- The estimated red shift in New York City in this election is absolutely amazing. Manhattan +4.5 Brooklyn +6 Staten Island +8 Queens +10.5 Bronx +11.5
- The collapse of births and fertility (births per 1000 women age 15-49) in Poland since 2017 is truly stunning (2025 based on 2 months data). No argument about housing or car seats or daycare can explain this.
- I'm beginning to think that Harris hopes to create an underclass of young single men who spend their days stoned and watching porn. What she plans on doing with this underclass is anyone's guess.Porn, pot, and abortion. What have we become as a nation!
- Again, DEI is best understood as a jobs program for the surplus members of the professional class.👀 UC Berkeley said in a 2023 job ad that its Division of Equity & Inclusion has a budget of $36 million and 1,087 full and part time workers.
- Big red shift in the largest counties in Northern Virginia: Prince William +9.3 Loudon +9.0 Fairfax ~+7
- Replying to @darelmassPoland has experienced a 40% decline in fertility over just 8 years. Amazing.
- I taught both Plato & Confucius last week. Too bad they'll be totally passé in 20 years.Yuval Noah Harari: we have no idea what to teach young people that will still be relevant in 20 years
00:00 - John Bolton opposing @JDVance1 is one of the best Vance endorsements I can imagine.
- Replying to @darelmassPolish women work A LOT. I suspect this plays an important role in undermining Polish fertility. About 77% of all Polish women work 35+ hours per week. In Sweden--famed for its "universal breadwinner" family model--it's about 66%. And Sweden has tons of daycare. Poland, not.
- 57% of NYC college grads are supporting Mamdani compared to just 28% of non-college grads. Socialism is a professional class political identity.
- Replying to @emeriticusIf January 6 is your #1 issue, there is nothing Vance could say or do to change your mind. That guy was hardly an undecided voter.
- Replying to @JonathanACBrown and @EliLakeAs a full professor myself, I can say with confidence (believe me, I'm a full professor) that I have met more than one full professor who holds very strong opinions based on very low information.
