Children Of The Revolution
“In America,” wrote the Our Revolution team in a mass e-mail this morning, “we often make the mistake of overvaluing the importance of individual leaders and undervaluing the impact of grassroots movements. One of the most destructive consequences of this tendency can be seen in the dangerously naive comments of out-of-touch politicians and pundits who think the underlying problems that led to the election of Donald Trump will magically disappear if we are able to simply find the best candidate to beat him next November. At Our Revolution, we know that simply defeating Trump is no... more »

Iraq Finally Has A Defense Interior Justice Ministers
New Def Min Shawani (Al Mirbad) Prime Minister Adel Mahdi took office on October 25, 2018 with an incomplete cabinet. That included no Defense, Interior and Justice ministers. This time it was even more difficult for parliament to fill these positions because Mahdi had no list behind him for support. Instead he was selected by a compromise between Moqtada al-Sadr and Hadi Amiri who led the two main winning lists in the election. Sadr has become increasingly critical of the PM giving him a ten day ultimatum to fill the empty spots in his government. After nine months, lawmakers final... more »

He was cheated out of a popular vote victory, no matter what the evidence indicates. Sometimes Trump’s self-serving deceptions are hard for followers to keep straight.

Food Is Too Sweet, Finds Big Data Analysis Of 400,000 Reviews
Throughout human history, humans have artificially selected food. The sweeter, the better. When agriculture came into being, such genetic engineering became commonplace. A banana we eat today has nothing in common with one of a few hundred years ago. At one time we couldn't consume corn at all. That evolutionary legacy, we once didn't have confidence when our next meal might be, is still evident. Sweet foods sell well and science has made them affordable; so affordable we have the opposite of the starvation problem poor people faced in the past. read more

Math Explains Why the Democrats May Have Trouble Picking a Candidate
*Alexander Strang, Peter Thomas* *Politics, * With so many candidates running for the White House, who will come out on top? With 24 declared candidates for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination (and counting), many Americans are likely wondering how the party will ultimately make up its mind and settle on the best candidate. As mathematicians, we wondered whether there might not even be a best candidate. In fact, this is an established mathematical paradox. The more candidates there are, the greater the chance there is no clear favorite. Here’s what we mean. Suppose t...more »

Day 2 on the road: onward to Indianapolis
Following our exhausting day's drive yesterday, Miss D. and I took extra time to rest this morning, rather than make an early start. That was no problem, because our destination, Indianapolis, was less than four hours by road from St. Louis. We hit the road by about 10 a.m., and got in at about 3 p.m. local time (changing from Central to Eastern time zones in the process, thus gaining an hour). The roads through Illinois and Indiana were not very impressive. I don't know whether it's the more extreme climate in the north central USA, or a different way of doing things, or just p... more »
