I mainly write nonfiction on social science & propaganda. Also into sci-fi! Here to connect with people who have similar interests. https://www.fiverr.com/sellers/chesterdavis468 Nonfiction: https://medium.com/@chesterdavis & howsocietyworks.substack.com
Just stopping by to keep this account somewhat active.
Please mind your minds as you consume commentary on what's going on and why.
Misinformation merchants don't rest.
A trend called looksmaxxing emerged from the dark corners of the Web a few years ago. We need a positive counter to the nonsense these looksmaxxing influencers spew. We can call it thinkmamaxxing - critical thinking, science literacy, snark, slang.
Ever heard of looksmaing. This is seemingly an outgrowth of the masculine, mysogynist "man-o-sphere" that fuels and then exploits a segment of the male population that is young, and leans toward being insecure and socially isolated besides.
I started selling bespoke curlers online and now i'm rolling in money.
Banning institutional investors from buying homes likely won't make housing more affordable? This is a good reminder that we should check to be sure our "solutions" will work before we become committed.
I watched part of that video last night! And it was interesting that a few people chose to comment off-camera, or said they would not travel here because of the political climate.
i read the prologue to A Fire Upon the Deep tonight and I am worried about AI now.
Kidding.
Well done, sociologists!
Same.
Random Science Thoughts (tm): The information and analysis we consume doesn't come to us right from scientists' minds. Instead, politicians, activists, and business leaders promote ideas that might be scientifically grounded (or not) but that definitely serve various interests.

EVERY WORD OF THIS!!!
Like watch the whole thing. It explains EVERYTHING about the 37%
Writing, reading, job stuff, staying warm (I live in Murfreesboro, Tennessee) and out of the weather.
Making people wait is a power move. Obviously, this is not necessary under the circumstances but I don't think Trump is much of a thinker.
What is science? And why do we need it? In this episode of Crash Course Scientific Thinking with host @hankgreen.bsky.social, we explore how cognitive bias shapes the way we think about the world, and how scientific thinking can help us overcome it. youtu.be/d2r7Bk1NlgU
25th Amendment not 2nd. But some Republicans were suggesting we might need to use 2nd Amendments remedies so Obama couldn't take over healthcare.
I support this message :-) Also, I wanted to keep showing up in peoples' feeds :-)
Thanks! Reading it now.
The recent withdrawal from those panels and working groups, mostly the UN projects. One concerned climate change and seemd pretty important. I don't know the name unfortunately.
Odd time and place for a quickie.
I bet the beef industry funds some of this carnivore diet drivel I've seen online as well.
Still focused on job hunting and upskilling/reskilling. But I did start working on a custom app in ChatGTP this week. I'm not going to say what it fits in with the other tools for activists and nonprofit leaders that I've created.
Thanks! I have Tubi, so I might have to check this out over the weekend.
I've had similar messages before, one came to my gmail account versus on FB. I forget the original fake identity but the person messed up and signed one email as JK Rowling. LOL!!
(on FB I've been "contacted" by John Scalzi and Donna Tart)
Jack Smith also stated, in his taped deposition, that he had sufficient evidence to charge Trump for election interference and unlawful retention of classified documents. I think. Maybe someone who has listened to/read mre about it can comment.
I might get back to writing my social science essays this week. This week's essay will be a detailed answer to this Q: Is self-improvement a social problem?
Does that question bring to mind a question you'd want me to answer?
Howdy!
