This seems to be the reason that we don't hear about oil spills as much anymore, ships got safer. Plus now we've passed peak oil, so the danger should hopefully only go down.
I think the upshot here is you need to read the definition of graphs carefully, which seems like it must be pretty hard. He also points out that truncated axes are actually fine, especially in comparison.
Sounds like the 'end of affirmative action' supreme court decision has a significant loophole. Long thread about the Justices arguments among themselves. Also, it seems like it's actually been illegal for Affirmative Action to be a reparative program since the Bakke case, they've only been allowed to be diversity programs for a while now. If we want reparations, we need to actually do them directly. Also, here's the impact of ending Affirmative Action at UCLA 20 years ago (relatively small, and smaller over time)
This graph is pretty wild to me, I guess it goes to show that it's just very cheap to start a podcast. But I wonder what this kind of chart looks like for TV shows, the top show is gonna be lower right? Monday Night football gets 18 million viewers, Yellowstone gets 11 million, they're #1 and #2. There are 258 Million US Adults. So those represent 6% and 4%.
My thinking on this is that two adults at this household don't actually talk to each other about local political objectives. But if one person put both those up... boy, I don't know.
