Amy, see yonder & ponder: Twenge Strikes Back....

South Dakota legislator stands up to child abuse:

Under the Knife of Cultural Blindness

Read 'em and weep.

Murray has a new book coming out, unrelated (I think) to that table.

See also, the new Caldwell book.

Either America is either coming to grips with important truths in a compassionate, deliberative manner, or the onrushing coast-to-coast conflagration is going to make Sherman's March to the Sea look like a Build-A-Bear™ Workshop.

I'm glad to be today years old, which is not young, despite the continuing thunder of my erotic presence. Don't wanna be here when all the machinery falls apart.

Aw Hell, the Read 'Em and Weep link didn't work. Hate when that happens. Anyway, again, I don't think that table is from Murray's soon-to-be published book.

Consider also this here.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

The Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez School of Economics

Just another reason to bring back public hangings:

Police: Mom accused of killing her 3 kids said she smothered them while singing

Walter E. Williams nails it. Again.

Diversity Isn’t Always the Answer

How to spread the Zombie Virus.

(1) Suspect you might have the Zombie Virus.

(2) Mask your symptoms to avoid government detection.

(3) Fly to France to enjoy a good meal.

(4) Brag about it online because what's the point of spreading the Zombie Virus if you don't get likes?

Okay, now imagine a billion zombies.

Write your own snickering taunts; you know who you are.

Mere cowinky-doodle.

Perhaps, like me, you regard sanctimony about public broadcasters as repugnant.

An MMA fighter, a male to female transgender athlete who is dominating her sport and who twice broke an opponent’s skull has been named the bravest athlete in history.

Wow. This is a sucker’s game that many seem to be failing for. Fallon Fox is a former navy specialist who has been winning fights ever since switching over to the women’s side.

Amy, this from Haidt augments the Twenge link.

Sweet ride!

How to spread the invasive species for sabotage and profit.

Joke video, the splatter is a nice touch.

This might be a fun way to play with a dog out in the woods or something, but transmission latency has got to be a problem.

Intelligence and the military.

Dammit, Bee!

VR cop training.

If this IS the apocalypse, please know that I admired some* of you.

*We can be highly confident that
this is NOT the apocalypse.

Crid, guess who agrees with Twenge?

And this is why they aren't scientists. May as well gut a chicken and get high so you can tell the future, Lenona.

Lenona, I've never heard of this guy.

Twenge may have thoughts about video games, but it's her affirmation that (post-2010) social media is behind the near-doubling of suicides and mental health crises in adolescent girls that brought her to my attention.

Unless you didn't click the link, that's a very strange joke, Crid.
