    Yes it's a very silly thing. The map is basically just saying "Trump is at 32% approval" or whatever, projected by county, and for some reason, people find this one number more convincing when translated into a map, that conveys no more information.

    I keep seeing these kinds of maps but there’s no way this data actually exists. It’s gotta be modeled based on prior electoral results and current polls, I assume national. Genuine question: Is this an accepted/respected type of analysis or just statistical voodoo?

    "[genre] was always punk/queer/leftist" vs. "[genre] was always corporate/copaganda/fascist" is boring me, can we just say everything is always both and move on.

    They actually only saw "Gone With The Wind" that many times over many years of re-releases and roadshows, not just over 1939-40.

    Ticket sales are people. That's why Gone with the Wind is still the highest-grossing movie adjusted for inflation - the sheer number of people who saw it in 1939-40 are such that if they all saw it today at modern ticket prices it would have grossed twice what Avengers: Endgame
