The Surrallés study, Kay says, is suspect because it contains no numbers. It claims that people use multiple words for the same colors with the same frequency, but there are no statistics in the published article to support that.
Quote from the article above by the universal color theory guy: Some critics, he notes, even take issue with the very methodology of showing someone a simple chip of color. “There’s this argument that as soon as you use color chips, you’re imposing a Western framework that makes no sense to these people—you’re sort of violating their culture,” says Kay. But without color chips, he notes, it is extremely difficult to do a systematic, quantitative study of color perception.
Emily Wilson post: 7. The film centers odysseus's guilt over his war crimes, but never shows the pov of his victims, and instead glorifies the perpetrator for feeling bad about himself. I found this unsatisfying ethically and worse, imaginatively, because Damon's character is given only one mood.

AMA defintion of physician: Our American Medical Association affirms that a physician is an individual who has received a "Doctor of Medicine" or a "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" degree or an equivalent degree following successful completion of a prescribed course of study from a school of medicine or osteopathic medicine. Our AMA policy requires anyone in a hospital environment who has direct contact with a patient who presents himself or herself to the patient as a "doctor," and who is not a "physician" according to the AMA definition above, must specifically and simultaneously declare themselves a "non-physician" and define the nature of their doctorate degree. Our AMA actively supports the Scope of Practice Partnership in the Truth in Advertising campaign.

A clipping from wikipedia including citations from the page on Hamas Baby Beheading Hoax: Despite the weakness of the claims, they continued to be repeated for some time by Israeli and American officials. Biden reiterated that Hamas had beheaded babies at a press conference in November 2023. In response, The Washington Post published a fact check concluding that the story still warranted caution.[21] Biden again repeated this same falsehood on 12 December 2023 (after Haaretz published its investigation), again saying that he had seen photos showing the beheading of babies, being criticized this time by The Intercept.[10] Israeli officials also produced a video purportedly documenting the actions of Palestinian militants during the 7
A screencap of three replies next to each other, one, the above, the two below from the same person, Andrew Hazlett saying 1) And there has been a *real* threat from Iran for decades. Trump's actions have granted greater strategic power to the mullahs and increased their threat to the US and friends in the long-term. 2) No. Pointing out the war did not succeed on its own terms is fair.
Cory Booker tweet Don't believe the hype on Trump's deal with Iran. This isn't peace or strength—it's a dangerous giveaway. The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump's war. Now he's handing Iran billions in sanctions relief to rebuild their military. This is a disaster.
The scene from Donnie Darko where Jake Glyenhall talks about his imaginary friend, but Jake says "Without evil protagonists we would miss out on the character of Darth Vader" then the psychologist says "Miss out on Darth Vader from the hit movie star wars where he isn't a protagonist, or miss out on some comics 12 people read?" then Jake responds "Not miss out on Star Wars, but miss out on a comic no one read."
Donnie Darko siiting on a couch meme: Jake Gyllenhaal: I'm being asked to answer for this as a Jew. Mom or Psychologist or whomever: As a Jew or as a government official answering for your job? Jake: As a government official.

urgarles quote tweeting a guy I don't know saying "i don't care about the underlying issue other than to say i trust my wife so i don't get tested and if she doesn't trust me i suppose she could. that said, if you don't think jesse is winning this argument with every dummy coming at him, you are insanely wrong." And then posting to say "i am limiting interactions on this but to the extent this bothers you the appropriate responses remain very available." The quote tweet is someone named jessefarrar saying: "yeah you could find out the information you were asking for by looking it up, but looking it up is weird, according to someone. so you have to trust a guy you've not so subtly accused of being a bigot. kind of puts you in a bind, huh."

Post from "lowtax speedrun enjoyer" rickywlmsbong.bsky.social: If they are banning people for the psychotic harassment campaign that's gone on against stancil then they're right, and I don't care if the poster is trans or cis.
screencap of this thread: Me: "Yes the plan for women to secretly honeypot ice agents came from this one man, specifically a man who repeatedly posted for like 2 weeks about how there's no reason to do anything secretly." Fuck that guy so much. inchide: Fuck that guy for respecting the desire of the informant? Why? Me: Do you think Will stancil is an "informant" of Occupy Dems? inchide: What are you tlaking about? What happened is that some informant reached to will to give him info on ICE agents and acted based on that and later on that informant asked Will to tell about the story. Me: You are posting in support of the based cool guy you like, occupy dems, because you claimed occupy dems respected the desire of his informant. I am asking who you think occupy dems "informant" is that he is respecting.
The wikipedia summary of Leaving the Atocha Station, Ben Lerner's first book: "The first-person narrator of the novel, Adam Gordon, is an American poet in his early 20s participating in a prestigious fellowship in Madrid circa 2004. The stated goal of his fellowship is to write a long narrative poem highlighting literature's role in the Spanish Civil War. Gordon, however, spends his time reading Tolstoy, smoking spliffs, and observing himself observing his surroundings."

