Harsanyi

Pointing out the obvious.

Democrat Campaign Slogans

A good slogan can boost a campaign. “All the way with LBJ”, “Morning in America”. So here I present, diffidently, some ideas for the Democrats in 2018.

Punch Deplorables

Think Globally, Punch Locally

Simpson's Paradox

A pretty decent 5 minute explanation of what Simpson's Paradox is.

WLU suffering

This is fantastic news.

Update. More good news: WLU, Pimlott, and Rambukkana are being sued by Peterson.

WLU's response is hilarious.

Fake Book Spreadsheet

David Bernstein points to a summary of falsehoods in Democrcay in Chains . 
Here.
I have previously blogged about point 48. A few random points of interest are the altered quote point 49, the patent falsehood 56, the blend of smear and appeal to ignorance at 14 ( even I know about the Whisky Rebellion), and the smear 37.

Denying evolution at Vox

A dismantling.

Priorities

The EU pushes a vast expansion of “You can’t say that.”

The Lollipop Guild Is No More

The last surving Munchkin has died.

Few big stars from the 30s remain. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Kirk Douglas, Norman Lloyd, and of course Olivia De Havilland.

UPDATE: Baby Peggy is still alive! She was a huge star in the silents.

CNN vs CNN

Here.

It's just a tweet, and she later corrected. But she didn't just make a false report. She claimed the false report was confirmed. That's not just a lurch at something she wants to believe,  a twitch of confirmation bias. It's fakery.

This is why Trump can call CNN fake news. Because it fakes news.

Remakes

Not just for Hollywood any more.

Firing for Justice

Lowly-paid employees who did nothing wrong are the real problem.

Foundry

By John Mackey

Another performance.
