like many in Virginia I’m a single issue voter right now

though the ds have been (even to me who has said a lot of the stuff Biden is facing like Afghanistan and inflation was baked in) surprisingly awful so far.

We are kinda stuck in the middle of the not knowing which way to go party and the rabbit hole party.

No one…that’s my entire Schtick…think critically for yourself based on a whole variety of sources…

otherwise: “I’d like to talk to you about a great opportunity for your dd who is an absolute goat. With my training she’s sure to make the USWNT even though she’s a bencher for your current team. She’s underutilized. It’s only $5000 a year…a bargain considering all the trophies you’ll be getting”

Predicting the future is like predicting the next measure of a song once you have the worm in your head. It only has certain ways it can go once you are down a certain path…it follows a structure…though every once in a while it might take an interesting turn. Most people can’t do it because they don’t want to look or they only want to see what they want to or they don’t like the genre. But until the musicians start playing the possibilities are endless and it’s impossible to predict. Given his handle, busker should be better at it than he is.

Researchers and academics are notoriously poor at predictions because they are inherently biased towards identifying individual variables and can isolate variables in the lab. You can neither control nor isolate variables in the real world. That's why gut instinct based on experience is often more reliable than a proven mathematical equation. Hence why GraceT has generally been more accurate than Dad4.

The perfect illustration is how Dad4 always defaults to masks being the reason for one state doing better than another. Except when there are exceptions so he claims its because its a different virus or alcohol consumption.

There are people who do exactly that kind of analysis. They've consistently told us what works: vaccines, masks, distance, and being outside.

Is it their fault if some people here would rather repost Twitter memes than listen to someone who actually knows something?

I mentioned yesterday that Gavin Newsom, faced with a case rate twice as high as Florida's, explained that "there is a seasonality to COVID."

Now isn't that something.

When Florida's case rate was the higher one, Newsom couldn't criticize the Florida governor enough. He didn't mention seasonality.

So once again, when cases rise in red states, this is because the stupid hicks won't follow the rules. But when they rise in blue states, well, we just don't know what's causing it!

Or, now, as the Florida governor's press secretary describes the media response: Why, I guess it's just COVID season in the blue states!

Incidentally, here's how the Washington Post responded when Ron DeSantis tried explaining seasonality a few months ago:

Meanwhile, yesterday Congressman Thomas Massie wrote this:

for some things. Talking to various experts, particularly those of differing opinions, is also useful. The problem with the meritocratic cult though is that it believes it has the all the answers, and then gets offended when they are challenged because it undermines their meritocratic status.

I never saw meritocracy as a bad thing.

I have a song for you --

God wins, at least that's what I was taught at Sunday School Grace T. I really want to hope for that but I'm prepared that God actually loses and were all going to be trapped on the planet with Golden Gate as the Warden. I tried to fight the good fight with my words for the good of the team, but man, this GG is hard opponent. Tel A Vision is way more powerful then I thought as well.

Don’t kid yourselves. Look at what you repost. You don’t trust no one. You trust Twitter.

Some of that meritocratic resentment shining through I see

twitters just a tool. The internet is the great leveler of information. It’s why the meritocrats hate it— legal zoom, webmd and khan academy cutting into their business. That’s why the internet cos are trying to restrict the flow of info— so they can tame the tiger again. The ones that resent it the most are the legacy media: it’s cut into both their $ and influence.

A lot of teachers love the Khan Academy, they just have students get on its website and saves them the effort of actually having to teach.

Your people are still waiting!

Remember the QAnon believers waiting for JFK Jr. in Dallas? They're still there.

JFK Jr. didn't show, obviously, but believers have a new theory.

I have family there. Yes they are Republicans, but not the anti-America, insurrectionist type, they can’t stand these fools . . . but then again we have some long time friends from further south that might be camping out. They do claim to do things together, lol!
As far as the media goes they gotta keep track of the insurrectionist wherever all ya all go!
