salami slicing their way into making political revocation and exile acceptable
My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.

Boasberg: OK, so I will hear from you from noon tomorrow—and I will memorialize this in a written order, since my oral orders apparently don't carry much weight

“The [Cass Review’s] insistence on hyper-specificity is a data-fudging technique known as ‘salami slicing’. It’s known to encourage malpractice and is warned against specifically in the Cochrane Handbook — the ‘gold standard’ guide for systematic reviews.”

It's rare the canary hits but this article hits bullseye. An amazing summary of where we are with trans youth medicine, from the bias of Cass to the bans for under 18s and how the UK falsifies studys, great way to on board new people about this

At a conference this morning I and others mentioned this as one of the significant threats to Europe: the risk of Russia trying to undermine collective security commitments by salami-slicing them via "accidental" incursions - or "responses" to false claims about NATO actions.

Am I hallucinating or was “student loan forgiveness for Pell grant recipients who start a small business in economically disadvantaged areas” widely mocked as the pinnacle of niche D policy salami slicing, and now Yggy thinks means-testing for small business lending is a 5-pt swing?

Another "salami slicing" War Powers report, this time w/r/t strikes against Iran on 7 July.
By treating specific rounds of airstrikes as if they are discrete hostilities, the Trump administration is pretending as though the War Powers Resolution's 60-day clock hasn't already been run out.

Osborne deserves a lot more condemnation, for not just doing austerity but doing it so cackhandedly:
1. Not borrowing to invest when borrowing costs were at essentially zero
2. Cutting spending by salami slicing every part of the public sector with no real analysis of where could take it

Late period Osborne: interest rates at zero and 50-80bn of headroom: and his priority was “don’t invest”.

think the problem more broadly is that any text-based social media platform is always going to need some antagonists and if Bluesky remains quite ideologically homogenous, we're going to end up doing some real salami slicing wrt who gets to count as "the antagonist"
Gonna briefly do an AI take: it used to be possible to have interesting discussions about AI here, and it's got progressively less so. You can't just think AI is bad, or overhyped, you've also got to subscribe to a very particular worst-case scenario about *how* it's bad and how bad it is.

5. The Cochrane Handbook warns that splitting comparisons like this can leave too few studies for useful synthesis and recommends broader questions instead. NHS England did the reverse—an approach akin to “salami slicing,” which researchers warn can distort evidence and pollute the literature.
