To be clear - THIS cycle, @Senate_Fund spent nearly $500k to secure a Green Party candidate who lives in AZ to run in AK. And in '24 AK GOP recruited a prisoner w/ no ties to AK and w/ a NY address to run against Peltola. The AK GOP took legal action to keep him on the ballot.

I asked some Mass Effect Universe devs about this and this isn't even true. There were same sex romances of course, but no flags in the game which isn't even said in the article itself. Totally misleading headline.
BioWare Was Asked to Remove LGBTQ Flag from Canceled Mass Effect Game, Report Says polygon.com/mass-effect-univ…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Polygon headline claims BioWare "was asked to remove LGBTQ flag," but BFM journalist clarifies devs proactively removed a flag resembling (not the actual) Pride flag from a demo to anticipate feedback, not to hide elements. kotaku.com/mass-effect-5-… bfmtv.com/tech/gaming/un… polygon.com/mass-effect-un…

There's something even weirder. For the Gov race, Marist lists 2% undecideds among registered voters. But that jumps to 6% among likely voters! That literally doesn't make sense. You shouldn't have a 3x increase in undecideds in a LV sample; typically, the percentage gets lower.
The other weird thing about that Marist poll in Maine is that their LV version is 10 points off from the polling average in the *governor's* race. And they show Pingree doing worse than Jackson, which no other poll does; the whole Q in Maine is about Susan Collins's strength.

Just for the record: Our final poll of 2024 had Slotkin up 3.7 percentage points, importantly with a significant 6.7% still undecided. detroitnews.com/story/news/p… This poll has El-Sayed up 6.3 points, with only 3.6% undecided. detroitnews.com/story/news/p…

We’re one week out from Election Day and there’s TON to keep track of. Lakshya, Zach & I are doing our best to follow all of the news, polls & early voting trends in every state & district. And Armin has been 100% heads down on Texas. Come nerd out with us tonight at 8:30pm ET!
Excited to announce that @lxeagle17, @Thorongil16, @admcrlsn, and I will host three X Spaces ahead of next Tuesday’s midterm elections to discuss polling, forecasts, early voting, and more. We’ll also take your questions along the way. We’ll stay flexible on topics, but here’s the rough plan: Tuesday, October 27 | 8:30–10 p.m. We’ll break down the state of play in the House and Senate, national polling, demographic trends, and the persuasion and turnout dynamics we’re watching. Friday, October 30 | 8:30–10 p.m. With early voting nearly complete across most key states, we’ll discuss what we’ve learned, including a close look at Texas with @Thorongil16. We’ll also talk about what the emerging electorate means for whom candidates need to persuade to win. Monday, November 2 | 7:30 p.m. – ??? Our final thoughts, a breakdown of key races, and what to watch as results come in Tuesday night. We’ll help you get ready to follow election night like a pro.

I try to avoid criticizing other pollsters much nowadays, but this is ridiculous. This is basically just what you do if you don't believe your polls and don't have the guts to stand by your numbers. Democrats aren't doing 7% worse with likely voters in 2026.
Marist just released its final poll of Maine—& they're doubling down on their now-trademark gap between registered & likely voters. —Jackson leads Collins 49% to 47% among LVs. —He's up 53% to 44% among RVs. (Marist's poll 3 weeks ago had Jackson leading 51/47 among RVs.)

Alright. My plan is to release the re-scored Mass Effect Universe trailer for N7 Day. A little tight, since I'm a bit busy pitching for a new game, but I'll see what I can do! I don't wanna rush it, and I want it to properly represent my musical vision for MEU.

Huge democratic breakthrough in Serbia tonight, followed by a Lula win in Brazil! Amazing day for democratic renewal. Bad day for illiberal populists.

Jayson Tatum is and has been one of the best clutch time players in the NBA since he entered it in 2017. The only people who refute this objective fact are those who just try and pretend his career doesn't exist

This is pretty much what we're seeing everywhere re: under 45s but its mostly coming from a big, gaping turnout differential this year. I have never seen anything like it in my 9 years of analyzing elections. Ever.
The latest NYT poll shows how much the BIG Dem leads are built upon gains among younger cohorts. And this is shift in two-way support, translating to ~nearly 40-point and 20-point changes in margin (two-way margin, but still) for under 30 and 30-44.

We need to follow the example of the Destiny community! Use #SaveMassEffect and #MassEffectIsAlive, encourage your friends to join the fight, and let's keep making noise and organizing to save Mass Effect! There's always hope. ❤️
A purported BioWare developer has leaked a trailer for the cancelled ME 5 on Reddit. The footage, reportedly titled "MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE," appears to suggest the project was further along in development. Its authenticity remains unverified. #MassEffect

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

IDK, it seems like certain pollsters are concerned their samples are too D, maybe for good reasons and maybe not, and are using their likely voter models to curb that.
