I haven't read fivethirtyeight.com in a long time, but I returned tonight and first found a bunch of poker articles that seemed like they were written by me around 4 years ago. In fact, Nate Silver's poker story sounds eerily similar to me for reasons I can't QUITE grasp (it sounds identical). But then I went on to an article about the loss of GDP due to climate change and it's just so well done I wanted to puke. It just goes to show that statistics are only as good as the people interpreting them.
Also, I shall check out this zine you speak of.
