Nice to hear good news. It’s not great news, but it’s good news.
I hope the next time we get this report, the gap is either very tiny, or, hopefully, gone altogether. Wage disparities- be it racial, gender-based, or anything-based - are vile and wrong.
Yeah but there is a depressing way in which the gap reduced… every race is getting screwed equally. We really need to fight the class war. Race is a distraction created by capitalists to distract the common folk.

This article isn’t clear about what Norton actually did. Another article has more information.
Still, Hixon said, Norton put the district in a legally difficult spot by falsely attesting her child was born female on her state athletic eligibility form. The Florida athletic association fined Monarch $16,500 for violating the act, put the school on probation, and the district could be sued under the act if another student believes she was kept off the volleyball team and lost scholarship opportunities because of Norton’s daughter.
As far as I can tell, Norton didn’t break the law since the law only restricts public schools, not students or their parents. What isn’t clear to me is why the school was punished, since the law states
(d) For purposes of this section, a statement of a student’s biological sex on the student’s official birth certificate is considered to have correctly stated the student’s biological sex at birth if the statement was filed at or near the time of the student’s birth.
The school’s official policy didn’t violate the law, but I suppose that the school was punished anyway because it is responsible for the actions of its employees and as an employee, Norton had a responsibility to report rule violations. The fact that the student violating the rule was her own child was not directly relevant.
You're not wrong. I do my best every day to assess information as it stands, and I am definitely skeptical of something I see reported in only one place. If it seems like it could be legitimate, I want to see additional and extensive reporting on it from multiple journalistic outlets.
I care very much about the alignment of what I believe and reality. I have watched a close friend devolve into conspiratorial thought (not politically, thankfully), come out of it, and then fall down again. I've been in that same kind of mental decline in my own past, but medication and conscious effort go a long way. It's still work, every day, but it's the kind of work I am happy to do.
A few cm to the right and he’d had hit his fucking skull. No way is he ever going to sign off on something so risky to his life. He’s a fucking coward, he wouldn’t stand still to get shot at.
I hate trump but i hate the conspiracy as well. You can’t expect me to believe someone training a 20yo to accurately aim a shot that glance past trump right ear, and then have him killed on the spot. that’s some elite sniper shit the american would love to hire into their rank and send off to invade other country.
This is relevant to my interests. Simultaneous infections can be a great opportunity for dangerous hybrids. I have over 30 chickens, ducks and geese. Any time I see a wild bird in the yard get a little nervous because H5N1 is serious. It’s nearly 100% fatal for birds. And 50% for humans.
I’d like to remind everyone that 8 years ago, the polls showed Hillary was going to trounce Trump pretty handedly. There was tons of discussion after the election about how the polls could be so wrong.
I think Fivethityeight’s explanation went something like…
If a candidate is only polling 40% to their opponents’s 60%, and you were to run the election 10 times with a different sampling of voters each time, it doesn’t mean that the candidate will lose by 60% every time. It means they’re going to win four times out of ten.
Don’t let polls lull you into either complacency or despair. The only thing polls are really good for is giving pundits something to talk about in the 24 hour news cycle. Polls don’t decide the election. Only actual votes on actual ballots that are actually submitted in time decide the election.
Very very true, I put time and money into Bernie Sanders second bid, the polling made it look like he was going to win the primary in a devistating landslide. It never materialized, his base, if they ever were serious weren’t serious enough to actually make it to a polling place on the day of. Very disappointing. Never think the polling will match the voting, they can be very different animals.
And this messaging is a large part of what led to low democrat turnout when Hillary was running for office. Her early campaign had basically been “lol don’t worry about this, he’s an idiot who doesn’t gave a chance of winning.” It wasn’t until about a month before the actual election that someone in her campaign team realized this would lull voters into a false sense of security. Suddenly, their entire tone changed from “he has no chance of winning” to “oh for fucks sake please go vote”. But it was too little, too late. Democrat voters stayed home, and handed the win to Trump.
