Are we sure this is good news? It just means that people will abandon Fox for Newsmax and OANN which is somehow worse. Hopefully Dominion and Smartmatic sue them out of existence. Or they'll watch Tucker's new podcast. Or he'll get a deal with Spotify. I'm glad Tucker is gone, but I'm not sure it fixes anything.

Deplatforming people like Tucker is always good news. Very few people who watch Fox are actually going to switch for anything else. They'll just grow disillusioned with Fox.

I don't want to take away from what is objectively a great day for the country...

...but I have a sudden existential dread that the monkey's paw is going to curl and in 18 months we're going to have President Carlson.

Remember Clarence Thomas' excuse that his gifts from Crow were ok because Crow never had business come up before the court?
Well. He technically did.

More news coming out about the finances of our Supreme Court Justices.

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/25/neil-gorsuch-colorado-property-sale-00093579

Interestingly it was all reported, just obfuscated. They don't claim to be "friends" and it's less egregious than Thomas.

Nate Silver out... although this sounds more like he's preemptively leavving as Disney ramps up layoffs?

Nah hes fired. Good riddance. Sucks for the people under him losing their jobs but he can go find somewhere else to be an overentitled rich dude.

Honestly, the 538 models are pretty sketchy anyway - the biggest loss is that they just have like really nice maps, especially for house elections which not everyone gets really deep into. But some of the poll aggregation is lol - 538 really let trafalgar swindle them last election. If they go down I would miss the visual aspects of their models, because their stuff is really easy to navigate and look at, but I'm not convinced of the accuracy of their models and I think anyone could do a similar job.

538 is still probably one of the best aggregators out there but damn if Silver wasn't trying to change that how he was handling things last cycle. It's just that outlets like RCP are even worse lol.

It sounds like ABC is planning to keep 538 around, and honestly I think they can get someone to do a better job than Nate Silver. I don't think he's stupid, but I don't think he's as smart as everyone thinks either.

I think we need @HaRRicH to weigh in on all things related to fair and/or carnival games.

The balloon-game metaphor was great, no notes.

My first thought was he looks like Ernest Goes to Congress.

Eh Nate does occasionally say some stupid stuff (e.g. on covid) and hes often pretty smug, but like 80% of the hate I see coming towards him is pretty unjustified (especially the people blaming him for the polls being wrong when a) hes an aggregator/modeler, not a pollster and b) the polls have actually been pretty decent lately)

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts on Wednesday sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his hand-picked oversight board, accusing the Republican 2024 presidential prospect of weaponizing his political power to punish the company for exercising its free speech rights.
