Internet muskox, queer person, economist & a bunch of other stuff. 40/any pronouns. Don't expect a cohesive brand from me.
Please no begging/solicitation. I'm tired and poor as fuck.

Just to Start, since this is a member of my discipline either obfuscating the truth or forgetting it: The cost of shelter has risen much faster than the cost of the items used to measure inflation (usually a 'basket of goods')
Love the charts. I wish people were more curious about why people's lived reality doesn't match up with the charts, because nothing is more frustrating to poor people than feeling like they're being gaslit by exasperated Democrats
Everyone has utterly lost the plot about the actual material state of the economy. It's as if the last 4 years did not happen. Denial of the shape of the earth. There's really no other conclusion other than that nothing actually matters anymore. We're through the looking glass into pure vibes.

There is something beautiful about these shitheads getting in the ring and getting absolutely rinsed. All the talk, all the bullshit, they think they can walk the walk, but when they have to step up and actually do it they crumple like foil. The *actual* boxers talk shit and follow through, lol
to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

And the most incriminating part is she testified that a few years later she was a contestant in trumps beauty pageant. I’m serious. “Jane also acknowledged that in 1998, she took part in a Miss Teen USA beauty pageant that was associated with Trump” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Lrps: a fundamental of why 'just the numbers' doesn't work as a framework for anything but the coldest, most analytical treatment of people. That seeps into everything else even if they pretend it doesn't. You have to consider human factors, especially since human-relevant stats are social science.

every fucking time this happens, too. and it's across the - admittedly narrow - breadth of these 'i'd call myself a progressive', 'i'm more a centrist', 'i lean right' economists, pundits, analysts. all of them talk about immigration and immigrants the exact same way. as numbers and nothing more.

the thing about chartfucker types is that while their bloodless 'we just care about the numbers' tone can sound reasonable and get people going 'why is everyone mad at them, idgi', once it gets to immigration, you get to see the actual horrors and inhumanity behind 'we just care about the numbers'

I love how demonstrably being out in public counts as isolation from society for these ghouls. I'd still be wearing one if it weren't crucial for me to limit exposure - but it is and I need to so double fuck them because it's what lets me leave the house, ever.
One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.

For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published
