Just the social facts, ma'am is a personal blog at justthesocialfacts.blogspot.com about culture and politics. Since 2018, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-30, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a thread titled 'No, there is no epidemic of loneliness', so HN readers use it to argue against claims of a loneliness epidemic. The blog's posts are about social facts and research.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
There's an extreme bit of ranting about Brooks here (not a fan at all but it's a bit much.) A better source is the blogpost he quotes[0]. Unless the topic is Brooks specifically. [0] http://justthesocialfacts.blogspot.com/2018/04/all-lonely-pe...
