Californian in New Hampshire. Very much a dad. Several seemingly unrelated topics! Data, analytics, SF Giants baseball, health care, econ. Occasional political outbursts. Sorry.

She doesn't do any redistribution, just governance. I may be being an uncharitable Lib, but I think they care intensely about the former but not much about the latter.

Nate is louder , but I’m pretty sure Morris is much worse at this

I love 30 Rock but the way the Flanderized Liz into being an incompetent and controlling dork in the last couple seasons was the biggest problem. I like that Parks and Rec admitted Amy Poehler’s character was admirable AND annoying

which, as I think about it is probably the modal experience of someone reading the book who has not been polarized in either direction by the presence of Ezra Klein.

That was a pretty great post-season, now the rest of the teams need to step up and do everything they can to prevent a three-peat.

Recency bias notwithstanding, I feel like Vladito and Yamamoto are two of the most astonishing sustained postseason performances I've ever seen. I'm sure Madison Bumgarner has a case but I don't want care to think about him at this moment. I'd rather think about the cool guys.
