I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis. “It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.”

My redesign of The Expanse's Rocinante - 1% more realistic: bigger for more water (re-mass, RCS) and chemical rockets for landing. Shouldn't turn your landing pad into cancercrete! Also lasers? And radiators? Someone please make a co-op Expanse ship-to-ship combat game. I beg u.

My redesign of the Rocinante with thicc radiators, PDCs, and pulse lasers? Magnetic Nozzle? Also it's larger because it has more propellant for those big boosts and the new chemical landing rockets.Ship parts list of my Rocinante redesign

One of my favorite forms of architecture is the Japanese-Western Eclectic Architecture which began in the 1850s and expanded throughout Japan through the Meiji Restoration. It heavily influenced how I wish to construct Goblin Hill. These examples by oldsoultw on insta are some of my favorites.

What is Goblin Hill? It is foremost an aesthetic ideal that dictates my artistic practice. In practical terms it is a Dream Residence, a long low rambling house perched on the ridge of a hill somewhere in the Wisconsin driftless. It is an artistic commune, a refuge & fortress. My glittering mirage.

Image: a photograph of a large print distressed by hand. It depicts an architectural drawing of a long low rambling prairie house in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. It's full colorized with a vintage combination of ink and watercolor, and there are labels indicating parts of the house. There are four major areas: The Main House, which contains kitchen and dining areas, bedrooms, and spaces for rest and the displaying of art and art objects. The Studio, a large shared art making space, with accompanying offices for art administration. The Garden Terrace, where food is grown, including a large communal kitchen and pantries and cold rooms for the canning and storing of food. There are apertments for farmers, guests, and resident artists, as well as a Garage and a Mother'a Cottage for the designers family. Goblin's Hill, the grassy hilltop around which the house is built like a languid curled dragon. It is filled with statuary depicting grinning goblins in various states of repose, moss covered and worn. The house also possesses a small solar farm and overlooks a narrow valley through which a stream meanders. In the distance are forests and wind turbines indicating a gently solar-punk style future. The print is stamped and sealed with the coat of arms of Goblin Hill.

wild to be living in a world with live-streamed state executions and legal daylight kidnappings, but every time you turn around some loser is saying, hey man, what if art were completely frictionless? what if we killed even the possibility of human connection??

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

Paul Ifeanyichukwu Gabriel @ @...•2h Can you explain to me like a 5 yrs old ? Nikita Bier @nikitabier • 2h Every video game -- and every piece of software -- will be personalized exactly to your preferences.
