American politics is currently stuck in a state way more paranormal than the Twilight Zone: the Polarization Paradox😵‍💫.

The inaugural piece (and first of a series!) in my newsletter, Somewhat Unlikely:

The polarization paradox

Most political outcomes in America today are predictable. Yet politics deeply feels like a chaotic unpredictable mess. Which story is true?

I'm excited to be one of the speakers for the @rstatsai R Gov conference a month from now (Oct 19) at Georgetown University! 📈

I'll be debuting a new version of LocalView (localview.net) -- a civic tech / politics platform I co-founded that provides real-time analytics on local policy-making in the US -- and talking about how I built it almost entirely in R.

Check out the illustrious line-up of (other) speakers and tune in!

#introduction Greetings Mastodon-ers! I’m a #politicalscience Ph.D. candidate at #Harvard and I do research on political communication and computational social science. I’m thinking a lot these days about: how #corporations “talk” about politics and who their audience is, how #media coverage actually works in campaigns, and better ways to do #election #polling. If you are also part of this hivemind or are generally cool let’s hive(?) together (i.e. follow me!!)!
