The amount of McDonald’s reward points to redeem items went up and no one is talking about this mcflation

@SeanTrende Oh for goodness sakes, it’s bc they’re eating marijuana gummies instead of drinking

I actually do wonder how much of this is prescription related. I basically stopped drinking when I started taking a sleep aid. My middle son takes an anti-anxiety med, and it's basically been drilled into him for years that if he samples alcohol it could kill him.

It's remarkable how many independent, secular trends are anti-alcohol right now. Just off the top of my head - GLP-1s - post-1970s rise of helicopter parenting - reaction to the binge-drinking spike in late 20th c - phones killing teenage partying - surge in young adult fitness (dancing clubs down, running clubs up) - general rise of healthmaxxing culture among both liberal yuppies and MAHA devotees

@alexlundry That’s a great line Alex! Don’t get too mad at me when I use it without attribution!! :)

Synthetic respondents are like teen sex: everyone's talking about it but nobody's doing it, and anyone that is actually doing it, is probably doing it (very) badly.

@CarrollDoherty @Gallup Yes. Been tracking this for 30+ years and this incredibly wide gender difference has been consistently true. Correct. Massive difference by gender re: relative risk tolerance
English
Wow - I can't recall an issue on which there's been a gender gap this large:
In new @Gallup survey, 60% of men say they'd favor a nuclear power plant being built in their area vs. just 31% of women.
Wide age differences too, suggesting older adults may be thinking of nuke accidents in 70s, 80s.

@danbalz Can’t wait to read it — hope your book does great! :)

Time to pre order.

An Inconvenient Widow is out May 19. Preorder now: tinyurl.com/yc5uud3s I spent years digging through letters, court transcripts, and archives to find the real Mary Todd Lincoln. What I found was someone brilliant, politically sharp, and ahead of her time — erased almost entirely by men who got her wrong.

Fun fact: The first time the federal government tried to measure unemployment was for the 1880 census. They considered anybody 10 or older as potentially part of the labor force!

@ScottWRasmussen @BlueBoxDave Your point stands, but small correction: 860 of the 1000 interviews were on Saturday (war had started overnight) through Tu, the beginning days of the war. The main point: the enormous shift among Democrats I believe would still be visible now as well.

Israel has lost just 2 points in public support among Republicans since 2013. The antisemitic podcasters are having no impact because they are an information operation not a real phenomenon.
Jacob N. Kornbluh@jacobkornbluh
NBC poll: 57% of Democrats have a negative view of Israel. 54% of Republicans view Israel positively. Only 17% of Democratic voters sympathize with Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In our recent @NBCNews polling, Democrats are now far more likely to say they sympathize with the Palestinians instead of the Israelis, with 67% of Dems being more sympathetic to the Palestinians, compared to just 17% who say the Israelis. Additionally, two-thirds of Dems have a negative view of Israel, up from 35% in just 2023.
Speaking on the topic, Partner Bill McInturff (@pollsterguy) said, "this is unrecognizable in terms of where America was, and the Democratic Party was, for a 20-, 30-year history." He also noted that this will have implications on the 2028 Democratic primary, saying that it is "going to be fought on very, very different terrain in regards to the issue of Israel."

In the latest NBC News Poll we find that America today is dispirited and angry. 59% of Americans agree that the economic + political systems in the country are stacked against people like me. This ties a record high on this measure (April 1992).

The latest @NBCNews poll shows remarkably stable results on political attitudes 8 months out from the midterm elections. Also covered is a first image check on a handful of Democratic candidates for 2028, new data on voting, military action in Iran, and artificial intelligence.

@CarrollDoherty @jpodhoretz Good Chinatown reference Carroll. :)

RIP Bud Cort, who had a tough life. But it must be said. HAROLD AND MAUDE is one of the creepiest movies ever made and people seem to think it’s charming or something. I have found this inexplicable for half a century.

You can’t have powerful trend without having thought to ask the baseline question years earlier! Good work here and an important result.
