My reviewing style has changed over time. Rather than litigate every little thing, and pushing my own ideas, I focus only on 2 things:
(1) Are the claims interesting/important?
(2) Does the evidence support the claims?
Most of my reviews these days are short and focused.

EEUU se va a la mierda y nos arrastrará a todos.
"By remodeling the White House, the president is declaring, both literally and symbolically, that what was once the people’s house now belongs to him and his MAGA movement. And it’s becoming increasingly clear that he has no intention of ever leaving it." @salon.com www.salon.com/2025/10/28/t...
Trump's bulldozer is aimed at more than the White House
The president has a third term — and American democracy — in his sights

"Experimenter bias" refers to a mistake in scientific studies where the experimenter wants to see something, and so unconsciously designs protocols to prove what they want to see. RFK here provides an example, Let me explain what we might see based on this. 🧵

Pero si se puede explicar en inglés qué significa ‘lagom’, entones no es cierto que ciertos pensamientos solo pueden existir en ciertas lenguas. Si acaso, que ciertas palabras no se pueden traducir con una sola palabra en otras lenguas, que no es lo mismo.
