Well my credit card may have gotten stolen last night, but I also got an acceptance of my abstract to a book on vulnerability

it’s important to understand that Nate Silver’s entire consciousness is filtered through the lens of being a gross nerd his entire life. the opportunity to feel like he’s one of the cool kids is something he can’t pass up, it’s load-bearing for his dork psyche.

Reviewer two has entered the room
We do not see any originality in the plot, nor beauty in the diction, of the “novel” you sent for criticism. You could not dispose of it, and might be far more usefully employed than in writing such. We regret having to say so.

it's so odd to me to see people go to bat for a political newcomer like platner. it's not like he's spent years earning our trust. we have very, very few data points about this dude, and one of those data points is "he has a nazi tattoo."
