New paper out now 🥳 When psychologists discuss generalisability, they often refer to vague notions of representativeness. We provide an accessible intro to the total survey error framework as a tool to reason about this more rigorously. w @taymalsalti.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci >

I don't begrudge people who think calling on Israel to "tackle" or "punish" or "rein in" settlers is a good idea but the very framing of it really just demonstrates how low-info everyone is about Israel

Israel bombed tents in Gaza today, killed at least 30 people including children, and the death toll is likely to rise www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

BREAKING: Israel Killed Al Jazeera Journalist Anas Al-Sharif

Journalists in Gaza continue to be murdered in record numbers, while Western media outlets and reporters show little or no outrage.

Trump Tower Damascus? Syria seeks to charm US president for sanctions relief

A Trump Tower in Damascus, a detente with Israel and U.S. access to Syria's oil and gas are part of Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa's strategic pitch to try to get face time with U.S. President Donald Trump during his trip to the Middle East, according to several sources familiar with the push to woo Washington.
