PROBABILITY DEBUNKING DUJOUR,
Do tall people make more money?

Friends, the R^2 for this graph is between .01 and .17 meaning there is between 0 and 3.6% chance this really applies to you or any single person.

The @FT has a lot of narrative around BS. Probability is hard.

Dumb question, but has any presidential primary candidate ever become the frontrunner by defending the frontrunner?https://t.co/z69FFtgZHw

@aubreystrobel They are between the ages of 12 and 26. So, we can assume that almost half of them are or should be still in school, and another large portion are in college during the day. So yeah, what’s your point?

Seems like a case of “normalcy bias” but then again what’s normal nowadays? https://t.co/bnQKpjC044

Incroyable discours prémonitoire du général de Gaulle en 1919.. Ecrit il y a siècle, il n'y a rien à enlever..

Dimon manages trillions of dollars in assets, but apparently doesn't know how #Bitcoin works.

I’m going to write a book about what it’s like navigating through the construction on North St. Mary’s Street right now.

It will be Choose Your Own Adventure and every page leads to a dead end.

Incredible respect for Pelosi/Hoyer/Clyburn but it’s nice to see a new leadership group where the old one is 59 instead of the young one being 82.

[Jonathon Holler @JonathonHoller]

For the sake of our democracy, leadership in both parties should let the next generation step in. @SpeakerPelosi is 82 years old and has been in office for 35 years. Great run. Now please get out of the way.

1. It's astonishing how wrong so many of the predictions of a 'red wave/tsunami' were. I for one am fed up with pundits and commentators getting things so, so wrong & then just... moving on.

So here's a thread/reminder of some of the worst midterm predictions. Read/share/enjoy:

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

OK - here you go. A rogue's gallery of the red wave/red wedding predictions. I'm only including terrible forecasts made by high-profile people - if I included all the ones made in my mentions by Brians bunch of numbers (like the one below), the thread would be 100 tweets long.

What if all these antics from @elonmusk were just a ploy to get conservatives to buy electric cars?
