This mega was much better when people weren't giving themselves wedgies arguing about what met their classification of news.

In conjunction with this study, researchers also asked some of the same questions of 4,574 Americans who do notidentify as Black or African American. The findings show that Black Americans are more religious than the American public as a whole on a range of measures of religious commitment. For example, they are more likely to say they believe in God or a higher power, and to report that they attend religious services regularly. They also are more likely to say religion is “very important” in their lives and to be affiliated with a religion, and to believe prayers to ancestors have protective power and that evil spirits can cause problems in a person’s life.

I'm not sure "Black Americans are one of the most oppressed therefore they have the most revolutionary potential" by itself a good, complete analysis. The main counterpoint I would make is that Black Americans are also the most religious of any race in the US, and are therefore likely harder to radicalize, in part because on top of being religious, they predominately belong to churches that are more socially conservative than non-Black Democrats. Frankly, if the GOP ever managed to stop being fucking racist, you would likely see a significantly shift in Black voter alignment in the US. This is, of course, also not a complete list or analysis of why Mamdani didn't get as much support, just an additional point I wanted to make.

What if we did Los Zetas, but gringo style?

I propose we work on cutting off the money supply to the cartels by giving every member of Mar-a-Lago and the Trump admin a hair drug test.

The judge took one look at the 14 pages ChatGPT generated to describe a meal and said "I've seen enough here."

I am doing statistical analysis for "non-technical" people who would likely react by laying people off if they aren't spoonfed the correct takeaways from the data.

Coworkers: Hey, do you have that analysis we requested?

Me, out loud: No, I haven't figured out how to get the data model to work correctly yet.

Me, in my head: Yes, I finished it two days ago, but I don't trust you to not do something stupid with it yet until I can dig into it more.

What is going on here? Are these people who are trying to flip game skins?
