Nate Silver is a toxic bro & has long been one. He also reflects a pattern of men who started in data journalism or analysis & became all about vibes: him, Yglesias, Leonhardt, & others.

If "even a broken clock is right twice a day" were a career and a smug 'person'.

He blazed a trail in 2012, but others came after him who do it better now.

My general feeling for most of these people is the moment that you move from being an journalist/analyst to pundit– I’m done with you.

The change in Nate Silver isn't "all about him" at all. It's the opposite. Silver is gay. He is increasingly supporting rabid homophobes. My perception is that he is something of a Netanyahu fan, and an anti-black racist. This is extremely common among Democrats, but not as much as GOPers.

He's a gambling addict, and now he's owned by Peter Theil. It's pretty pathetic.

He’s so full of himself. He always makes these obnoxious pronouncements not supported by data, which is weird for a stats guy.

Rich sociopaths like Peter Thiel love the Nate Silver types.
