Then again, using models for previous elections for new elections where there are huge difference in the overall environment doesn't work well - unsurprisingly, but that's hard to fix. We never had a situation exactly like this before.

In qualitative work, there’s a big line between repeating back something the participant has said to indicate you know they’ve discussed it and speculating for 30 seconds about what they’ll say to you.
If you watched this and didn’t already know who was supposed to be the well prepared 60 Minutes correspondent and who was the nervous wreck being interviewed you’d assume it would cut back to Abdul being like “Ross cut off the interview and did not respond to further email requests”
Bari Weiss's resident hack Ross Douthat made a complete fool of himself on 60 Minutes, trying to claim the Saudi lobby has the same grip on Washington as AIPAC. Abdul El-Sayed immediately crushed him: 'AIPAC spent $33 million against me alone! Name another lobby doing that.' It has to make sense!🗳️🌊

Dear Elsevier
Given that this is a qualitative journal, did it ever occur to you to include some open-ended methods to capture why so many of us are losing the will to live when it comes to academic peer review?

Oh yes, the famous crucial qualitative step change in ratiocinative power that occurs on your 25th birthday, before which you may exercise no personal choices
"Helen Joyce...said: “Given that we know the vast majority of elective mastectomies relating to gender identity are performed on girls who haven’t reached the crucial age of brain maturity at 25, the sharp rise in the number of these surgeries in recent years is a tragedy."

Was talking with a friend about this—it's going to be an impossible challenge for social scientists to separate candidate quality effects from national partisan wave effects in the Senate, because the the median swing Senate race pitted a terrific D candidate against an unbelievably bad R candidate.

This election followed the normal thermostatic pattern, where moving policy rightward leads to Democratic gains (my early estimates). The extent of gains exceeded prior elections, but is consistent with our qualitative interpretation of prior waves:
