Good news: new and improved job title. Bad news: jokes remain old and bad.

Are the results from this clearly flawless and highly scientific poll shocking? Not at all. But the cynicism is still a bit depressing, no?

Got to present at the EEF Evaluation Conference. This is one of the more rewarding and cool projects I have worked on, using AI to help code Pupil Premium statements and help public policy practitioners better understand how funds are being used to help economically disadvantaged students.

Unsolicited ADHD tip: A few months back, I replaced my morning doom scrolling with a cat and a fantasy/sci fi book. Did it make me healthy and energised in the morning? No, not even close, I'm still a wretch. But it did make my mornings ~10% less miserable, and that's neat.

Local football, where you can get the unmatched high of watching a club funded by the Winklevoss twins' crypto scam have their undefeated season ruined by your tiny club tucked behind a carwash and a Sainsburys.

Drawbacks of getting hooked on the Stormlight Archives series: I want to read it on the train, but I refuse to haul this absolute unit around all day.

A total brick of a book, with water bottle for scale

Honestly, not even very commonly used over the past 4 years.

Just one data source, but to back up your point, here is every mention of the words "fascist" or "fascism" in every Congressmember's or Senators' newsletter between 2010 and 2017. Not exactly widely used.

Election officials are increasingly reliant on computer algorithms to help verify mail-in ballots. But does the use of algorithmic tools impact voters’ confidence in elections? My colleagues and I explored this (and more) in our new piece for PRQ. Here are some key highlights: 1/5🧵 lnkd.in/eNr34x-E

Just posting this for posterity as a "break glass in case of emergency" situation for bad journal reviews or unnecessary nerd discourse.

"I'm a very smart political consultant/media pundit, trust me. If you cede this last human rights issue, the GOP will surely become reasonable and stop repeatedly screaming about how all Democrats are child-stealing Illuminati lizard people every election cycle."

I know it's exceedingly lame to count Google scholar citations. But grad school Adam would have been overjoyed to hit 50 citations. A little holiday gift to my (already inflated) ego.

With all the talk of poll herding, worth noting that Verian had the most accurate polls for the UK general election. The "secret sauce" was spending effort and resources to curate a high quality sample pool and trusting the results pulled from it. In other words, good fundamental polling.
