Biden, delivering a teleprompter address at the NAACP convention, is repeatedly having trouble completing sentences. This is a fucking disagrace and it has to stop. He is incapable of campaigning.
I have been watching for perhaps 10 minutes and three different times he trailed off and said "anyway" because he couldn't remember the point he was making
In trying to explain his desperate-seeming housing policy, he seemed to say that landlords wouldn't be able to raise rent more than $55(?). And he kept saying "y'all said" he couldn't do this or that (like pass the Inflation Reduction Act), as though accusing the crowd
How the fucking fuck can he campaign when even with the aid of a teleprompter, 5:30 pm his time, he cannot accurately communicate the basics of his own policy proposal

okay I thought I misheard this so I didn't mention it but he in fact said, direct quote, "the palms tells us"

Going back to watch from the beginning and interesting quotes abound

"We have to stand against the violence and intimidation of white supremacy, the murder, innocent lives in that grocery store in Buffalo, New York when I went up there."

Yes I wish I were making this up too

1/ New from me in @TheEconomist: Emails released during discovery in a youth gender medicine case demonstrate that the World Professional Association for Transgender Health interfered w/the systematic reviews it commissioned from Johns Hopkins University.

economist.com/united-states/…
2/ The emails are damning, showing that for many months WPATH sought to control the output of the JHU team it paid $200k to examine questions pertaining to transgender healthcare as the Standards of Care 8 was developed.
3/ The quotes couldn’t be more explicit: “Hopkins as an academic institution, and I as a faculty member therein, will not sign something that limits academic freedom in this manner,” said Karen Robinson, head of the JHU effort, at one point. She consistently pushed back.

Not a direct comparison, but on the general principle: A good example of this was when some journalists and academics questioned the recovered-memory/Satanic sex abuse movement, causing them to be reviled by survivors' groups. As we all know, these "just asking questions" skeptics were wrong -- kids *were* routinely being stapled to trees, ritually raped by their pre-school teachers, etc., because recovered memories are always accurate. I'm glad Evan is helping promote solid journalism.
2/ More generally, "If you didn't do the thing you were accused of, why are people circulating memes saying you did?" is an excellent standard and a sign of a really sharp mind at work. I'd like to actually see if we can get this codified into the justice system.
3/ Slightly more recent example: Robby Soave DESPICABLY suggested the UVA rape story didn't add up. Anna Merlan famously called him out for it, and he was piled on by other supporters of rape victims. As we know, Soave was wrong -- the story was 100% true. Other examples abound. Image

It's 2024 and CNN cannot define 'sex' in a remotely coherent way: "A person’s sex is what they were assigned at birth based on biological characteristics of maleness or femaleness as indicated by chromosomes, gonads, hormones and genitals."

cnn.com/2024/05/06/hea…
2/Gender = "social construct and social identity marked by certain attitudes, feelings and behaviors a culture associates with someone’s biological sex, according to the [APA]." It's a construct AND and identity, and it's marked by 'certain' attitudes, feelings, and behaviors. k
3/ I think at a certain point, if you're going to claim that if people deviate from your preferred understanding of sex and gender and gender identity, it is going to lead to widespread oppression and possibly suicide, you have an obligation to define your terms clearly.

Amazing chain of events. The kid reiterates his murderous views *during* a disciplinary meeting and posts it online. He brags to his audience about having not walked it back. Columbia (apparently) doesn't take any further action. Then, when it goes public, he's sorry, Columbia's sorry (and bans him from campus), everyone's so sorry

nytimes.com/2024/04/26/nyr…
2/ The meeting was held by the "Center for Student Success and Intervention," one of God knows how many administrative bodies. Surely it creates a lot of work for folks. Those employees decided it's no big deal if this kid is threatening to kill his classmates. Image
3/ On one, I should specify I don't know for sure if they didn't take *any* action. What I do know is that this was in January, and he wasn't banned after threatening to kill Zionists and then doubling down during a disciplinary meeting.

1/ The Cass Review explains, in detail, why we need to trust systematic reviews over both doctors' anecdotal evidence and low-quality standards published by professional associations. The CBC responds by publishing an article that cites professional associations and is dominated by doctors' anecdotal accounts.

Science journalism seems screwed at the moment.

cbc.ca/news/health/pu…
2/ This might be the worst bit:

"Surveys and interviews are considered low-quality evidence in medicine, said [Pediatrician Dr. Tehseen Ladha], but that might be misleading to the general public. 'Many people would see low-quality evidence and think well, that means this could harm our children. But that's not what it means.' "

That's... exactly what low-quality evidence for a major intervention means. It means we don't know if the intervention offers a net benefit, because the true effects might differ significantly from what the studies in question present.Image
3/ Stuff like this isn't just the normal incompetence and sloppiness that plagues this subject. It is critically dangerous science miscommunication disseminated by the most important outlet in Canada. It's absolutely inexcusable and has to stop.

1/ Sam Seder just found out about the Cass Report yesterday and he is VERY concerned
2/ Should address one substantive point here. The caller says the Cass Review threatens access to hormones/surgery for any trans person under 25. This is NOT true. It's a viral rumor that popped up right after the report came out. I think the source is Erin Reed.
3/ Reed appears to be one of the most viral sources of misinformation about youth gender medicine within trans activism. In this case, she badly misread a part of the Cass Review and seeded her audience with the false 25 claim. Image
