Lmfao Jesus Christ.....this is so delicious, it simply MUST be fattening 😂😈

Look for choices that still work when the future surprises you.⁣

Economists call that robustness.⁣

Seems useful for picking members for Trump’s AI commission.

Reviewer: there are too many robustness checks
Also reviewer: Here are the robustness checks you need to add

Gerrymander robustness update.
This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.

But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

Great piece on the absurdity of brute force multiverse analyses.

i suggest the robustness of the n64’s blast corps ranking system

That must hurt. The part where they talk about two different models as though it's supposed to be somehow reassuring is just an extra kick in the teeth: "We read both tea leaves AND entrails for robustness".

This. Today's ruling is primarily a multidimensional failure of the judicial branch, not really its robustness in the face of authoritarianism. This should never have been a SCOTUS case in the first place, & it shouldn't have taken over a year to get here.
1/ Okay, now I’m mad.

Any Supreme Court in our nation’s history before John Roberts would have upheld the lower courts’ injunctions blocking Trump’s tariffs & not issued a stay that let Trump wreck the economy and break the law for over a year.

Marina Purkiss calls out Reform UK's Makerfield candidate Robert Kenyon for his comments on social

The fact that such remarks do not automatically disqualify individuals from standing as parliamentary candidates raises serious questions about the robustness of safeguards within British democracy

Our 5 on 5 was excellent. We carried the pace. We were on top of them. We showed robustness. One can’t have robustness without pace - MSL

Yes. This is the conclusion we reach in this discussion. The basic point we make is that there is a diversity and robustness to American culture that Trump/MAGA cannot steamroll.
Trump never had a chance to "win the culture" because his entire brand was hatred of the culture. You can't win the thing you hate, you can only try to bully it into submission, which is always a losing battle.
The real story with Trump's 250 gala fiasco is his/MAGA's growing toxicity in the culture. Trump had a chance in Nov 2024 to win the culture. But he and MAGA pissed it away because they wanted race war instead.

On the pod, @alexshephard.bsky.social is great on this:

"Lack of robustness in evidence"

Motherfucker he filmed himself using a knife to slash open a boat with an RNLI worker on it while yelling that he was doing it within English waters, and then putnit on YouTube. What the fuck are you talking about?
Except we all know that at the moment that isn’t going to happen. One because of a lack of robustness in evidence to secure prosecution and secondly because of political influence that persists in prosecution decisions, even if there was a reasonable case.

Anything else helps him fundraise more

The selection process should index a lot less on ambition and a lot more on psychological robustness.

“I’ll just run this last robustness check and then the paper will be finished...”

Life is short. Make sure you spend as much time as possible performing robustness checks.

I did that because I certainly couldn’t argue their disciplinary definitions about institutional robustness. That’s their domain. But I wondered at using Trump and not the process that made him to judge institutional efficacy. It seems clear that maybe they should have been judging Roberts’ efficacy

This is pretty ridiculous. If you have leaks at every conference, you don't have only leaks, you have a codebase lacking robustness.
