a poll idea that just popped into my head: since we've collectively been doing 90's nostalgia for awhile as a culture, what's your secret/stealth best 90's album? not something necessarily widely super critically beloved but is nonetheless great and defining for you?

The first thing my therapist said to me at my appointment this week was "Please tell me they can't just get rid of the Voting Rights Act." If I make my therapist depressed, do I win therapy, or does it just make me a really boring Joker?

At this point, I might as well -- Here's an infographic showing different ways to include age as a predictor. The top shows two extremes, just as a plain old numerical predictor (imposes linear trajectory) vs. categorical predictor (imposes nothing whatsoever). And then three solutions in between!

Infographic illustrating different ways to model age.
First panel shows two "extreme" cases; including age as a linear numerical predictor (df = 1) or including age as a categorical predictor (df = number of years of age minus 1).
Second panel shows an intermediate solution in which age is categorized into broader bins (df = number of categories minus 1, here 5 - 1 = 4).
Third panel shows an intermediate solution in which age is included with a polynomial (df = degrees of freedom of the polynomial, here 4).
Fourth panel shows an intermediate solution in which age is modeled with the help of splines (df = degrees of freedom of the splines, here 4).
