Scientific American: Why Election Polling Has Become Less Reliable Today technological changes—including caller ID, the rise of texting and the proliferation of spam messages—have led very few people to pick up the phone or answer unprompted text messages. Even the well-respected New York Times/Siena College poll gets around a 1 percent response rate, Bailey points out. In many ways, people who respond to polls are the odd ones out, and this self-selection can significantly bias the results in unknowable but profound ways. “The game’s over. Once you have a 1 percent response rate, you don’t have a random sample,” Bailey says. The article goes on to explain how the pollsters are using mathematical weighting based on voters characteristics to attempt to adjust the results. Frankly, if I were a pollster, I would be searching for a new career.

If Tucker Carlson had any real friends, they would take him aside and explain that he really needs to avoid laughing any time a camera is pointed at him.

Perhaps if Elmo was putting his money into Tesla R&D instead of flushing it down XItter, this would not have happened: A Chinese Carmaker Just Crushed Tesla At The Most Important Track In The World Nürburgring lap time: Tesla Model S Plaid: 7 minutes 25.23 seconds Xioami SU7 Ultra: 6 minutes and 46.87 seconds

But they will also settle for a motorhome!

From Heather Cox Richardson last night: As the clips spread like wildfire, political writer Charlotte Clymer pointed out that almost 6 million Puerto Ricans live in the states—about a million in Florida, half a million in Pennsylvania, 100,000 in Georgia, 100,000 in Michigan, 100,000 in North Carolina, 45,000 in Arizona, and 40,000 in Nevada—and that over half of them voted in 2020.

I was reading about one of those betting sites a couple days ago where they figured out that it was being gamed by 4 accounts owned by a single rich French guy had made ~$30M of bets on Trump, completely changing the odds. Now the question is: Is the "rich French guy" actually a front for some nation?
-
Someone needs to remind the cult that being US citizens, there is nothing preventing Puerto Ricans from moving to swing states where they immediately have the right to vote in presidential elections.

Elon Musk, Trump, Security Concerns for America
ryoder replied to Phil1111's topic in Speakers Corner
The best Elmo meme I've see this morning: -
And we must assume the MAGA fools think he went to a foreign country in October 2017 to throw paper towels at hurricane victims?
-
So the fool doesn't know PR is a part of the US?

Someone is not impressed with Elmo's (probably empty) latest promise: Philadelphia DA sues Elon Musk PAC to stop $1 million lottery for voters
-
+1 for the "Jackie Brown" reference.
-
That was the line when I streamed it last night via Apple TV.
-
When I read that last item, I did not realize what it was referencing. I just assumed it was yet another Elmo flop I had forgotten. Then googling turned up it was "The Simpsons" S4E12. So I watched it last night. ;-)

...With A Bronze Turd HuffPost: Mysterious Monument On Capitol Hill 'Honors' Jan. 6 With A Bronze Turd “Whoever did this is a national hero,” said one Virginia resident passing by the installation that will grace the National Mall for a week. As the participants should be remembered.

Tonights topic from Heather Cox Richardson is the 1945 "Army Talk Orientation Fact Sheet #64 - Fascism". Heather Cox Richardson - Letters from an American - October 26, 2024 She includes a link to the full text of it, but you may find this one easier to read: Full text of "Army Talk Orientation Fact Sheet #64 - Fascism!" Of course, just like every other aspect of the MAGA SOP, whenever they accuse their opponents of engaging in something, it means they are already doing it themselves.

Hell, I never knew about this! GeorgiaDon was talking about someone else.

Yes, it happened. I knew them personally.

Never fear; He found a workaround: Elon Musk Found A Way To Make His Illegal Voter Drive Legal: Don't Actually Pay Anyone This likely isn’t an intentional move to skirt the law from Musk — he’s already shown a willingness to brazenly flout regulations — but could instead fall under the general huckster, snake oil salesman approach that he brings to all aspects of his life outside of white supremacy. Think of these $47 payments like the Hyperloop, or self-driving cars, or the Springfield Monorail.

Just note his apparel. ;-)

Upon further consideration, I think having generals like Rommel could have good for Trump. ;-)

Also: War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Yes, he would prefer to have the generals of the team who took 2nd place, rather than have the generals of the team who took 1st place. Also, from Ron Filipkowski on Xitter: Trump: Any jewish American who doesn't vote for me should have their head examined. Also Trump: I wish I had some Generals like Hitler had.
