I’ve been reading through the published fine print on data and methods of publicly available presidential polls this week. Oof. Even the “good” ones. Oof.

Staying agnostic on the stay/drop discourse, but I want to mention the below isn’t really true in a practical sense. Biden-Harris could move the whole wad to the DNC which would get the same favorable ad rates, and barriers to coordination are a joke now. prospect.org/power/2024-0...

I never even knew what “start up funds” were until someone told me at my postdoc. If I had gotten any job offers straight out of grad school I wouldn’t have known to ask for them.

It’s baffling to me that a party’s previous president decides 3 years in advance to run again, goes to Iowa and gets just barely over half of his own party folks to caucus for him, and everybody calls this a “dominant” performance.

I brilliantly build a bunch of cushion into my syllabi because the Formula 1 race will make it nearly impossible for me to get to work for half of November. I then torch a bunch of this cushion straight out of the gate by getting covid.
