    Sesame just had the best response to “controversy” about the Refugee Olympic team

    Amid recent anti-refugee sentiments, it’s inspiring to see a team representing the 60 million displaced people throughout the world. See Grover’s full loving speech.

    I love how he let him cry, told him, “We cry as men” and didn’t hit him with the whole, “Big boys don’t cry” mess. That was lovely. 

    Phenomenal. Allowed him to emote, then worked with him to understand the what and the why.

    Wow, This the realest I’ve ever post ????????

    This is beautiful from a martial arts standpoint, a dismantling masculinity standpoint, and a life lesson standpoint.  I wish I were as good as this sensei/shifu.

    Damn. Just damn.

    When I practiced taekwondo as a kid, I never got to learn the significance and symbolism that went into breaking a board. I was told time and time again that there was more to breaking a board than strength, and that we would learn as we progressed through the program, but I dropped out early Bc my dad was the biggest helicopter parent and sucked the fun out of taekwondo, but I’m glad I got to understand the symbolism today.

    And the intersectionality of race, physical strength, and mental strength in this video are just great! This instructor is amazing!

    The love in this.

    BERNIE SANDERS IS OFFICIALLY OUT OF THE RACE HE IS NO LONGER A CANDIDATE – HE DOES NOT WANT YOUR VOTE. HE WANTS US TO VOTE HILLARY TO DETRUMP THE TRUMP – GET YOUR BERNIE OR BUST RHETORIC AWAY. CLEAR IT FROM YOUR MINDS. VOTE HILLARY. GIVE HER ANY NUMBER BOOSTS YOU CAN. I DON’T CARE. USE YOUR FUCKING BRAINS. PLEASE.

    Ok, but also, do people not realize how much bernie accomplished despite not getting the nomination???? In the end, Bernie did what he wanted to do all along. He shook up the DNC despite their plays against him. He got the Democratic party to adopt THE most progressive platform in HISTORY!!! He made people stop and think and adopt and protest and force the Democrats to notice; he changed the game. He’s already made a huge impact. I would’ve loved him to receive the nomination, but we have to face the reality. If you write him in, or don’t even fucking vote, Donald Trump, the farthest thing from what Sanders believes in, will win because you’ll split the democratic vote. So if you’re a die hard Bernie supporter like you say you are, don’t throw away the work he has done. Don’t throw away his success. Vote Clinton.

    Some ways that statistics can lie to you without ever falsifying their data:

    • Reframing a small absolute difference as a large relative difference. For example, it’s technically correct to describe an increase from 0.01% to 0.04% as a 300% increase – but is a +0.03% bump what you’d assume to be the case if you heard the phrase “300% increase”?
    • Using one type of average while implying that you’re talking about a different type of average. For example, if a company has nine employees who make $10/hour and one manager who makes $60/hour, you can take the mean average and state with technical truthfulness that the average wage is $15/hour, even though no actual person makes that.
    • Reporting accuracy in terms of the absence of false negatives without considering the presence of false positives. A test that returns a positive result 95% of the time when what it’s looking for is present may sound reasonably accurate – but what if I told you that it also returns a positive result 30% of the time when what it’s looking for isn’t present?
