  • I donno, anybody remember Obama? Trudeau?

    Keep this guy accountable and call out the bullshit.

    The last party set the bar so low it’s painted on the floor, so just saying the right things feels like significant progress regardless of if actual actions are taken.

    Reform UK is waiting in the wings for the jaded masses if Labour doesn’t follow through, and the jaded masses don’t understand that voting for the wolf to punish the fox is a dumb thing for rabbits to do.

    As your bard said, words pay no debts, give deeds.












  • hard to find evidince

    This is, like, an undergrad project.

    1. work with the depressed grad student who is good at stats to determine the parameters of your experiment at the outset and calculate the number of subjects and stimuli for statistical power; pay in marking or research help.

    2. get an appropriate number of headshots from undergrad males for stimuli, give them intro psyc course credit for participating.

    3. work with mid-degree graphic design students to give all headshots 3 levels of chins (low, normal, emphasized), ensuring none are comical; the the psyc grad student signs off on the work as portfolio credit

    4. have an appropriate number of undergrad cis-het women subjects rate a your lineup for attractiveness; intro psyc course credit for participation

    5. analyze the results to see if low chin is selected less than normal or emphasized.

    6. submit your research paper and results; get your 4th year class capstone. Grad student takes your work and adds it to their dissertation, you get a footnote.

    I’m sure this has been done…


  • My comrad in crisis, we can’t even keep this planet habitable, or build/select builders for reliable space vehicles after dropping billions of dollars on development and deployment. What makes you think we can even come close to the level of cooperation and competence needed to establish and maintain human habitation on such a hostile world?

    Let’s see if we can’t ensure continued habitation on Earth first. Then, maybe, we might have a chance on some other sphere?
