26,000,000 interviews / 365 days / 45 employees = 1622 interviews a day per person
Every time i go to look for something from this guy some obvious bullshit jumps out. No you did not do 26 million interviews. Boasting about machine learning is not an answer to "data". You are running a bullshit factory

This is so real, they tried it this morning in Bloomington. They stopped a man, people started honking horns, they split up to fuck with everyone else, which brought more attention and more noise, people got out of their cars and started filming, they left. They're cowards.
obviously not in the sense that it’s stopping everything, but they are being stalled so much by trying to find places where they aren’t watched, wasting so much manpower and resources on crowd control and even arresting observers they know will just get released. i am so proud of everyone

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

Are we supposed to call our reps and tell them we don’t like when the president engages in overt war crimes, or can we trust them to get there on their own?

Lots of media complainer men are angry at Tulane and JMU for taking up postseason spots that could've gone to programs that have frequently proven themselves in big games. In unrelated news Oklahoma's 4-11 in BCS/NY6/CFP games since 2002

Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:
Mo’ne Davis Is Finally Ready to Play Baseball Again
More than a decade after becoming a Little League sensation at age 13, Mo’ne Davis is set to make more history as the face of the Women’s Pro Baseball League.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

I do think it’s noteworthy that when these guys are inventing party planks that don’t exist they always go to anti-racism as the mockworthy initiative
I don't think it helps the debate about what Democrats should do to pick an obscure thing that some Democrat somewhere may have said -- like on teaching eighth grade algebra -- and then attribute it to Democrats generally.

This week's post is going to focus on getting started with the BDB. I have a series of 4 planned for the next two weeks to help get newbies with some base programming knowledge go from zero to a basic model with tracking data. If you have questions, please ask!

MLB shouldn’t even have playoffs. This is a hill I will die on.
great example of the total folly of pretending MLB's postseason decides the actual best team when you have a five-game series to determine the outcome between two extremely evenly matched teams

NFL Big Data Bowl dropped this past week and while I'm not entering this year, I did want to have some fun with tracking data and other football side projects so I'm launching a Substack as a public forum to do so. Plan to do some BDB tutorials. Check it out!

Welcome, Friend.
I figured I’d start this Substack with a brief introduction to myself and the purpose of this space.
