Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Either my statistical model is wrong (which is saying that more drinking and less time outdoors leads to increased odds of a person flourishing) or the world is really messed up. Normally I’d say my model is wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the world is just really messed up 😭

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

I did this a couple semesters ago with him, and no chat gpt was not helpful with replicating those complex figures. It can help with basic stuff but once you’re adding little annotations or things it does not work
