@NikkiMcR I’m impressed at the total absence of self-awareness one has to have to post that drivel. Pundit brain in its highest form.

please stop writing think pieces about sports you dont watch and players you dont know because you will inevitably publish something this laughably stupid.

@sam_d_1995 Urbanists cpaping their farts is a combo like peanut butter and jelly. You ding dongs can’t simply enjoy something. You have to be drooling snobs about the most mundane shit imaginable. Cities are great. Urbanists, not so much.

the energy of the OKC celebration last year vs. the Knicks this year is so funny walkable cities enable spontaneous eruptions of joy that are simply impossible to generate in suburban sprawl

I'm surprised more applicants don't "lie" about their race Colleges have zero incentive to check on people, and could never risk outsourcing to visual cues ... and they will *never* write down an objective standard or blood test to qualify for any specific race
Alex Mas@AMLabEcon

I often get asked by parents, what does my kid need to achieve to earn a place at UC Berkeley? The answer is, I don’t know. There used to be an implicit social contract that if a California resident excels in school and is a very high achiever, there would be a predictable path to one of the leading campuses of the University of California system. Until the early-2000s this was explicit in that between 50-75% of incoming classes had to be admitted on the basis of academic criteria alone (GPA, SATs, APs). A high school student basically knew what they had to hit to get admitted to Cal. UCs no longer considers SAT/ACT scores, and letters of recommendation are generally not part of the application. The remaining academic record is heavily based on grades, course-taking, "school context", supplemented by personal insight questions (in the AI era!) and activities. But in an era of substantial grade inflation, transcripts have become a noisy signal. True academic achievement matters much less than it used to. The result is, while not literally random, highly unpredictable and illegible admissions. For California families, it is no longer clear what level of achievement is enough for their kids, or even what kind of achievement the system is trying to reward. I suspect that is not what most families in California want.

@BRValentine1983 @OLarper59646 @vanillaopinions unfortunately he’s not wrong (despite his… interesting way of wording it) most of the shitty religious logic I see tossed around doesn’t have much more substance than a meth-ridden rant about my little pony character archetypes. The logic kind of flows the same way.

@StatisticUrban Philadelphia Dem party chair Bob Brady deserves plenty of blame. Steady turnout decline because the Philly Dem machine is deeply corrupt and lazy. Casey is to blame too, of course.

Bob Casey's loss was honestly so pathetic. I’m not saying he should've won easily, but a three-term incumbent should at least have been able to outrun Trump by as much as f’ing Elissa Slotkin did in an open seat. If he had even just tied her overperformance, he would've won.

IQ (and in turn gifted program) discourse would be much less annoying if people internalized that intelligence and virtue are not correlated.
