Are liberals abandoning #BlueSky for #X?
That’s what the headline reads in this #NewYorker article which forces the reader to consume #NateSilver musings before approaching the headline subject
Alternative #SocialMedia such as BlueSky or #Mastodon has seen a decline in posting volume following an initial anti #Twitter surge
The big question is why many liberals remained or have chosen to return to X given #Musk toxicity. Is it simply the #NetworkEffect?

I see a claim on Twitter that Americans reporting poor mental health are much more likely to be Ds, and those reporting excellent mental health are much more likely to be Rs. (The claim is from #NateSilver, but I've seen it elsewhere.)
1. Can't believe everything you read on the Internet.
2. Might be true.
3. I wonder if there's a relationship between mental health and party affiliation in Canada.

Email subscription pop-ups need to not be a thing on webpages.
I'm always mistaking them for paywalls, assuming the page isn't accessible, and moving on.
I *just* discovered that #NateSilver's "Silver Bulletin" *isn't* for paying subscribers only.... just because it kept asking for my email which looked like a "present your login" demand.

🤣 Oh no, #FiveThirtyEight is getting the axe! But fear not, Nate Silver's data crystal ball will soon grace us with riveting Trump approval #ratings. 📉 Because that's exactly what the world needs more of, right? 🤦♂️

FiveThirtyEight, the website started by Nate Silver in 2007, and which shot to fame after its model predicted the 2008 U.S. election results in 49 of 50 states, is closing. This is a result of company Disney making cuts across ABC News, which acquired FiveThirtyEight in 2018 (Silver departed to start his own Silver Bulletin Substack in 2023). Here's more from NiemanLabs about what this all means.

Silver on Monday released an updated #forecast for the #presidential #election, and he has #KamalaHarris as a slight #favorite over Donald #Trump.

Fetterman mocks Nate Silver over Senate dress code: ‘I dress like you predict’

Okay...
I've spent some time doing my own analysis on this, here are a few things.1. Yes, there are a lot of bad low quality #right leaning #polls showing up that are making it look like there's been a huge (as in, 7 point according to RCP) swing. This is all nonsense. However, it's moving reliable poll aggregators (#NateSilver, #538, #SilverBulliten, #FiveThirtyEight) about half a point more than it would otherwise.
2. #Polymarket numbers have everything to do with wishful thinking from #techbros, and I would 100% make money off it if I could be bothered to go through their asinine process of betting on their platform. (It involves #crypto)
3. Regardless of all that the polls, even high quality ones, have been more favorable to #Trump than to #Harris. Particularly in #SwingStates. (E.g. #Pennsylvania, #Michigan, #Wisconsin, #NorthCarolina, #Nevada, #Arizona)
4. This has been shown more from Trump gaining than in Harris losing any support. This means that some of the #undecided #voters are finally starting to say they'll support Trump.
5. Given that polls are typically off by 4.3%, anything, that puts the range of national polls at from 50.5:44.2 in favor of Harris to 45.9:48.6 in favor of Trump. The .5 to 1 point shift is not a game changer.
6. The one thing that is really significantly altered by the right-leaning polls is Pennsylvania, which goes from .1 in favor of Harris to .9 in favor of Harris.
7. Polls can shift dramatically. It would be totally normal for the polls to shift five points in one direction or the other in the coming weeks.Summary:
Polls have gone from an #ElectoralCollege dead heat to an #ElectoralCollege dead heat.
Polls are mostly tracking PA, meaning winning PA wins the race, which is the state most likely to be underreporting Harris support.
There is a significant chance that the only purpose of the polls was to make a case for challenging an #election #Republicans think they're going to lose.
Harris is substantially more likely to destroy Trump than vice versa.
I would say Harris remains the slight favorite, but every single actions - and every #vote - is massively important to winning in #November.

Nate Silver Blasts Dems Supporting Hunter Pardon: ‘You’re Not Fooling Anyone’
https://www.thedailybeast.com/nate-silver-blasts-democrats-supporting-hunter-biden-pardon-youre-not-fooling-anyone/ -
to their credit, the modelers wrote copious articles explaining this and try to warn people but it’s TL;DR so someone just asks #natesilver what his guy says and his guy gives disclaimers but those get ignored too..

CW: USpol election polls and simulations
For those worrying about the #election2024 tomorrow; It's very mindful and demure to remember that polls and simulations suck. They failed to predict the mess of 2016. The US election system has a strong bias and fundamentally defies logic.
#natesilver is full of shit
#fivethirtyeight and #270towin use simulations that defy all logicGo #vote and this we'll go from there

BREAKING NEWS: #NateSilver panics his poll numbers look bad; calls Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to provide him 11,580 votes. #FiveThirtyEight #NationalPolls

Nate Silver's gut doesn't contain a uterus. He is catastrophically ignorant about how half the electorate feel about the prospect of having Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas decide what must emerge from their vaginas.
Imagine the arrogance of writing about feelings in your abdomen at a time like this. Breathtaking arrogance. #NateSilver

If the election is a tossup, and the model can't offer any insight other than to forecast the race with a 50-50 chance to break in either direction, then how do I get people to pay attention to me?
Nate Silver has published a piece in The New York Times that clearly explains why people should continue to give me lots of attention and money despite being unable to provide them with any meaningful prediction.

#natesilver has become just another clout chasing asshole for the 'relevancy' of licking #plutocrat boots to get amplified on plutocrat media
-
only #poll that counts is on nov 5 #electionday #election2024
also these forecasters are a bunch of fucking sleazy trolls:
"#Democrats accused #NateSilver of being in the pocket of #PeterThiel, the billionaire #Republican donor who has invested in the prediction marketplace #Polymarket, which brought in Silver as an investor... has little to do with his role advising a betting platform and more to do with the fact that he can move betting markets with a tweet"

BREAKING NEWS: #NateSilver admits “I don’t care about any of this shit”; the model is just me guessing numbers between rounds of video games and porn.

The Guardian trying to make Nate Silver out to be balanced and fair when really he's in the pocket of Peter Thiel (no mention of that in the article as far as I can see)
Also, is it me or is this protected White Boy gloating over the prospect of Minorities having to flee the country?
Creeper....

He’s one of those weird political sports fans. He, #JasonWhitlock, and #ClayTravis (and maybe #NateSilver) are part of an interesting (and small) breed of folks who are avid fans of both sports and news and have trouble getting mainstream success in the #MSM because the infrastructure doesn’t do a good job at handling people who like talking about both at the same time
Also, the man is absolutely insane, his short-form videos during #Trump’s campaign was must-see content.
-
Following up on my post earlier today talking about the death of #FiveThirtyEight, this short Twitter, thread from Claire Malone, really struck a chord with me; the growth of data journalism, for better, or for worse (in my books, better) is directly attributable to Nate Silver and his website. #journalism #datajournalism #disneylayoffs #NateSilver

Pollster WARNS Trump SURGING In Swing States

#NateCohn is not to be confused with #NateSilver. Nate Cohn is the primary pollster employed by the #NewYorkTimes. He started out at the New Republic and leans #Conservative
He is a #partisan hack. Any #polls he puts out should be considered suspect.
-
@wdlindsy Yes! Pollsters want to view the Walz choice, like everything else, in terms of strategy —the horserace mentality. Not only are they often wrong; they're wrongheaded.
