Important point:

There are 2 tells here by Cohn: 1-the screenshot text has been changed to ⬇️ (my image) 2-it's clear the actual scientists told him these data don't pass the smell test (e.g., if some undecideds break for Trump, then 1/3 Black voters would vote for Trump), but Cohn is trying to salvage something.

Wait, are you telling me that response rate is so warped as to effect samples? Just how lopsided is it, Mr. Cohn?

My doubts about the polls are exemplified by this FOX poll. It's unclear if Biden will win the Electoral College, but I'm certain he'll win the popular vote. That's not just hopium, but remembering that the Dem candidate has received more votes than the GOP one in the last 7/8 elections. Yet…

Current COVID status in D.C.:

And: "He recommends the average person track COVID wastewater data from the CDC to see if it's trending upwards in their area"–there are no data for D.C., *the nation's capital*, since June 3, so I guess we just use a Magic 8-Ball?

I can't believe I did 3+ plus years of fake Trump signing statements every day. Some of them were pretty damn funny tho.

A few years ahead of my time:

Answer is definitely no:

"Here's why this is bad news for Biden..."

half of my timeline is like:

I keep seeing this BULLSHIT going around so: - they are totally harmless to humans - they're gonna eat spotted lanternflies (which is a good thing)! - Many, many species of spiders "fly". Young spiderlings throw their threads up into the air and catch a ride on the wind it's called ballooning.

very low energy

And it's out there! (bonus points for "dogpile")

I have no idea if 'Rep. Gov. Noem is a puppy murderer' will take off, but: 1-you can't win if you don't buy a ticket. 2-(some) Dems are realizing that you have to attack the person, not just abstract policies. Baby steps, but at least they're in the right direction.

So this is an interesting new (experimental) feature...

Surprised it was this low.

Here's the U.S. Fed Funds interest rate. It's higher than it has been, but it's not close to being off the charts historically (and lower interest rates *usually* mean higher unemployment & lower wages–which hits certain SES groups harder than others; also see fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFU... ):

I know this isn't @annmlipton.bsky.social's point, but it would be a hilarious protest if someone posted the Exodus 34 version of the Ten Commandments (mikethemadbiologist.com/2006/06/10/w...) :

Because Louisiana has so much extra money, it's totally worth it to splurge on unnecessary litigation costs

Here's a summary:

nobody wants to work anymore

It's remarkable that weeks of hackery about Biden's supposed senility have just disappeared into the ether–and that a supposedly savvy political press corps was, once again, duped by Republican hacks (remarkable, not surprising).
