Incentive structures for education research and publication are not designed to support replication. You don't make your name or get tenure by replicating someone's results. We are taught we stand on the shoulders of previous researchers - but we get pubs and make tenure by stepping on their faces.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Mr. Mamdani's tax returns contained none of the splash of some of his predecessors', particularly those released by former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, a billionaire whose staff would every year usher the media into his accountant's office, where they would learn how many homes he owned (at one point, they numbered 12). Mr. Mamdani, in contrast, lived with his wife in a rent-stabilized apartment in Astoria in Queens before moving to Gracie Mansion in January. His financial disclosure statement also said he owns property in Uganda. The tax returns for Mr. Bloomberg's successor, Bill de Blasio, were more anodyne. During his first year as mayor, Mr. Mamdani's predecessor, Eric Adams, put off releasing his tax returns for months, a situation he blamed in part on his hiring an accountant who he said subsequently became homeless. He ultimately released them that October.

Mike Miles Cancels Moonlighting Contract with His Former Charter School Network Houston ISD says its state-appointed superintendent has ended a paid agreement with Third Future Schools, after the Observer obtained the contract and requested comment. A 2025 state law restricts moo...

Mike Miles was moonlighting: earning $190,000 over the past three years as a consultant for Third Future Schools (TFS), the Colorado-based charter school network he founded and previously led.

This likely violated state law.

it's a matrilineal society. So you wouldn't be eligible since it's through your dad and his dad - but he has been recognized and identified as a Cherokee Citizen by the Cherokee Nation. That's really all any of us need to know.

Fair - this feels more like Chuck E Cheese gateway to the casino as curriculum.

The man is Cherokee from Tulsa - he HAS to know he himself was ineligible for US citizenship until two generations ago.

Texas Rangers frustrate LGBTQ advocates as only MLB team without a Pride Night The team says it maintains its long-standing commitment "to make everyone feel welcome and included in Rangers baseball."

The only team without a pride night doing something like this!?!? Shocking!

The Texas Rangers have unveiled a controversial new statue modeled after Jay Banks, a former Texas law enforcement officer known for enforcing school segregation.

The unveiling preceded the MLB’s celebration of Jackie Robinson Day, which commemorates the first African American MLB player.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

So pro-voucher Dems will push for vouchers. But the overall state party? Do you have any links or anything to share to support that? Web search turns up nothing

More Americans doubt vaccine safety than trust it, POLITICO Poll finds Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s views are commonplace across the land.

Epistemological crisis is a lot to take before 6am.

I can understand why they wrote it as they did - but by trying to eliminate one aspect of bias by making the q “balanced,” they introduced a worse bias.

I really blame the writer and editor more, but know that publication strives to “win the morning”

and suspect the phrase "it is damaging to question it" is a BIG thumb on the scale of these results. If you eliminated the "damaging..." clauses from both, I imagine results would be very different.

It's a garbage phrasing of the question: "Which of the following comes closest to your view?: The science on vaccines is clear and it is damaging to question it | The facts on vaccines are still up for debate and it is damaging to enforce their uptake"

There's no greater sign of the iron grip that "both sides" framing has on American journalists than the repeated descriptions of the unhinged tantrum Trump is throwing over the pope's anodyne statements on Catholic doctrine as a "feud" or a "fight" or anything else that implies they're both to blame
