  • If you think it's news that Meta's new public policy director, Dustin Carmack, is a Project 2025 co-author,

    Consider dropping a tip to your preferred news outlet. I've already sent an email to The Verge's tipline and I implore you to do the same.

    The new survey by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, conducted two weeks after Biden’s debate flop, also found that only about 3 in 10 Democrats are extremely or very confident that Biden has the mental capability to serve as president, down from 40% in an AP-NORC poll from February.

  • Looks like the datasets consist of every poll from October and November. Would love to see a time axis.

  • I think the consensus is generally that it's better data analysis but most of the journalistic team is gone. Still plenty of solid stuff. I would say it's probably competitive with a couple of other similarly lightweight models and teams/individuals. Nate Silver's kind of gone off the deep end since he least.

  • This argument is nonsense. It works for them and not for us because they are FASCISTS. This relationship with the truth and cult of personality are essential tenants of fascism. No amount of whataboutism will solve the Biden's electoral issues.

  • Kamala Harris surges as top choice to replace Joe Biden: Poll
  • doesn’t even care if their candidate raped a child and tried to overthrow their government

    It's right there. It's because his voters don't care. Calls to drop out from a faction Trump calls 'the enemy of the people', is a huge waste of time.

  • Kamala Harris surges as top choice to replace Joe Biden: Poll
  • Yes but she's capable of actually campaigning. Expectations have been clear since the debate. If he got right out there and started campaigning immediately, he'd probably be doing fine. It's becoming clear however that he can't.

  • Biden blasts ‘elites’ urging him to exit race in surprise interview
  • The party leaders aren't the ones preventing a move on Biden. Basic support for Biden is tantamount to no action at this point but they are generally taking a wait and see approach. Im mostly taking about the political influencers telling you not to believe your eyes and ears.

    Conformity to masculine norms tied to higher stress and reluctance to seek mental health help
    www.psypost.org Conformity to masculine norms tied to higher stress and reluctance to seek mental health help

    A recent study found that men who more strongly endorse traditional masculine norms experience higher stress and are less likely to seek mental health help, emphasizing the need to address gender-specific barriers and promote positive masculine traits.

    Why men feel like they can't abandon Masculinity

    This discussion was inspired by discussion on this post.

    > Toxic man: oh guess I am just gunna keep doing what I am doing if you aren’t going to tell me what to do.

    The reason this comes up is that masculinity is largely based around externally conferred social status. You have to constantly be doing something to maintain an image of masculinity. Often this means some sort of social or physical violence in the right time or place (beat up the mugger to defend your partner, call out your boss when you're being treated unfairly, put rival men in their place). Just as frequently, however, it is the expectation of a certain amount of self sacrifice (paying for meals, military service).

    What they don't understand is how anyone can expect them to maintain their social status when they are avoiding this role that they have been explicitly shown that there will be consequences if they fail to meet. The answer is simple: once you're out of the masculinity rat race, you're out. By refusing to take part in the hierarchy of dominance you will eventually be subject to a more general and, frankly, human set of standards.

    The only problem is that all of these pressures are external in the first place and this whole dynamic creates strong social gender boundaries. It is very easy for a lot of men to look at their social circles and see exclusively people who punish them for a failure to live up to a masculine ideal.

    Brain imaging shows parents have heightened neural responses to sons' gender nonconformity
    www.psypost.org Brain imaging shows parents have heightened neural responses to sons' gender nonconformity

    Recent research shows that parents exhibit stronger neural responses to their own children, especially sons, violating gender norms compared to unknown children. This heightened reactivity is more pronounced among parents with traditional views on gender roles.
