    A four-hour Marianne Williamson vs. Donald Trump debate is what America really deserves.

    Bizarre parallel among the claims against Kavanaugh: Accuser gives numerous specific names of people who can corroborate, and then no one does.

    6. Swetnick provided four names to @tvkatesnow of friends who would remember these alleged parties where gang rapes occurred...one of them said they don't remember a Julie Swetnick, another is deceased, and two others have yet to respond.

    This is amazing. The female English advantage is so much bigger than the male math advantage that the axis has to extend twice as far in that direction. And the male advantage is evident only in *richer* schools. But headline is about boys in math.

    This New York Times article documents a large reading gap favoring girls and a small math gap that sometimes favors boys. Guess which gap is presented as a big problem? nytimes.com/interactive/20…

    Sorry, but you don't get to have 50 years of Roe and also keep the right to whine about the judiciary being undemocratic and striking down laws people voted for.

    Someday, probably around 2035, the tech geniuses will figure out a way to make it so you can copy and paste from a f***ing PDF without spending the next five minutes deleting extra returns.

    Another police shooting study, looking at race of officer vs race of suspect; have only read the write-up but results seem consistent with Lott/Moody.

    This is hilarious. Journalist tries to buy gun at Walmart, but through a mix of store incompetence and not having the right ID drives a half hour twice without pulling it off. Describes in detail what a Walmart looks like though for those who've never been businessinsider.com/walmart-gun-bu…

    Apparently some kid in my daughter's preschool class got a positive COVID test, and now the entire class is shut down for 10 days. Can't test her and send her back, either, it's just 10 days. I've really just had enough of this crap.
