Articles Mentioning Benford’s Law Are Reportedly Banned on Facebook

Benford’s Law is a principle of statistics relating to the frequency with which various digits occur in random samples. It has been used in accounting as a means of detecting fraudulent bookkeeping, because people will enter fake numbers in a non-random pattern.

68 Shots: ‘That’s All the Bullets We Had, or We Would Have Shot Him More’

Angilo Freeland, a/k/a “Dread,” was a native of the Caribbean island of Antigua, and how he ended up in Florida is not entirely clear.

Rule 5 Sunday: Carla Gugino

— compiled by Wombat-socho Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

by Smitty First and foremost: #StopTheSteal. We do not deserve to have the Left piss down our back and tell us it’s raining. In the alternative case, we’re in better shape than 2008. The leadership vacuum that crippled the Tea Parties is filled by Trump. A fully weaponized, free range Trump is going to destroy […]
