When do MLB players peak—and can missing seasons distort the answer? This JSM 2026 presentation uses multiple imputation to account for players who leave the game, producing a more accurate picture of how offensive performance changes with age. #JSM2026 #SportsAnalytics

No team can struggle in 2026 because they use analytics because everyone does. They may struggle because they used analytics *poorly* but not for the simple fact they use analytics.

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.
Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
"There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

In announcing the Pentagon’s agreement with Scouting America, the defense secretary assailed the group for welcoming transgender children but stopped short of saying they would be denied entry.

He’s absolutely right that prisons and other detention places were bad under Dem presidents. And know what today’s critics of ICE did then? Complain abt it and demand change. Is this just a lame deflection, or do GOPers like this genuinely not understand that not all ppl put party loyalty first?

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the release of "Blazing Saddles," the plot of which involves business and political interests leveraging ordinary people's bigotry in an effort to obtain power and financial gain. People like to say that that movie couldn't be made today. Shit, we're living it.

Wrote about the use of misogyny and homophobia to diminish Renee Good's life and excuse her death open.substack.com/pub/autonomy...
Those who wished to diminish, or even celebrate, Good’s murder are galling in their moral depravity, their unmitigated eagerness to lie about the circumstances of her death, and their desperation to turn an avoidable tragedy into yet another gleeful spectacle of shared enemies and open cruelty. Few have been as visible in this display as Vice President J.D. Vance, who, from the White House briefing room to his obnoxious presence on social media, has devoted hours and hours to lecturing the American people on why Renee Good simply deserved to die. Vance has elected to make himself the face of Good’s murder in part, I believe, because Good’s life—full of creative ambition, love lost and gained, and queer freedom—is anathema to Vance’s own narrow, rigid gender ideology. The goal of devaluing her life is consistent with his transparently psychosexual and coercive natalist politics and his frequent jeremiads about the breakdown of the patriarchal family. Vance’s target audience—the only audience capable of looking past his mealy-mouthed distortions and middle-management comportment—is bitter, terrified men delighted by any opportunity to enact revenge on a mythical gynocracy.

My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.
Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick criticizing a government official’s claim that due process should be ignored in immigration enforcement. The tweet argues that due process applies to everyone and is enshrined twice in the U.S. Constitution. Below it is a quoted tweet referencing a statement attributed to Stephen Miller about deportations, alongside a video still of a man speaking at a podium outdoors.
