I also have a hard time opening up to new things, but I am all in on Past Lives. It helps that they still start with the vignettes, which have always been my favorite part.

It's funny when people say "the Supreme Court can't do X" in 2026 as if the current court cares about law or precedent.

choice for the long run. However, the result of the tournament was that the highest average score was attained by the simplest of all strategies submitted: TIT FOR TAT. This strategy is simply one of cooperating on the first move and then doing whatever the other player did on the preceding move. Thus TIT FOR TAT is a strategy of cooperation based on reciprocity. The results of the first round were then circulated and entries for a second round were solicited. This time there were 62 entries from six countries (23). Most of the contestants were computer hob-byists, but there were also professors of evolutionary biology, physics, and computer science, as well as the five disciplines represented in the first round. TIT FOR TAT was again submitted by the winner of the first round, Professor Ana-tol Rapoport of the Institute for Advanced Study (Vienna). It won again. An analysis of the 3 million choices which were made in the second round identified the impressive robustness of TIT FOR TAT as dependent on three features: it was never the first to defect, it was provocable into retaliation by a defection of the other, and it was forgiving after just one act of retaliation (24).

Counterpoint: no it wasn't

The YES has won in Virginia; voters approved the constitutional amendment to adopt Dems' congressional gerrymander.

Strong priors led some influential voices to tell over-confident stories about noise.

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

He uses so many words to say so little. I don't think I've ever made it more than a few paragraphs into one of his posts, and no one has ever shown me a reason why I should.

The correct answer is 147, which I didn't know when I asked but worked out because I didn't trust the machine.

Useless garbage.

With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote.

Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.

The mystery variable that explains stubbornly low consumer sentiment Plus, more on moderation and AI “polls.” Your weekly political data roundup for April 12, 2026.

Consumer sentiment is at the lowest level ever. This is not what you’d predict given inflation, GDP, spending data. But one variable from UMich sheds some light on the subject: the percent of people who are saying prices are nominally high is at an ATH.
