    You get to cast the deciding vote in the Democratic party primary. There are only two candidates left. Do you vote for

    (And of course we shouldn't let the grotesque awfulness of his anti freedom-of-movement normative position distract us from the sheer head-in-the-sand stupidity of his empirical position--if we don't allow new housing to be built, rich people will stop coming here.)

    "Let's celebrate black history month by rehabilitating the notion that new populations should be banned from moving places if current residents want to ban them. No, I haven't heard of the great migration, why do you ask?"

    Setting aside the questions of prosecution and what a proper, fitting punishment should be, how broken are we as a society that someone can conduct themselves like this guy and still be allowed to drive?

    Against my better judgement I looked at the "Greyhound" trending tweets. Lots of tweets about not riding anymore b/c it's "too dangerous." Someone good at math should figure out how many Greyhound riders would need to be shot daily for it to be as dangerous to ride as a car.

    It's probably true, given KC's unusually explosive offense, that standard models underestimated their changes when they were down. It nonetheless remains true that people trying to dunk on Silver for this are just showing the world they don't understand probability.

    SF is almost certainly drawing dead, but "over" wagerers have renewed hope!

    I know it’s outlandish, but humor me for a moment: what if momentum wasn’t real? No I know, obviously everyone in New York is waiting to see how Alabama votes, but what if they weren’t? Wouldn’t focusing on two of the smallest states seem kinda silly?

    My level of visceral contempt for "The Masked Singer" is completely unreasonable and out of proportion; it's probably one of the least objectionable reality shows going. Good natured, positive, etc.

    I'm curious: What fraction of my followers know, without further context, what this tweet is about? (The general subject, not the specific identity of the subtweeted).

    Think about how people would react to an ad for a gun manufacturer that depicted people shooting target practice in Times Square, with a fine print "don't do this" disclaimer, and ask why we don't react similarly to the equivalent for car ads.

    If ‘Kerry was overheard mulling a run’ doesn’t set your bullshit detector off you should really get it serviced.

    The attached article here is good and worth reading, but it doesn't answer my question of how this status quo came to be in Romania/Bulgaria/Poland. Were people just given titles to the apartments they lived in after the fall of Communism?

    One of the difficult challenges of following SF politics from afar is figuring out who is actually gullible enough to believe "progressive" politicians when they say they support new housing as long as it's affordable, and who is in on the con and just playing along.

    Spent much of my Sunday afternoon cleaning my office desk, which resulted in the unexpected and fortuitous recovery of two lost books I thought were surely gone forever.

    The 'Enlightenment Now' podcast with Rousseau, Diderot, and Voltaire would have been a big hit, until Voltaire escalated a twitter beef by outing Rousseau for abandoning his children and it all fell apart.

    My Iowa-eve prediction is the same one I make every four years: everyone is overestimating the significance of Iowa. *Especially* if polls are right and the top 4 are bunched between 15-23%, no one is dropping out, and supporters aren't shifting much in response to the results.
