Noise I Never Made, Part Two
The second batch of notes were from the time just before Episode 100, where I was revisiting my original concept for Deliberate Noise. The original concept was scrapped due to a long running time.

I Voted
I voted and I found myself overcome with emotion. I didn’t think that the simple act of filling in a circle would affect me as much as it did. If you haven’t voted and still have time to vote, then by all means, do so. If you haven’t voted and it is too late, then…

Forget Bradley, worry about The Blanchard Effect
I am not worried so much about The Bradley Effect as I am The Blanchard Effect. The Bradley Effect posits that an election can be lost despite a large margin due to silent racism. However, despite what some people might think, there is nothing that can be done about that. Those who want to vote…
