Overnight Open Thread (8-30-2015)The Hard Left hates to hear this, but here goes: the American populace has traditionally been fairly indifferent to whether or not there are a host of rich people guzzling champagne and wolfing down caviar, provided that said populace is able to have a beer and a T-bone without too much fuss and bother. Our definition of 'poor' would make most historical eras' eyes bug out; and, again contrary to the Left's beliefs on the subject, that really does matter when it comes time for social unrest. There is a real, practical difference between being dissatisfied, and being no-fooling hungry. And all the slogans in the world won't change that. People come here thinking of this as the center of innovation and entrepreneurship, and they see a street scene that looks like something out of a Third World country. Because he can. This dumb. For those playing along at home the logo shown is from the National Recovery Administration, one the New Deal programs. Jonathon Last: How Journalism Gets Done at Vox They're not just inaccurate and careless and beholden to an ideological agenda - they also stiff their writers. In this case Tannsjo wrote an article - at Vox's request - pointing out that on-demand abortion has some negative consequences. No, the really bad part is that Tannsjo hadn't just submitted a piece on spec. Vox went to him and commissioned the piece. And then, when they didn't like it, they did . . . nothing. They just sat on it. The MH370 Mystery Gets a Little Weirder It's been a month since a flaperon from a Boeing 777 was found a La Réunion beach and investigators still can't say definitively whether it came from MH370 or how it got to the island. What was holding things up, it turned out, was that the ID plate that should have been attached to the inboard edge of the flaperon was missing. And that was not the only problem. According to the New York Times, Boeing and the National Transportation Safety Board found that the object did not match Malaysia Airlines' maintenance records.
Hunter Biden Framed for Conspiring to Philander by Fiendishly Clever Russian Agents It just had to be those damn Ruskies that opened a fake account on Ashley Madison inhis name he claims. (thanks to JTT) Charges dropped against Florida man who played Star Spangled Banner on 4th of July Good thing he didn't take the offered plea deal and asked for a jury trial. Are the Results of Well Known Psychology Studies Actually Reproducible? Well that's what the Reproducibility Project set out to find out. And many but not all are - albeit often with much weaker correlations than initially reported. Two important things have come out of the Reproducibility Project. The first is that psychologist, project leader and now experienced cat-herder Brian Nosek deserves some sort of medal, and his 270-odd collaborators should be given shoulder massages by grateful colleagues. The New Disability: Sensitivity to Electromagnetic Fields A French woman has won a disability grant after telling a court she suffers from an allergy to electromagnetic radiation from gadgets. Meanwhile a student at a boarding school is suing the school over their WiFi network claiming it has given him EHS. On the Scale of Japanese Weirdness This Commercial Rates a Solid 7.5 The explanation (of sorts) is here. 20 Years Later - A Look Back at 1995 Weekly Commenter Standings Top 10 commenters: Top 10 sockpuppeteers: The group.
