The age and regional trends are pretty interesting: > The proportions of transgender and non-binary people were three to seven times higher for Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2006, 0.79%) and millennials (born between 1981 and 1996,

"Learn to code" was a critique of how journalists covered job losses in blue-collar industries, compared to how they covered job losses in journalism. Harassment has become a seriously devalued concept if people replying to a twee

I'm surprised they haven't banned that phrase already like they did with "learn to code".

Weird that they skipped an incredibly obvious option #5: make it easier for first-world people to form families and afford kids.

38 million, with an annual immigration target of over 400k, plus foreign students, temporary visas, etc. New construction simply isn't keeping up with demand. Politicians have tried to solve this from the supply side for decades, but m

Not that Twitter paid GS for the latter opinion, and obviously wants a higher estimated valuation to strengthen their bargaining position? Getting paid by an entity to appraise an asset they own comes with obvious moral hazard.

Are they going to end up with a better deal than what Russia was demanding before the war, or a worse one? Right now it's looking like worse, with Russia demanding territorial concessions in addition to Ukraine staying out of NATO. And

It's a diaper policy. A handful of teachers (metaphorically) shit themselves, so now they all get to wear diapers. And as proof that a handful of crazy teachers exist, you can read testimonials of teachers who are quitting because of t

These are prospective teachers with teaching degrees, correct? It seems perfectly reasonable to test them on pedagogy. Arguably it could be done separately from the math test, but it is material they should know in order to be a teacher. &g

You appear to have selected only questions from the "pedagogy" section of the test, which is only 30% of the questions. Pedagogy is also presumably taught as part of the teaching degree that the test-takers complete. Here is a lin

Just visit any forum or discussion board related to immigration and you will see Canada mentioned as the fallback for people who can't get into the US. In particular, there has been pretty widespread abuse of investor visas, region-spe

Amusingly opening a private window avoids that. I speculate they left that loophole so that people who get into slapfights and block each other can still view each others' tweets.

This should probably have a (2012) added to the title, it's interesting but a bit dated. For example the criticism of Australia not buying F-22s, when the discussion the last few years has been all about F-35s.

The bigger issue is the multitude of exceptions. A ban on foreign buyers except for permanent residents, students, and recreational properties isn't much of a ban at all. Canadian permanent residency is incredibly easy to obtain, and s

Claiming that law is applicable in this case is an absurd stretch. The statute says: > with intent to place another person in reasonable fear for his or her safety, or the safety of the other person's immediate family, by means of a

That's a rather limited view of the role of unions. One of their biggest accomplishments was the establishment of a standard 40 hour work week as the norm. That was mostly about work/life balance, not safety. And that certainly is

One obvious example is symbols. For example, if a Ukrainian photojournalist took a picture of a member of Azov Battalion who had Nazi insignia on their uniform, would that picture fall afoul of the content policy?

Our red line is NATO, same as it always was. And will Russia have greater or lesser capability to wage war in a year or two, with their economy ruined by sanctions? Dependence on international trade today is far greater than anyone could ha

It is undisputed that the British were using the Lusitania to transport war munitions and thus American passengers were effectively human shields. Whether the British allowed the Lusitania to remain at risk or not, they were putting neutral

The pipeline is still sitting there ready to go. I agree that it is highly unlikely to get used at this point, but if hypothetically Ukraine started blowing up pipelines, I don't think Europe would have much of a choice. It would be ha

If they blow up the gas pipelines that transit Ukraine, Europe would be forced to turn on Nord Stream 2, which is 100% complete and just waiting for regulatory approval. Then Ukraine would be cut out entirely. It's in their best intere

We aren't? Obviously the primary goal is to influence Ukrainian morale, but an important secondary objective is to convince Westerners to petition their leaders to send Ukraine weapons, money, and materiel. Part of that involves convin

The "Ghost of Kyiv" flight sim footage being pushed by the Ukrainian MoD was a particularly absurd moment. It will be interesting to see how many of the prominent narratives turn out to be bullshit in a few weeks.

The US assassinated a key Iranian leader, while Iran did property damage to an empty US military base in order to save face. It sure looks like we got the better end of that deal.

I'm sure some people were ignoring the mask mandates. My point though was that it's fundamentally non-serious to claim that is sufficient reason to shut down blocks of businesses for weeks during a non-violent protest. I find the
