If google gave a shit about their users, the top hits for any hotel wouldn't be sketchy intermediary booking sites. It's a perfect example of enshittification.

@mark-carney.bsky.social This is utterly baffling. You were going to get your majority one way or another. Why would you bring one of the most batshit crazy anti-vaxxer SoCons in Canadian politics into your party? You did not need Gladu, and any respectable political party shouldn't want her.

In all seriousness this is a huge issue with the subsidized right wing bullshit machine. Articles written by well-funded news “foundations” are syndicated out with no paywalls. This is subsequently rewarded in several ways.

Just did my 1st peer review of an AI-generated paper. There was enough formatting/citation weirdness in the manuscript to make me run Opus 4.6 for an academic integrity check. Sure enough, hallucinations everywhere. This is the new normal. 🤦‍♂️ (I'm also aware of the irony of using AI to catch AI!)

OpenAI is the new Tesla.

Really cool that the players association negotiated for this! 🏀

This might be the best 3 minute political speech I have ever heard.

A clever - but fiendish - business model.

In a mild sociology subtweet, I'll quote @ashleytrubin.bsky.social and say "you don't need to add conservatives to fix a field, you just need to excise the bullshit."

Sloppelganger will be in Merriam-Webster within 5 years.

Personally, I'd prefer to be Taylor Swift's full-time boyfriend over another year of CTEball, but that's just me...

I assumed this was a joke about a chyron typo, because Bam Adebayo actually scoring 83 in a game is nonsensical.

A valuable and timely critique (among many) of the American Sociological Association.

Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense

There are real issues higher ed needs to address, but the outrage porn that you see on social media, Fox, etc. is just not at all typical

The Supreme Court:

New piece for @heterodoxacademy.bsky.social on multiverse analysis: What happens when you run thousands of models on the same data instead of just the one that made it into the paper? Turns out disagreement in science is a feature, not a bug. heterodoxacademy.substack.com/p/how-multiv...

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Pol Pot killed 3 million people. Vought and Musk have him beat three times over.

"Crowd watching...in stunned silence..."

I'm imagining the bulk commercial sulfuric acid industry is even tighter-lipped than the Swiss banking sector.

The best of Dutch bluntness and worst of British politeness: 🇳🇱: "JD Vance is getting booed. People are unhappy about ICE." 🇬🇧: "Mixed reception to JD Vance, I don't want to be contentious."

Spectacular photojournalism: You can see how Vonn clipping the gate with her right pole sent her flying off-balance.

Low salaries are common in state legislatures, and are an interesting - but often pernicious - wrinkle to typical "Politics as a Vocation" stories.

This would be comical if it wasn't for the grievous awfulness of ICE.

I guess this puts financially bailing out Francesca Gino into perspective. 🤦‍♂️

Trump can take our half of Hans Island from our cold, dead hands! 🍁🍁🍁

Turns out, Bill Ackman is funding Francesca Gino's legal bills. The Data Colada folks had people generously chipping in to a GoFundMe. Gino has a billionaire. (From a 4,100(!) word Tweet from Ackman's X account)

lmao jfc

The only true way is the Canadian way (As much as I wish it was a joke, it is in fact not one and this is exactly how it works here)

The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

Time to Streisand Effect the hell out of this.

Go to a gym, press some buttons to have robots lift the weights, then wonder why you’re not any stronger

Did a fun, short podcast for @asanews.bsky.social, where I talk about #Jeopardy and social science, based on my new @spquarterly.bsky.social article:

How do we reverse this decline? 🤔 (Not being facetious: Those 30-second ads universities get during college football games are sometimes really effective.)

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

I'm like 90% sure that's an innocent typo. 85%

The anti-vaxxer coach who got fired from Washington State ended up at *Cal* of all places?!? 🤨 #berkeley

This deserves the Pulitzer Prize in Pettiness. 🏆

Lawrence Lessig is more credulous as a podcast host than Joe Rogan.

“Interested in my commentary on her outfits.” I absolutely guarantee she was not.

Probably fewer women in economics because they’re just not as smart, right, Larry?

I hope the TAMU faculty spam the holy hell out of the president's email.
