I share beautiful words from beautiful books. Mostly poetry. Some prose. Always attributed, always pro-author, and generative AI is theft.

From Jay Hopler's book, Still Life, which was released shortly after he passed in 2022. The beauty and wonder with which he explored and faced his illness have stunned me ever since.

I love the number, but isn't this super flawed data? No way we're already at 38% of total turnout, and they didn't in any way weight it to account for that.

Looked into the Emerson NYC data and it seems like they're WAY oversampling already voted? Still good but there's no way we're at 38% of total turnout right now already, no?
