@24sight.news loved your article today and was hoping you’d be on Julie Mason’s show. And to my surprise you were!

Please relay along since she’s not on here any more that this is exactly the kind of interview we yearn for. You had the back story, personal anecdotes, and the new biz.

@bubblesvampire.bsky.social - French - American history question for you.

What happened between 1783 and 1798 to make the French fleet defeat the British at Yorktown to where the US built the first Norfolk ship to combat French privateers in the Caribbean? French Revolution?

Sigh. I would have thought the correct answer was velociraptor.

A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur.

And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops).

Check out YouGov's new polling on Americans and dinosaurs: yougovamerica.substack.com/p/whats-your...
A split bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Americans are most likely to say T. Rex is their favorite dinosaur, but many don't have a favorite." The chart has the sub-headline: "Which of the following is your favorite dinosaur? (%)." The chart has the note: "Note: "Other" includes responses of archaeopteryx, spinosaurus, plesiosaur, ankylosaurus, allosaurus, parasaurolophus, dilophosaurus, diplodocus, iguanadon, and pachycephalosaurus, as well as responses of "other." We know pterodactyls and plesiosaurs aren't dinosaurs. Opinion about dinosaurs comes from the question, "How much do you like or dislike dinosaurs?""

From @theathletic.bsky.social: The Arizona Diamondbacks banned a fan who has turned home-run catching into a sport and who was the subject of a viral video Monday night. One major-league player has jokingly referred to him as the “Home Run Thief.”

@juliemason.bsky.social love the interviews with polling and implications. Can we have Crosstab and multi variate testing features form these folks too? I am sure they’d love to geek out on the stat methods.
