      Owning this typo. I’m calling it Fusheruan statistics from now on.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1323805860183724033 …

      Nate Silver my man, your “plausible” hedges won’t save you from cancelation if this thing blows up in your face. Fusheruan statistics is as much on trial here as mediocrity and Trump.

      We have CNN on mute and wife is doing a pottery class on zoom so I have a surreal sound track going on that’s all about pottery techniques and commentary on art styles.

      In my totally scientific gut poll, based on tracking doomscroll visuals of I’m now leaning towards conclusion that it’s gonna be Trump. City-state world here we come. Siege urbanism.

      ** spins up speculative execution thread on 4 more years of Trump ** Analysis starting point for me has always been: one term for Trump could be the madness of a passionate crowd leveraged by electoral college. Two terms is a cold, level-headed, decisive mandate for illiberalism

      The case that he’ll win? Or that it would be a good thing?

          The case to vote for him, that it would be good, or even the least evil. I don't think people are pulling the "be more illiberal" lever, they're pulling some other lever that's locked with the illiberal one. What's that lever?

          Revenge and resentment. It’s not correlation, it’s just illiberalism in a different UX.
