He and Ezra Klein have similar arcs. Ezra just posts a lot less. Probably because he works for an established media outlet while Yglesias works for himself. That feels like the rub for me. I think Matty has been pretty consistent over the years, especially recently tbh.

PSG looked pretty good for a warmup game but how will they do in the pinnacle of all club competitions against the Seattle Sounders

Excited, proud, and humbled to see my NFL Draft work covered in the Washington Post!

Screenshot of the linked Quarto website, with input checkboxes to change different conditions for a regression model that predicts economic performance based on US political party, with a reported p-value

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

I'm back in the blogging game with my first original writing in a bit (that isn't a mock draft) about what to make of #GrindingTheMocks data at this point in the cycle and Quinn Ewers's just-made decision to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft. Enjoy!

Liverpool's defense in the early season has been fantastic.

Only one xG conceded above the league average.
Only two xG deficits, from which they did not lose.

And they're currently holding Spurs to under a goal of xG.

[As a Spurs fan,] Yikes.
