@robbierecall @mattyglesias It’s a lot of people, but it’s way less than a million

@BriMcCaskill @NateSilver538 It’s also owned by Amtrak, not the MTA. So the issue is with trains run by the state of New Jersey at a station operated by the federal government.

@kevingazzale @NateSilver538 Curious who you think runs NJ Transit? Also Penn Station is owned by Amtrak, not NYC

@ESPNFantasy Why is Luka only eligible at PG? He doesn’t guard the opposing point guard and the opposing point guard doesn’t guard him

@ericibid @katelynnulrich Apparently we’re getting a new car

@Luvnediting They took him home to his father and didn’t file charges.

@mattyglesias A person/company in NY can also only own one liquor store. It’s why Trader Joe’s has only one wine store in the state and Wegmans has (technically) only one liquor store

@AnthonyDiComo I can believe this. The only time my girlfriend and I have screamed at each other was when a squirrel got into an apartment and we couldn't figure out how to get it out.

@number10_ @MrRoonil_Wazlib @Bau5tinMartin @DragonflyJonez The alcohol industry benefits from addiction, but does not depend on it as the central tenet of its business model. Nicotine is more addictive than alcohol, and the entire business model for tobacco companies is to encourage addiction, then prey on that addiction.

@AndyGrewal @lee_kovarsky You can act in good faith and still make terrible decisions. I do it all the time.

[James Galloway @JamesLGalloway]

@SethPartnow True shooting and batting average both benefit from simple, widely known heuristic for "really good," with 60% and .300, respectively. Defensive rating/per 100 lack a similar anchor point (and leaguewide efficiency may need to stabilize before an anchor can be set)

[James Galloway @JamesLGalloway]

@SethPartnow That makes sense too. Maybe the passage of time will be enough to increase understanding. Casual fans in baseball seem to understand batting average despite the abstract name. The growing use of True Shooting is another reason for optimism.

[James Galloway @JamesLGalloway]

@SethPartnow Per-100 stats require a person to identify that the 100 is a (somewhat) arbitrary scalar to approximate a full game. I see how per 100 might be helpful for really small numbers, like postups, but maybe using % there might be better?

[James Galloway @JamesLGalloway]

@SethPartnow Even "per-100" still seems to throw people off. Might be better to default to simple "per possession." I remember Wilbon getting stuck on the per-100 possessions part on a 538 podcast where he argued against analytics.

@DylanJHernandez Harden's on my fantasy team. Wish Brooklyn had considered that first

[James Galloway @JamesLGalloway]

@kdrum Including each other?

When a source lies to you, they don’t deserve anonymity.

[James Galloway @JamesLGalloway]

@mattyglesias Cut a deal in exchange for joining the Popular Vote Interstate Compact?

[James Galloway @JamesLGalloway]

@mattyglesias @nbeaudrot And one of our larger exports

[Sam Stein @samstein]

How will Republican lawmakers who never seemed to see Trump’s tweets even know the account is gone?
