i was gonna ask whether it wouldn't be too sacrilegious to instead represent the interaction effect as its own node and it turns out this has already been suggested (obv) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Gaza is going silent.

The Holocaust was not a singular event, but one of the core Western values we are repeatedly told are shared by Israel.

literally fox news level views on the scary brown people from "The Orient".

clearest case of need to separate the art from the artist

Pearl displays what is probably the most extreme ratio of quality of scientific output to quality of "political" takes. Israel has been mass murdering and dispossessing Palestinians for almost a century and the conflict is asymmetric in favour of... the Palestinians.

A picture of an unelected Palestinian religious leader (who commanded a few thousand fascists) with an elected German head of state (who commanded millions of fascists), often used to convey the rampant antisemitism of... Palestinians.

Step 1 is okay but the remaining steps include some gibberish. Here's an improved version that explains the rationale upfront:

oh no won't someone please think about the Bänke and Wände!

jfc our state institutions incl. the HU continue to support a genocidal terrorist state that burns children alive with impunity. what would it take for german "journalists" to develop an iota of integrity?

Opposing a military occupation whose main purpose since its conception is the annihilation of an entire indigenous people is easily the least complicated moral position I have.

what i make them in power point _because_ i want them to be pretty. plus when converted to pdf and shown in pdf they sometimes get that artisanal 60s textbook look that you can't get anywhere else nowadays

The premise remains the same as for the old version of the preprint (bsky.app/profile/taym...), but besides the improved graphs and expanded comparisons, we now use an abridged version of the Total Survey Error framework to motivate the use of regularised prediction and poststratification.

hurrah! a new preprint*! weee have DAGs! we have Total Survey Error**! WE have MrP (rebranded as RPP)! We have cool plots showing how even high quality random samples can benefit from a good weighting model! What else do you want?!

I truly wish most Israelis were innocent of the atrocities their state and army are committing and that we could blame Bibi for everything but the sooner we accept this is false the sooner we'll realise that Israel has to be stopped by an outside force.

cruel, inhumane treatment of migrants, destabilisation of, and mass murder in far off regions, persecution of anti-war/anti-genocide/anti-zionist speech, disdain for the poor etc. are unnegotiable functions of any american administration.
