Re: Polling, statistics, and data science
No, I was talking about the author of the article Thad linked, the current lead on 538, the 'editorial director of data analytics'.

Re: Polling, statistics, and data science
"Polls remain as accurate as ever," writes pollster with vested interest in being perceived as contributing something useful.

Re: Ol' shoot 'em in the leg
It's not like we didn't just have four years of Trump's policies on Israel/Palestine where he encouraged Netanyahu at every turn, proposed legitimizing increased Israel annexation, moved the Embassy to contested territory, ended aid to Palestine and funding to UNRWA, both of which only restarted whe...

What I've heard, it's more the entire other way around, with Tucker just nodded along to Putin talking for an hour.

At least not without an actual conviction they can point to and say their hands are tied, really.

Re: Adventures of the Longest Muskrat
The linked article briefly mentions it, but there was a point a bit back where he said he'd fund legal action for anyone* who gets fired for posting on Twitter, and this is him nominally putting up on that.

Not a real tweet, though. The actual post was much whinier.

Re: Twitter Dee & Twitter Dumb
I wonder how comparable that is in the desperately cash hungry Musk era. For all we know, $781 now might pay for the same amount of ad impressions as $1.77M did last year.

Re: The Winter Up There Must Give People Brain Freeze
Modi's government has been pretty actively censoring news in and out of India for a while now, particularly regarding 'undesirables' like Sikh.

Re: Hollywood Strike
I'm not clear on how Drew Barrymore returning to her show without her writers is different from when Leno, Conan, Stewart, and Colbert did it during the last WGA strike. They're all still in the WGA but she's getting threatened with a lifetime ban. Is it that she's going to be performing scripted m...

Re: GOP Will Shit Itself
Even despite the short-term abortion issue, it seemed like a big enough minority of the GOP went "Wait, we're shooting ourselves in the foot and losing access to 'easy' amendments of our own if we do this."

I don't think any of the breakages were intentional, he just tried to spin institutional failures as business innovations.

Re: Bogus, batshit, banal, bizarre, or bicubic: Assorted News
The only part of the resulting situation that upsets me is that any effort was made by governmental agencies to save them from their own willful recklessness. This is actually one thing I don't mind. The laws of mutual obligation & assistance at sea are critical things in a vast, trackless, hos...

From what I've read, jury instructions were that the relevant legal definition of "rape" in their jurisdiction is "forcibly put a penis into a vagina without permission".

Re: Ol' shoot 'em in the leg
The critical analyses of the legalese I've seen say that's willfully-selective headline manipulation and the actual text is bringing it in line with other Title IX protections along the lines of "You can ban a trans athlete IF you can somehow prove there's no other conceivable way to accommodat...

If they hadn't doubled down and gone full Streissand mode, it would've probably just blown over with a few people upset and most people not caring all that much.

And it would mean that competent leadership could play Prisoner's Dilemma with them, if they only need Manchin OR Sinema to pass something.
