One of my favorite things Kahnemann ever said was that even though he was an expert in cognitive biases, that was little help to him in avoiding them. I appreciated the humility.

Wouldn’t that just cede the seats to Macron’s party? Is it possible there is a quid pro quo that’s not publicly announced?

100% on Biden? You think the NYT reaction is entirely appropriate and reflects no animus on the part of Sulzberger that directly impacts the journalistic integrity of the Times?

It’s be interesting to know if there is any precedent for a split if that magnitude between top of ticket and down ballot. I’d *think* numbers will converge as we get closer to election, but we’ll see.

There were two times in the last 10 years when I felt a sense of dread about where the country was likely to go. One was when the NYT broke the bs Comey story about the investigation of Clinton. The other was when RBG died. I hoped I was wrong about what both would lead to, but sadly, I wasn’t.
