Continuing to sit shiva for FiveThirtyEight this week by sharing some behind the scenes memories over at GDPolitics.com. Like the time we almost turned the podcast into a 2020 election docuseries and did the most INSANE photoshoot ever lol. Welcome to “CSI: Nerdtown” - ThreadSky

Maybe understand that the public at large cannot afford some fucking Versaille level arrogance as they try and pay their water bills and then look at this photo you took again.

Fuckin Christ.

Exactly- as if 538 is anything more than a boil on Trumps ass- good riddance really

beepboopclaptrap.bsky.social•4 days ago

COOL.

Have you ever thought about your mission and your job as journalists and how you are ostensibly a bulwark against fascism?

Because holy fuck this photo either way

Is that Claire? I used to enjoy her work, but I lost track of her when she was no longer part of 538.

(I'm not galen but I know that) it is Clare yeah!

She does good stuff at the New Yorker. If you remember the story about Hasan Minhaj telling misleading personal stories from 1.5 years ago - that was from her!

Thank you. Also, your cat is adorable.

gerakion.bsky.social•4 days ago

He's a very good boy

She's here as @claremalone.bsky.social as well.

I’ve been spelling her name wrong this entire time, no wonder I couldn’t find her work.

Thank you!

I’m genuinely heartbroken to lose 538. I had been listening to the podcast since 2016. I feel like I’ve lost one of my only sources of common sense reporting.

Looks like we’re about to get some sick bars on p-values.

Nate looks really happy to be there

So sorry to hear about FiveThirtyEight. You all did amazingly valuable (educating us all about margin of error and correlation) and entertaining work (thinking about those VP candidate drafts).

Clare! The other best person on the podcast besides Galen and Perry.
