenured faculty. We can’t downsize PhD programs—even though there are no professor jobs—because we maintain class privileges for “real” profs by offloading teaching duties onto exploited PhD students.

(Even if this event had been held *in a classroom at Berkeley's law school*, that still wouldn't give anyone the right to bring in their own mic and deliver an unrelated political speech. Does the NLG think campus Republicans can just take a PA system into any critical theory…
@asymmetricinfo nails to solution to road closing protests: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/… Actually arresting protestors who block roads in a timely fashion and imposing real consequences would end this anti-social practice.

As far I can see the forms of Christianity that Catholicism struggles to compete with, in the US and the Global South, are not at all traditionalist -- but they are even less like post-Vatican II progressive Catholicism, and the opposite of a proof of concept for its vision.

Europeans aren't poor. They are illiquid. Much of Europe's wealth is stored in safe streets, nice parks, public transit, "free" healthcare, etc. which, it turns out, are too socially expensive for Americans to maintain. Americans take the money instead. The rest is only natural.
