“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”

"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

Being confronted with the fact that this is what pretty much everyone else thinks journalists, researchers, analysts, etc do. This is why our parents are confused about our jobs, and why casual acquaintances think they could write a book, too, and why’d ours take so long?

Watching Jaxson Dart, JJ McCarthy, and Max Brosmer play in the same game is, hopefully, causing some white supremacists to reevaluate their views.

These guys really should just watch sports and do sports betting instead because complaining about "underperformance" in a win is degenerate gambler behavior
This is why I'm really starting to hate the data bros.
Matty Y: "Dems should focus less on climate change/renewable energy, it's a losing issue."
Sean Casten (an actual Congressman): "I won a purple district multiple times by focusing on those issues"
Lakshya: "YEAH BUT YOU DIDN'T OVERPERFORM"

when we said “defer electoral strategy to the actual politicians running for actual offices” we meant “after calculating wins above replacement somehow”
