Violence is down in Baltimore; at the same time:
- incarceration is up
- incarcerated population is blacker
- more youth being booked as adults

If you search for MD incarceration you get a bunch of the usual liberal news pieces characterizing these trends as purely negative. Image

The SMTM series on obesity is flawed because it stems from two wrong assumptions:

- weight gain suddenly exploded in the 1980s

- calories cannot explain this

They then spend several articles searching for esoteric biological explanations for a conundrum of their own creation.
The belief that Americans got suddenly fatter in the 1980s is an error of interpretation caused by looking at graphs of "obesity" rates rather than straightforward weight over time, which shows a steady rise with no unexplained sudden increase. Image
Because "obesity" is an arbitrary round number BMI threshold, and population weight is a distribution with tails, you get non-linear effects. The rise in "obesity" can be made to happen at any time by redefining what obesity is, a meaningless exercise. Image

There's "no alienation" from immigration because Noah's personal experience with hispanics is taco trucks, and if your experience is different he'll find a way to disqualify it.

I found being the only white guy on a construction site full of non-English speakers alienating.
As a Texan, when I moved out of my parent's house, the affordable housing options (outside the hood or trailer parks) were tract homes built for and occupied by hispanics. This was not the case for my parents' generation.

I lived in a Census tract that was >70% foreign born hispanic. None of my neighbors spoke English, or at least if they did, they never wanted to speak to me, the only white guy on the block.
My first boss was first US generation Mexican, and a decent man. Many of our Texas customers were also Mexican. I became aware of a divide in the business world in which there was a segment of my own country I effectively couldn't trade with without a Mexican representative.

The "Tulsa Race Massacre" was invented in the 2010s as a blood libel against whites for redditors to put on the front page of /r/TIL every five minutes. Leftist thought police then rewrote every history article about the event to use the sensational new label.

Archived versions of history websites use the old term, as do all the citations modern sites rely on.Image

The name of "massacre" was added to the Wikipedia article for the Tulsa Race Riot in 2018. In 2020, the article itself was renamed. Image

The "Tulsa Race Massacre" was effectively invented, in the public imagination, in October 2019, when the show Watchmen premiered with a fictionalized and exaggerated depiction of innocent blacks being bombed by whites. The term was practically nonexistent before then. Image
Amusingly, actual Oklahomans who were probably taught about the Tulsa riot in school and have by far the greatest search volume for it, are the only state where the historical "race riot" term predominates over "massacre". Image
Liberals think they know history, but what they actually know is a brief slideshow of events that have been curated for them by TV writers as their canon, and only on their exact terms and framing.

The same companies responsible for enabling motion smoothing on your parents' TV by default are polluting the historical record with "AI enhanced" pictures that phone users don't know about.

This picture isn't fake; it's just been tampered with without the user's understanding.
It's not just that the quality is poor and the faces got messed up. Even if the company "fixes" their camera to not output jumbled faces, the photo won't be a record of a real human. It will be an AI invention of what it thinks a plausible looking human face is for that context.
Phone manufacturers have an irresistible temptation to deliver on the user's expectations for what they should see when they take a picture, even if the quality they expect is not possible to deliver. So they wow their customers by making up fake details in their pictures.

The immigration issue has flipped the liberal stance on regulations like child labor, wage minimums, and health codes, because their ideal American is now a poor migrant doing petty hustles on the margins of the formal economy, who must never be interfered with by government.
It's still a common lib refrain that if your business can't afford to operate within laws of safety and living wages then it shouldn't exist at all. But that comes into conflict with the new mindset that the more chaotic and poor an activity is the more it must be protected.
There's a political cartoon tweet, since deleted, in which the cartoonist contrasts the idyllic blue state vision for America as a land of high speed trains, clean streets, and job programs, in contrast to the dirty red town of poverty, dirty polluters, and payday loan places.
