I don't recall Alan Alda but Toby wouldn't surprise me. I know I rocked Auntie Nancy for a Lil while after Obamacare passed

yeah that's the blog that dude w/ the mini cannon used to write for.

Meadows, Giuliani and other Trump allies charged in Arizona 2020 election probe https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/04/24/arizona-2020-election-charges-meadows-giuliani-ellis/

I think so. I remember he'd fight like a logic professor

Another dude that I miss that really used to bring the heat was billms I remember some pretty good fights w/ him and Oblong

Those guys were awesome. I fought hard core with them but theu brought heat, it was good fighting. Omf made me a moderator on a board he started and that was as awesome as you'd predict

Or if guns are a right why do I only get one if I have enough money to buy it?

I recall his argument against health care as a right was that would force people to have to be doctors and I never understood how that same logic didn't force people to be gun makers

I don't want to speak for him and I'll apologize again if necessary but I recall his argument was basically you don't have a right to vote if there's no election going on

Lol gateway pundit is bankrupt

Shabba would argue about not having a right to vote too. My apologies to him if I'm misremembering

Chas I saw that they added a folder to the site for evidence and it had those pdfs in it but I hadn't looked yet. Those are hilarious. I love how Mr Everyone else is fake news literally had his own fake news generator

I also wonder what it was like when you're trying to filter bad polls out, or weigh them very low, and there's bad actors out there intentionally conducting bad polls and others can try to battle you with that fake crap. That's not to mention that clearly even good faith pollsters are really struggling with sampling these days.

Also, I think he's wise to not stake his career on averaging polls given the time tested principle of GIGO.

I think Nate Silver either could not or chose not to evolve with the field of data analysis. He gained prominence in a time period when data science was in it's infancy and by data science I mean the application of AI to data analysis which had been the industry standard before then. Now, there are free Python libraries that can automatically produce thousands and thousands of models like Nate made, test them all, rank them, add remove/remove all sorts of variables, automatically test which regression models best fit the data (poisson, LSS, etc) all automatically. Plus why wouldn't anyone just chose to be a pundit given that choice? Punditry is one of the least accountable, most upwardly failing jobs you can get. If he's known for predicting elections otherwise, you can get those wrong and look uncredible in your primary goal. As a pundit you might get a bunch of "this you" tweets when you're wrong bfd people don't look to pundits for right and wrong. they look to pundits for reassurance.

I'm really looking forward to the transcript from yesterday, it sounds like it will be a good read.

It is. Some folks were predicting jury selection could take 2 weeks!

Off on Wednesdays

Trial transcripts published here https://ww2.nycourts.gov/press/index.shtml Only Day1 published so far. I read beginning with peckers testimony. Interesting stuff. The end is pretty interesting where the lawyers work with the judge on a bunch of evidence matters. Cool to read them working together for fair trial.

potentially interesting thought exercise if he can be found to violate the gag order by truth.socialing, could he also be found to violate the gag order if his company's algorithm amplified other posts of that same content?

100. It's so bad for him on multiple levels right now.

That was the third name in my head! I've found that Tristan dude to weave some tales.

not a huge fan of MSNBC having Tristan Snell on TV. He is not much better than Louise Mensch or TrueFactsStated

I tried to get him to the encampment in A2 but he's not into the real world

You haven't.
