Nate left 538 about a year ago. He now publishes his own SubStack for subscription and does a lot of consulting, notably including a hefty contract with Peter Theil the well know billionaire and right wing power broker who pushed JD Vance to be the Vice Presidential candidate for Trump

I agree with your take on the old 538 model, but if you read Nate’s new substack it become pretty clear that he’s been ‘captured’. Almost all of his post seem to fairly anti-Harris in their biases and it feels like all of his writings are really meant for one person, that person being the owner of Polymarket who he has a very large consulting contract. What these biases are doing to the Model I don’t know but the new model at 538 which was built from the ground up by other statisticians consistently trends about 10-20% higher odds for Harris taking the election.

I don’t if the story is true but I heard in the finale day before she made her decision she interviewed both Josh Shapiro and Tim, and when she did Josh want to know what the divisions of responsibilities were going to be and what he would be able to take charge of. And Tim walked in and opened with “So what do you want me to do?” and I think that says everything I need to know about him.

Bawk! Bawk bawk! Bawk!

It was less about the studio meddling and a bit more about the people who were involved weren’t in awe of George. His, at the time, wife was the editor on the first movie and she made a lot of changes in the editing bay to improve what was a bit of a mess they say. And don’t discount the amount of rewrites done on the fly by the cast. Carrie was taking everyone scripts and punching them a lot and she went on to become one of best punch up writers in Hollywood. Even Harrison Ford, a notoriously shy and conflict avoidant guy, was improvising his lines because he knew that Han wouldn’t say “I love you, too” even facing being frozen in Carbonite.

Hey this is really well said. Please accept my thanks for your quality work here

You know that the perfect doesn’t have to be the enemy of good right? Both of you are right.

I don’t remember where I was on 9/11 but I was drinking a lot back then so that doesn’t say much.

So my take away here is that JD Couchfucker here is saying neither he or Trump are powerful enough to do anything. Is that really the message you want to be sending during your campaign for the highest office in America?

Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays

I know! Those 3 line are god damn masterpiece in screenwriting. I guess I just got lucky

No but the kind of chicks who’d double up on a guy like me do.

Oh god I thought this was like the couch thing, a viral prank or something but no. It’s a real thing trying to make fun of Tim Waltz. God these people are the worst.

Eh, I prefer Mancala then any off your new fangled ‘board’ games

Sorry Sentient, this isn’t a thing that’s happened but a thing that should. But you do have a chance to give Prodigy a go and for that I’m jelly. It a fun show that really gets the inspirational and aspirational thing about Star Trek.

You know Dal’s gonna get a wicked mural of a Klingon fighting a sahlat on the side of the new shuttles in the next season of Prodigy.

Don’t threaten me with a good time, you creepy old shirtball!

The common clay of old west.

Travelers is such an underrated show! Really good premise, tight well thought out time travel, solid storytelling and some great performances by lesser known actors. I really want to second its recommendations. Honestly it’s not top tier prestige TV but damn it’s good.

And now that understand why trombonists get all the girls.
