We had a great time. Great spot. Opening act BIG SURPRISE was excellent. Gracie really liked them. I got a Carter USM vibe off of them. PSB did not disappoint. They are my favorite band of this century. One of the best concerts ever. I was up 21 hours by the time I got home. @psbhq.bsky.social

Perhaps they mean 'the heritability of intelligence is around 50%', which is roughly accurate, but measures the genetic component of the variance of the trait in a specific population.
Slightly less snappy as an advertising slogan.

The sentence 'IQ is 50% genetic' is meaningless.

..and my favorite band that I've discovered in my 50s. Nerdy, progressive alternative rock about historical events. It's like they were made for me. I think I only rendered 1 guilty verdict for Flux. And it wasn't even the one with Corporal Brig.

Haha. Well, Harry (my ride) and Farrah are roans (horse speak for brown apparently) so the only pale horse I have is my white Kia Soul. My daughter and I are riding the Toaster to San Francisco (3.5 hours away) tonight to see a UK band. Public Service Broadcasting. First US tour in 8 years.

Searching for a quote from A Christmas Carol I came across The Morgan Library & Museum. Wow! Looks wonderful. www.themorgan.org
The Morgan Library & Museum, New York, founded by Pierpont Morgan
Just a short walk from Grand Central and Penn Station, the Morgan is a major exhibition venue for fine art, literature, and music, one of New York's great historic sites, and a wonderful place to dine...
