Also: controlling the tech bros is a top three issue identified by Democratic voters. Schumer's entire family works for the tech bros.

Border collies don't bite or bark to herd sheep. They lock eyes and crouch like a wolf stalking prey, controlling an entire flock with pure psychological pressure.

The fact that Nvidia's scrambling to separate him from his controlling shares means they KNOW she's got him dead to rights...

We studied the effect of race on obesity by controlling for weight
First, a minor caveat - my understanding is that Alito argued that when you are looking at voting patterns by race you should control for partisan preferences (not you should control for race itself).

Very good essay by @jamellebouie.net - but he's too generous in his assessment of Alito's argument.

It's an F argument, not a C- one.

Alito's argument relies on controlling for an endogenous variable.

Worth noting that the expectation was that Musk controlling the Twitter algorithm, Zuckerberg controlling the Meta algorithm, and Ellison buying control of the TikTok algorithm made them basically believe they had a public opinion lever they could pull at any time, and it didn’t fucking work.
Imagine getting too close to a short-term political ally because you struggle to anticipate future consequences

🎁Rather than controlling each drone individually, an operator can manage the entire group at once, reducing the need for constant manual flight supervision.

If you're wondering why the whole conservative movement is in agreement on controlling higher education and limiting access to it as much as possible.
Scott Colom will be Mississippi’s first Black senator since Reconstruction.

He won by turning out Black voters while winning 42% of white college graduates.

Unless Democrats are willing to affect systemic change and ban corporations from controlling politicians, nothing will improve.

This is a good point.

I really don't understand what non-stats folk think "controlling" is. Lots of the time it just seems to mean ✨Magic✨.
If you don't understand stats even a little bit then what you take away from listening to people argue about it is that talking about controlling for things seems to make opponents concede points (it's even true), so you apply it as needed. There's not usually anything more complicated going on.

Gender wage gap! (Controlling for occupational choice - an outcome of discrimination)

Causes of permitting delays! (Controlling more mechanisms by which NEPA delays construction)

If the Democrats’ plan was they want to control the Hegseth impeachment in January someone might want to get to a microphone and say that. Otherwise the narrative congeals quickly into the soon-to-be controlling party sees no particular urgency to boot him.
