It's not the same. The one you point to looks potentially like a predatory journal (the editor is from the National Dairy Institute of India.)
The 2020 paper I'm referring to was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, one of the most prestigious general interest scientific journals in the entire world.
What really grinds my gears about this is that infant weight is one of the most obvious confounders to check for. It's literally one of the first biomarkers that gets measured after birth. Any first year graduate student could have told you that you need to include that in your regression.
How did it make it past peer review?
To be fair, I only found out about this today but the story is months old. I don't know what the current status is. But I know it took years for Francesca Geno to be fired from Harvard for manipulating research data
I genuinely feel bad for him. Based on the behavior of Hunter Biden and Jill Biden, he seems like an old man suffering from dementia, surrounded by sharks who don't really care about him and are just trying to use him.
I pray that more and more people find their way back to God, the ultimate source of truth and our only hope for this life and for eternity.
important to distinguish between two topics of homelessness: temporary and chronic
Temporary homeless are usually people who got kicked out due to eviction or domestic violence. They're usually back on their feet quickly and just need a temporary place to stay and some support through the hard time.
Chronic homeless are the people who are homeless all the time and never/rarely can stay housed. This is usually where the drug abuse / mental health problems are most prevalent.
Temporary homeless account for the greater share of the homeless people. Chronic homeless account for a greater share of the days people spend in homelessness. Most people would probably say that "chronic homeless" is the problem that needs addressing, but the issue is that most of the policy and metrics don't distinguish between the two.
Ok, I watched a video by someone I trust. The timeline is that Kimmel made his comments after it became known that the shooter had leftwing ideology. That being said, ABC didn't cancel Kimmel until after the FCC chair made threatening comments. Also, Nextar needs government approval for a merger, which may also have motivated the canceling.
Emily Jashinsky breaks down ABC’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel’s show after his claim that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was aligned with MAGA. She stresses that Kimmel taped his remarks after investigators had already confirmed the suspect’s radical leftist ties, making his comments knowingly reckless. Emily outlines the pressure campaign from the FCC Chair, and public, while Nexstar—seeking government approval for a $6.2 billion merger—pulled Kimmel’s show from local airwaves. She notes accusations of government intimidation but also takes into account market forces and basic ethics. Emily notes a Megyn Kelly post pointing out that ABC fired Chris Harrison for saying maybe we should judge a Bachelor contestant’s attendance (years earlier) at an antebellum party by what was considered offensive at the time. Emily frames this all as a “rebalancing” of media power.
DVD menus can be slide shows right? Why not have a slide show of all the past SNL episodes' thumbnails?
Like these:
and it would cycle through them
Fair. I don't know the context of when he said what he did and what information would have been known.
Haha Kimmel is kind of a jerk (and markets himself as a jerk) so I don't mind celebrating his show getting canceled.
On the other hand, when Pam Bondi said she was gonna go after private businesses for speech, most regulars here on SN were pretty against that: #1224315
Well what you are observing is that most of the people who demand free speech really just want freedom to say what they support, but would happily censor things they don't support.
In this particular case, though, I am not really surprised ABC canceled Kimmel, since he said something that will (most likely) be proven to be an outright falsehood, it wasn't a matter of opinion. Moreover, I bet Kimmel was losing tons of money for them too.
