What's wrong with appendix bloat?

Say What You Found is almost always the correct choice for empirical work.

To improve the title, @saywhatyoufound.bsky.social !

If you mean Blake Lemoine, a year later he learned telepathy so he could talk to ghosts. If you mean Geoffrey Hinton, a year later he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

If you're talking about the present, it sounds like you mostly agree with the author. If you're talking about the future, this seems like a facile response unless you also think the Hard Problem isn't Hard.

Right, but you can also see the word “marijuana” below the leaf, and I don’t think you’re claiming that Trump is claiming the he literally has the word “marijuana” tattooed. The “M” is the same.

But it doesn’t matter if he *is* MS-13, so better not to take that bait and focus on what we already know to be illegal.

This is a misunderstanding. Kilmar certainly has the leaf/smiley/cross/skull; you can see it in photos with Van Hollen. Nobody claims he has “M” above the leaf or “marijuana” below it; those are annotations. The claim is that the symbols mean “MS-13”, which is speculative.

You dislike… sourcing?

For reference, that’s about the consumption of Laos or Cuba: 15 TWh. The specific “117 countries” claim comes from www.businessenergyuk.com/knowledge-hu...

You don’t need to do a study, it’s all public! Lesotho exports $240M goods to the US, mostly textiles, imports only $2.8M, so the trade imbalance is 1-2.8/240=99%. Trump’s reciprocal tariff is thus 99%, temporarily discounted by half to 50% in his infinite generosity.

Like this?

This is great.

Got it. Still think a log scale might be interesting!

Nice. Would be interested to see this on a log scale without topcoding. (Not suggesting the current presentation is bad, just interested in the alternative presentation.)

These are, without qualification, the most important facts about humanity.

A chart in three parts showing data on child mortality to make the points that "The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. All three statements are true at the same time."

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.

All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems.

We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵

Why $4? Individual income components (e.g. wage income and farm income) are almost all divisible by $10, but occasionally some are coded as $4, so there are some totals that end in 4 or 8. Anyone know why?

According to ACS, after $0, the modal personal income is $50K, followed closely by $30K and $40K. (The modal incomes that aren't divisible by 10000, 1000, 100, and 10 are $12000, $9600, $250, and $4.)

It would be a strange equilibrium if we ended up in a sequence of nonconsecutive terms: A-B-A-B-C-D-C-D-E-F-E-F-…

@drsimevans.carbonbrief.org feel free to correct me if I'm the one mischaracterizing. 🙂

In defence of International Energy Agency (IEA) World Energy Outlooks I recently posted an update of the (in)famous chart comparing actual solar capacity growth with the levels in successive editions of the International Energy Agency (IEA) World Energy Outlook "Stated ...

It’s not fair to call those scenarios “predictions”. The IEA WEO doesn’t make any unqualified predictions or forecasts. They know they’re lowballing reality. Read more at the link. www.linkedin.com/pulse/defenc...
