The reason why McConnell is currently ambiguously dead is because KY law was recently amended to state that a vacant senate seat must be filled by a special election, but previously, the duty to fill a vacant senate seat was by appointment of the current governor. The present KY gov is a Democrat, and has the means to challenge the special elections rule in the state supreme court, under the argument that it is unconstitutional to governor's power as outlined in the KY state constitution. So given the risk of a Dem appointee who would become an incumbent to challenge, or a special election race in the middle of the Mamdani Endorsement DemSoc run on congressional seats, McConnell will remain in quantum superposition between life and death until there is no longer a risk of his republican power being challenged.
Which... you know, really is life in the American Fascist Era in a nutshell: a questionably dead or dying racist lich refusing to reliquinsh the ability to make all our lives miserable

it must be so freeing to be as stupid as a ceo. not a single thought echoing through that hollowed out skull. you get paid more money in 20 minutes than a handful of small countries make in a year combined to say the biggest number you can think of and if your company doesnāt hit that number you get to fire all of them
we want to entertain one billion people a day and to achieve that goal weāre going to fire every single game developer weāve ever hired ššš
so much of the "research" on "phones bad" is just statisticians congratulating themselves in a circle
example: I am right now reading an article on "phubbing", which is apparently the term for ignoring people you're with in order to pay attention to your phone. we'll slide right past the claim that this is a normal word people use.
the authors have developed a "phubbing scale" and demonstrated that it has strong correlation with the existing "maladaptive technology use" scale. from this, they conclude the "phubbing scale" is a valid and useful metric.
the "maladaptive technology use" scale, if you go and read that paper, has shown strong correlation with the "problematic smartphone application use" construct.
have you caught the problem yet? nowhere has it been proven that scoring high on any of this is actually bad for you.
imagine someone told you "if the ground is wet it probably rained recently". then you talked to someone about rain and they said "if it rained recently there were probably clouds". yeah okay sounds reasonable. then all three of these people told you their research proves clouds, rain, and wet ground are all signs of demonic possession in giraffes. you'd be like hold up, I think you lost me somewhere
I donāt need a study to know using my phone makes me feel like shit
do different things on your phone then. I'm guessing you haven't written off paper as a technology just because tax forms make you want to cry
It's fair to be skeptical of research into problematic mobile phone usage on the basis that while some studies have shown it to be correlated with anxiety, insomnia, and depression, correlation is not causation and it is difficult to establish a causal relationship when studying this kind of problem. It's also fair to be skeptical of psych research in general due to the problems that are pervasive in the field.
But being not just skeptical but confident that you've debunked all the extant research on the basis that...the dumb statisticians never even bothered to check if this was actually bad for you LMFAO IDIOTS is just plain anti-intellectual though.
> spend 5 years getting a PhD in youth and digital media
> express annoyance with a common failing of academic writing in your field
> get called anti-intellectual
now reading a paper where the researcher:
asked students to volunteer to take a "screen-free challenge" where they didn't use electronic devices in class for a semester
recorded students' views on the challenge at the end of the course, and found that most of the students who participated had positive views while most of the students who didn't participate had negative views
completely ignored that this might just mean "people who thought something was a bad idea didn't do it", and instead concluded "the screen-free challenge leads to more positive views on the learning experience"
I'm getting whiplash from all the looking into the camera I am doing here
Just to clarify, they only recorded the studentsā views at the end of the study?? They didnāt ask the students what they expected at the beginning or ask why they participated??
That seems like such a basic step to mitigate your #3!
the thing you have to understand is that "screens bad" research gets published so easily you can basically make every research mistake ever invented and be fine
Man I miss free the nipple. Its getting warmer and we donāt even have free the nipple anymore
feminism has backslid so hard in recent years people don't even know what free the nipple means anymore
To clarify for those who don't know, "free the nipple" isn't about going braless, it's about going topless
No shirt, no bra, completely bare torso, just like cis men are allowed to
It's about desexualizing breasts and "female presenting nipples" and not being criminalized for our bodies if we want to go topless because it's a million damn degrees out. This was a popular growing movement that was still widely known a decade ago!
And the fact that not wearing a bra is so discouraged and stigmatized that people think the movement was about being able to go braless under your shirt in public rather than about being able to not wear a shirt at all says a lot about how far we've backslid in the past decade
Mitch McConnell will die two weeks from today (8/31/23)

And the fact some people are okay with this.

do yāall remember usernames??? from back when every fuckin website didnāt need your email phone number home address social security number just to join/sign up for something?? when you could make website-specific accounts that werenāt linked to literally anything else??? they tried to boil us like a frog slowly switching to āusername/emailā and then just asking for your email. but I remember. I remember usernames.
Me, before I saw this: old timey dancing in cartoons has to be over-exaggerated for effect
Me, now: old timey dancing in cartoons had to be toned down to promote a sense of realism because they were too good at it
