@ZJAyres I got diagnosed as an adult. Being able to put a name to the constant refrain in my head of “what is wrong with me?” when I can’t accomplish a simple task has been invaluable to my mental health. I hope this process goes smoothly for you!

Pretty excited about my 5 year old’s first graph! And on the critical topic of pizza consumption by day, too.

Facts

[Bill James Online @billjamesonline]

You absolutely cannot be a good sabermetrician, a good stat analyst, if you believe too much in your stat conclusions. The whole point of sabermetrics is to find your way towards what you DON'T know. If you're certain that you already know it, then you're done. You're useless.

ALERT political scientists studying elections and partisanship, I've found another omitted variable for you

Some advice for the incoming grad students:

Visit the secretary of your department the 1st week you arrive. And then prioritize maintaining a good relationship with them.

Always take care of those who take of you. Especially in academia.

Jeremiah Farrell, the creator of the most famous crossword puzzle ever, died over the weekend.

On Election Day 1996, an across clue read "Lead story in tomorrow's newspaper (!)"... next to ELECTED.

Both BOBDOLE and CLINTON worked in that slot.

Oof. I haven’t been for a few years, but my recollection was that there were a ton of white male college students in nice suits walking around. Hopefully this is an opportunity for significant growth in expanding access to the sports analytics field.
