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.

That's awesome Lee. It's Gracie's first concert. My first Bay Area concert since The Joshua Tree tour in 87. Love PSB.

..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.
