Getting paid hundreds of times the salary of an average employee to drop in and fuck around for a year? Nice work if you can get it.

It seems like major traumatic events always break some formerly reasonable brains. It happened with 9/11 and now again with COVID. I used to like Nate quite a bit, but the pandemic changed him from a smart statistics guy with some trollish tendencies into a nonstop bad take pundit.

I'd love to see charts of media coverage of crime, public perception of crime, and actual number of crimes. Maybe I'm wrong, but my guess is that the first two are going to be pretty closely correlated and not have all that much to do with the third.

SCOTUS also seems to have scared a lot of media from plainly saying when his orders are illegal, because there's no way to predict whether what's unconstitutional now will turn out to be just fine in a few weeks.
