. Comme l’a soutenu Braunstein, le wokisme est une véritable religion sectaire absurde. Il est évident qu’il est en train de construire un nouveau totalitarisme de la pensée quasi-religieuse. Et c’est certainement une attaque farouche contre la science et contre la vérité. Mais il est aussi un mouvement sociopolitique qui a gagné en popularité ces […]

People sometimes speak as if random variables “behave” in a certain way, as if they have a life of their own. Thus “X is normally distributed”, “W follows a gamma”, “The underlying distribution behind y is binomial”, and so on. To behave is to act, to be caused, to react. Somehow, it is thought, these […]

The presence of US troops in Somalia helps the Islamist insurgency Al Shabaab recruit, exacerbating the very violence they claim to be fighting. But the House has voted down a resolution to withdraw. On April 27, the House voted 101-321 against Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz’s resolution to remove all US troops from Somalia, even as all signs point to escalation in the fight with Al-Shabaab. AFRICOM, the US Africa Command, and Somalia’s president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, are both asking for […]

Charlie Sykes had a good column today about the astonishing fact that the GOP front runner is on trail for rape and there is a legion of other women who have credibly accused him of assault: By the latest count, 26 (!) women have accused Trump of sexual assault or misconduct. Here’s the full list. […] Now we hear that Trump plans to skip the Carroll trial, passing up a chance to testify, or to deny the charges under oath. Let’s try to put this into some context: It is hard impossible to imagine that someone with more than two dozen accusations of sexual assault would be able to survive in any other realm of American society: business, entertainment, sports, the military, even politics. We save our lowest standards for the presidency. As we now know, the charges of assault — and rape — are not disqualifying for the GOP; since the release of the Access Hollywood tape, the charges have barely been a factor. Now, they hardly even register. In the right-wing media, the women have been thoroughly memory-holed. Philip Bump notes: Seven times. But, to be fair, it’s not just Fox News.
