When you’re in the majority
You get to set the priority:
Democrats weep
But then they sleep
With their Pressties in the sorority.
Mean, Median, Mode
I’m certainly no math major. Or math student. Or math tutor. Sorry, Shelley.
A lot of people here seem to be respectably good at math, though. That’s probably you.
I can at least read, however, and once long ago I read a review of a book called “How To Lie With Statistics.”
It was a good summary. The book seemed like it would be jam-packed with numbers, so I didn’t buy it. But now I know that the three things in the title are all different, but the media will always — ALWAYS — pick the one that bolsters their case, and then disingenuously use the word “the average” in their article, purposely to confuse people.
I hate that as an English major!
And you should be offended at that even more than I am, if you’re a STEM major.
Oh, you probably already are offended, I just didn’t hear you because I was thinking things about Shelley.
.
Another one is percentages. I know they also play games with “an X percent increase” versus “X percent of” something, because math people recognize the difference, but non-math people go into a coma.
To us, “You’ll get a 110% increase from your investment” sounds exactly like “You’ll get 110% of your investment. 110%!”
That’s why NFL players and English majors go broke.

Thank God I went to a school that taught me there was a difference between “interest” and “compound interest,” or I would be broke.

Plastic Shards May Be Increasing In Human Brains
Dallas Expess | 2-10-25 | Jesse OberoiResearchers examined cognitively normal human brain samples gathered at autopsy in early 2024 and found that tiny plastic shards were higher than just eight years earlier. The cadaver brains contained up to 30 times more microplastics than kidneys and liver, roughly equivalent to the amount found in an entire plastic spoon.

Paul Simon: Concert for IMAO
🎵
IMAO’s just a poor boy
Like a sandwich, only poorer
And it squanders all its condiments
Trying to think of funny puns to make from “condiments”. . . Oh, the horror.
All tries at jests
Show a man’s here when he wants to hear
How to best regard the breasts.
Mmm mm mmm mmm mm mm mm mmm mm mmm mm…
🎵
Asking only Walrus’s wages
I came looking for a job
But I found no coffers —
Just a cosmos of the comments of certain attitudes.
I do declare!
There were times when I was so bemused
I took some Southern Comfort then and there
Mmm mm mmm mmm mm mm mm mmm mm mmm mm…
🎵

Straight Line of the Day: I Haven’t Asked You Guys Yet To Demonstrate Who Can Do a Trump Impersonation. Seems Like It’s About Time.
This is going to be a contest — a big, beautiful contest. And the experts say it’s going to be the best. Some really smart guys say that. The best they’ve ever seen — and you know, these guys are from the cream of the crop. But we’ll see. We’ll see. But that’s what they’re saying — and I don’t know if you know this, but a lot of people are looking on, some of them not so nice; Dull Oppo — not so nice, I don’t think he’ll even show up. I don’t know. That’s what they’re telling me.
