I often encourage folks to "embrace the uncertainty" -- this @beccasiegel talk is fantastic on this score and should be required watching for anyone entering political polling/analytics. We are lucky to have her.

Having computer scientists study the persuasiveness of LLMs -- not great. Red flags for me that study is not high quality: 1. w/in subjects design 👎 2. no hot-button issues w/ priors 3. in real life non-experts don't persuade 4. Surge AI as data source anthropic.com/news/measuring…

BREAKING: Democrat @MarilynForAL has defeated Republican Teddy Powell, who just conceded in the special election for Alabama House District 10, a Huntsville-area swing district, by what looks like will be a pretty big margin (district was Trump +1, Doug Jones +5 in 2020)

It is beautiful to see how many tributes are from my generation. Hal was already a legend when we started our careers. But he took time to teach us, meet with us, and brainstorm experiments with us. I didn't know him well, but that makes his kindness all the more laudable.

Climate NIMBYism delays & kills clean energy projects all because liberals are worried about preserving costly environmental review legal delays for fossil fuel projects that aren't even close to the majority of the delays
@ArnabDatta321 @EnergyLawProf @mattyglesias It's so perverse that the strictest level of environmental review disproportionately slows down clean energy projects. From 2012-2018: 60% of all environmental impact statements for energy projects were for transmission/solar/wind/hydro/etc Only 24% were for fossil fuels.
I'm a 58 year old, college-educated, white male from NM. I'm a moderate Democrat who supports more renewable fuel use, supports hiring more police, opposes banning assault rifles, and supports a $15/hr min wage. I voted for Joe Biden in 2020.
I condemn Hamas' terrorism. I decry Netanyahu's cruelty and brutality. It might be simpler — more convenient — to "pick a side." But it wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be truthful. Nuance sides us with the innocent — Israelis and Palestinians alike, who deserve peace.
@davidshor @opinonhaver Reminds me of the Oregon Medicare Experiment. People were better off (disappointing the right) but the program did not pay for itself and was just expensive (disappointing the left).
I've been trying to step away from this entire discourse because it's almost completely unproductive, but if you fly a Hezbollah flag you deserve contempt and you are not a human rights activist.

@jon_m_rob I mean that putting endorsements on the ballot seems like poor survey design!
Interesting idea, but the steelman against it is that it seems like a subsidy to organized groups of very engaged and invested individuals and disempowers candidates appealing to a broad swath of voters

Hey you! You should check out this cool new paper. "War Causes Religiosity" The authors scraped web images of hundreds of thousands of gravestones of deceased U.S. Americans. People who were randomly drafted into war are at least 20% more likely to have religious gravestones
We are actually making progress on tackling climate change! We have managed to basically halt the previously inexorable rise of CO2 emissions. The energy of the future is solar.
The amount of warming Earth is projected to face in coming decades has DROPPED since 2015. “If we don’t talk about what has been accomplished, we are disempowering and discouraging people from taking action,” @KHayhoe says. ciphernews.com/articles/how-w… via @CipherClimate
