The most basic fundamentals of cognitive processing.
Humans observe events, narrate stories to explain them, and assign emotions to those stories.
This helps illustrate how influencers can emotionally manipulate outcomes with biased or false narratives around events.
The decision to repeatedly deploy 250+ cops armed with PAVA spray, tasers, batons, horses, and dogs to force through a group of 30-40 fascists against hundreds of counterprotestors has to be understood not just as the cops "protecting" the fash but actively behaving as their enforcers.
Oh fuck yes

Read this. Think in terms of verification, deliberation, and analysis, and you'll not go wrong.
The fucking hell even is this statement?? Absolutely unhinged.
for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

This does not mean ignore data. Quite the opposite.
Anyway, shutting up. And fuck Jeff Bezos forever, despite this quite useful bit of analysis on his part.

support shit like this, too.
The actual quote ends with the following -
"It’s usually not that the data is being miscollected.
It’s usually that you’re not measuring the right thing.
If you have a bunch of customers complaining about something, and at the same time your metrics look like they /2
Ah yes, the ol' "well if everyone believes it then it must be true" approach.
I've also seen famous space penis Jeff Bezos' once in a lifetime accurate statement about bugfixing - "when the data and the anecdotes disagree, the anecdotes are usually right" being deliberately misrepresented to /1

This is a massive environmental disaster and it doesn’t get nearly enough attention or resources as it should, it shouldn’t take the best scientist in the space to point out how dangerous this is to tens of thousands of people, if not more.

Because Mr Lewis was acting on CFAs at this stage, it appears that he and Patron Law were not charging their clients who dabbled in anti-semitism. And the only way Mr Lewis could get paid was if the Jewish person they had bullied either: gave in by settling their claims; or lost at trial. Unless their fascist-curious clients won, Mr Lewis and Patron Law were effectively acting for them for free. This position changed, though, on 9 March 2023 when a further notice of funding form was filed at court which showed that Ms Power’s CFA had been terminated. Although Ms Power’s CFA with Patron Law ended, Mr Miller’s continued. There is a bit to unravel here, and the starting point is that Mr Ben Delo, the billionaire who co-founded BitMEX, a crypto-currency exchange and trading platform applied to register a charge on Ms Power’s house and then around £350k was paid to Patron Law in March 2023 towards Ms Power’s costs in the litigation.
