The end result of me not going to conferences since COVID seems to be that I rarely get invited to do things and Russians are flooding my inbox with poorly done research.

Petition to redefine Midwest as Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota. Michigan and Wisconsin clearly belong to the Great Lakes Region along with parts of Canada. The Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas are the Great Plains states. Prove me wrong.

Is it just me or is the ASA program thin? Seems like a lot fewer sessions than a decade ago.

Stop blaming the professors and look instead at the pollsters and party hacks who have turned Democratic candidates into robots repeating "Kitchentableissues, kitchentableissues, bleep blorp." That's what voters hate. [end]

Many people say social media is what ruined the 21st century, but I'd like to nominate reality TV instead. Without reality TV we wouldn't have Trump, the Kardashians, influencers chasing stardom, weird rich people faces, MAHA, and probably lots of other things.

Steyer continues to be strong. Becerra is a bit gray (Davis). Porter is a knife fighter but not an administrator. Mahan is... well, I don't know. And Villariagosa is California's Eric Adams

Porter isn't wrong about building housing being the most important issue facing the state. Take that my NIMBY neighbor who is ironically a real estate agent.

I didn't catch who said it, but one of the candidates just criticized the moderator. Bianco: I'm not sure I'm up here anymore. Someone: Neither are any of us.

I'm pleasantly surprised by Steyer. He's not bad at getting his say in clearly. Becerra is missing in action.