An image from above of the bluesky poster ? @ahhhhhhit who has a kirby avatar. The post says "Hey Iran. It's me your best friend that account on Bluesky. Please don't retaliate when your infastructure is hit. You should just surrender to the illegal war being waged by Israel and the US instead" and then quote posts Darth Putin complaining about Iran "escalating" by saying it will retaliate against US escalation.

Jessica Tisch, the NYPD police chief posting from the NYPD police chief twitter account that she saw videos of the cops that threw snowballs at kids FIRST had snowballs thrown back at them, and that's "attack cops" and "criminal" and that she has detectives "investigating" the matter.
A graph showing the "path to victory" where all states are arranged in a line based on polling, and the 270evs number is near a few states that are polling close, but far from states that poll far one way or another. This shows that people understand that, as for the 2024 forecast case in the image, that WI/PA/MI/NV/AZ/GA are the states that decide the election, and that IF for example, Texas went blue, then all those states would also have gone blue too, so the people voting in Texas would not decide the election.

Julian Castro in 2019 tweeting: Section 1325 is a shameful part of our legal code, written by a white supremacist Sentor in the 1920s. I'm happy to see @BernieSanders join me in saying it should be repealed [link to a vice article about sanders immigration platform]
Matt Bruenig posts: I mean just objectively, if you were to describe a snapshot of the current US economy to me, I'd tell you it's bad. Welfare state, Unions, Public Onwership, Inequality, poverty, all are way off where they ought to be. Will Stancil quote posts and says: It's sad because Matt's a smart guy but he's also a troll. "The economy is bad because of stuff that's all been true for decades" is obviously not a serious answer in an argument over why people are so much miserable today than in 2019, when conditions were similar or worse." Then Matt posts in reply: You pretend to argue about question on and then when you lose on question on, you pivot to question three. I can't tell if that's because you are dishonest or stupid. then links to a piece he wrote and posts a screen shot of it. Screenshot says: Ihave been closely monitoring the recent discourse on the goodness of the economy (I, II) and I think I’ve fully mapped it out and understand why it keeps breaking down. What is being presented as an argument about one question is actually an argument about three different questions: Is the economy good? Did Joe Biden do a good job with the economy given political constraints? Why do people say the economy is bad when asked by survey takers? Each of these questions is interesting when analyzed separately. But when you mush them together without realizing you are doing that, you end up in a rhetorical quagmire that causes frustration and confusion.

Jonathon Turley posts: As in the past, Sen. Warren seems strikingly selective in her outrage with those "cosying up" to Epstein, given the communications revelaed with other Democrats, including Del.

screen cap describing the 1948 election: Even though Kim Ku did not send his approvals for the new South Korean government and insisted that the lawmakers not cast votes for him, 13 of the 196 lawmakers who voted voted for Kim Ku. The election, however, ended as a landslide victory of the only candidate that actively sought the presidency, Rhee Syng-man, who received 180 of the 196 votes cast. One vote was invalidated, as it was cast for independence activist Seo Jae-pil, who at the time was a US citizen.
Earlier in this thread screenshotted: Bryn: Anyway, ideas don’t really matter much without the organized force of a class giving them teeth. Lots of sensible ideas have broad appeal in the US, like single-payer and GND-esque approaches to climate change, and that popularity doesn’t matter because the ruling class won’t let that happen Beelzabbab: The reason the ruling class doesn't let an idea happen is because the idea doesn't have enough backing. Everyone, even capital owners, are subject to the culture they live in. The ruling class changes its position regularly according to societal changes.

Screencap from the article saying: Defections played a significant role in the changing voting patterns of those born in the 1980s: 8% of 2020 Biden voters in this group switched their votes to Trump in 2024, while just 2% of 2020 Trump voters born in the ’80s switched their votes to Harris. Among those born in the 1990s or 2000s, changes in who turned out to vote accounted for the shift in Trump’s favor.

A screencap from the wikipedia page for Quotation Marks in English saying "In English writing, quotation marks or inverted commas, also known informally as quotes, talking marks,[1][2] speech marks,[3] quote marks, quotemarks or speechmarks, are punctuation marks placed on either side of a word or phrase in order to identify it as a quotation, direct speech or a literal title or name. Quotation marks may be used to indicate that the meaning of the word or phrase they surround should be taken to be different from (or, at least, a modification of) that typically associated with it, and are often used in this way to express irony (for example, in the sentence 'The lunch lady plopped a glob of "food" onto my tray.' the quotation marks around the word food show it is being called that ironically). They are also sometimes used to emphasise a word or phrase, although this is usually considered incorrect. [4][5]"
