interesting—this article in the washington ghost claims the reason halloween isn’t scary anymore is because this latest clutch of zombies were all raised with too much screamtime

I suspect a significant portion of this is because people align the top of their phone with the top of their ear rather than the middle of their ear where most of the hearing happens. To be fair, older phones did have some extra space at the top that trained us to do this, but new phones don't.

People are in here telling me their particular phone does not work when they hold it to to their ear. I assure you it does. I'm so sorry to be a stickler on this point but yes it does

Gonna take a moment to shout out the wonderful team at Ohio Policy Evaluation Network.

My wife and I decided we didn't want to have children. We don't know how they'll take it, but we are telling them at dinner...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

This is what data center developers are saying all across Michigan It's condescending and it's going over like a lead balloon.  Michiganders don't need some California billionaires telling us what to do, and we aren't buying their false promises.

Not sure if the news has made it out to the broader world, but we had a (confirmed!) tornado touchdown in Columbus earlier this week along with straight line wind damage from 100mph winds. Some will be without power until this weekend because the power lines are just gone.

It is a sign of the total failure of our constitutional order that, a mere six years after we were all desperately praying for a miraculous scientific breakthrough to end the worst global pandemic in a century, that the President of the United States can do what he did today & face no consequences.

Y’all. There is DRAMA at the Ohio State Fair this year. Apparently, the winning poster from the art competition is a complete AI fabrication (down to the description written to accompany the piece!) And it’s just been revealed the runner up is an AI composition as well!

All of Ohio is still in a level 2-of-5 risk of severe weather as of Sunday afternoon, mainly for Monday night. There are still questions about how exactly things will evolve. Broadly, here are the takeaways: (1/6)

Thinking about a paper idea I tossed around with my office mate in grad school about fatphobia as a fundamental cause of disease. If it constrains access to resources (jobs, partnerships, medical procedures or research) it may fit the bill.
