If they didn't test it with different words - and different languages - I really can't be confident in the results

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Except for the persecution of a small number of activists, nothing they are doing has anything to do with woke students who protest and can't get jobs. I understand politicians lie a lot, and a New Yorker articles is not really going to shape the public narrative, it's just offensive.

They all know, and they know the reporters know, that the indebted, protesting, useless-major students are a tiny fraction of all college students. It's just not credible, and journalists should stop repeating it. Source:

Here is the updated trend with most of the controls. In JSE I could say: although the absolute size of the gender gap in opposition to pornography has not grown, as both lines are trending toward zero the ratio of women's to men's opposition *is* increasing, so our theory is still correct. JSE!

JSE is a face-saving mechanism for reporting that things have turned out differently, as it gives you a chance to explain what happened while maintaining buzz and channeling new citations to the more recent paper.

Funny thing happened after 2012 (see figure). This is why wee need the Journal of Subsequent Events. The paper is still puttering along at half a dozen citations per year, and apparently no one noticed the trend changed. Why should I bother to tell you this, if it will only hurt me? JSE!

We said opposition to porn declining faster for men was "consistent with the increasingly normative nature of pornography consumption for men, increases over time in men’s actual consumption of pornography, and its increasingly degrading depiction of women." Seemed reasonable. Open version:
