We voted in the lesser evil in July. The fascists are still coming to burn down the mosque tonight.
Go vote if you want. I do it too. It feels good. But don't pretend you are saving the mosque when you vote. Think bigger.

Let's be honest. The progress is pretty scattered. Here is the bitcoin data. It is still very high. This is still a real concern.

Is there a way to make each box in the outlook calendar display the full date? I hate seeing a box like below that just says "18". I want it to say "18 Jan 2024". I don't want to have to hunt around the screen to double-check I am in the right month and year. Thanks in advance if anyone knows

I find it kind of fascinating how much this upsets people. It is, at worst, an exaggeration for effect that doesn't go as hard as lots of mainstream media.

Do these politicians really not understand that a white ethnostate would gladly put them in the exact same camp as the transgender people, Africans, Eastern Europeans, and all the other marginalised groups

Oh my god, even more cherrypicking! Yes, it has gone up a little bit over the last few months. Up all the way to a point where it is just about even with the 2008 Great Recession. Which means it is still in the toilet.

This also builds on the classic Ebbinghaus illusion, where a single dot is perceived as larger when it is surrounded by smaller dots.

New paper! In short: there is a numeric version of the Ebbinghaus Illusion. These dot clouds have the same number of blue dots, but the left one looks like a little more to most participants.

I wouldn't say it needs more anecdote, but it does need to reorient to the experience people are having. See below for a starting point. Plenty of data. Things like U3, M2, etc. can then come in later to help explain once we know the core story to examine.

Both. 2020 was bad. 2023 is worse. This is shown clearly in many datasets if you care to actually look.

Here is a chart of the Current Economic Conditions Index, a measure of how consumers feel the economy is for them. I see a slow grind due to skyrocketing cost of living and the steady withdrawal of support (e.g. medicare unwinding). Where do you see this big bad social media influence? What year?
