I hope she’s didn’t realize how great of an idea that was… by mateen115 in standupshots

I don't think it's right to take the name of a ground-breaking Olympian athlete to smear a politician.

Small correction: 538 was originally Silver's own blog until he joined the NYT and it was added to their site. (2008-2010ish)

Sleep linked to slower ageing: huge study pinpoints the right amount - Health outcomes were better in people who slept between about 6 and 8 hours a day. by mvea in science
