My take on Activision Blizzard: If the company wants to change, it should start by firing a significant portion of its thoroughly polluted executive team. Threading it out:
I’ve been preoccupied with my health lately, so I haven’t said anything about Activision Blizzard, a company I know and have worked with (for example, I led the teams that did WotC’s RPG adaptations of Starcraft and Diablo).

HREAD: This may not be a popular opinion, given that not taking the Senate could be devastating for the progressive agenda and for so many vulnerable people. But after looking at it mathematically, I think this was a pretty good election for Democrats. With three important exceptions (see below), the actual blue performance was moderate to good. I’m comparing it to our overperformance in 2018, why it wasn’t reasonable to expect that this time, and why it might be in 2022.

@ForecasterEnten You're certainly more of an expert than I am, but let me try?

Let me start by saying what you know: polling and betting markets ask fundamentally different questions (1/4). @ForecasterEnten Polling asks “Who will you vote for?” It’s an individual choice. A site like @cnn or @fivethirtyeight does some math and adds that to fundamentals and comes to a conclusion of what would happen if all those people did what they say in likely turnout. Simple and smart. (2/4)

In the new #TheBatmanTrailer, the Riddler leaves a card with the question “What does a liar do when he’s dead?” I could just solve it like a riddle (and did), but it’s a good opportunity to show how to solve a puzzle by brute force, so you’re sure of the answer. Here goes. (1/12) The characters here are in this pattern:

123425 56433

I will presume the line break is meant to be a word break, though that doesn’t presume no other word breaks exist. (2/12)

THREAD: Big change happens when little people make big errors. Say, the fall of the Berlin Wall, which began 30 years ago today. (1/20) You may think of it as a decision by Mikhail Gorbachev to end the Cold War after a speech by Ronald Reagan demanding he "tear down this wall." It was not. It was in fact a bumbling comedy of foolishness and misunderstandings that changed the world forever. (2/20)
