Grouping "gig economy" work into "entrepreneurship" points to the conceptual weakness of both frameworks. Thanks to the authors for making this clear.

This coming Monday, October 6th, I'm doing a 1 hour event talking about @equitablegrowth.bsky.social's inequality tracker and new gov data on inequality. Anyone can join, come check it out! (registration link in the next skeet)

I'm in the pocket of Big cafeteria

imo Mamdani shouldn't just campaign for municipal grocery stores, he should add "they also have affordable cafeterias"

fun biking in (place i live) because I'm developing new bad words to yell at drivers who drive like an asshole

Fwiw, decisions like this (and other nativist labor mkt policies) both undercut real wages but also big pushes to increase capital intensity in formerly labor intensive sectors. Who stands to benefit from the second? Mostly big tech

New law: The govt shouldn't be allowed to shitpost

the thing to understand is that for many people the violence of order maintenance is simply not seen as violence in the first place

do lots of cats like sniffing eyeballs,? or is it just tennis shoe?

Tennis Shoe has the same body type, imo

I may mess around and contemplate (again) the ways through which covid made people physically dumber

*extremely smartass voice* "umm actually I think we were already in a recession"

*slept in, because I ate a melatonin* *shaking fist, in the abstract, at my body, in the abstract*

Wild to think, as a "person working in higher ed", how little public funds flow into supporting these institutions and how sensitive the whole ecosystem is to those funds disappearing (and the aid which does exist makes the ecosystem even more sensitive to macro dynamics)

lmao: www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17...

They look like if you asked chat gpt5 to produce pictures of 6 assholes

Tennis Shoe just tried to bite Aurora.. on her ass?

groceries too expensive? try stealing,! Its easy and fun~!

*someone who doesn't understand the saying "ignorance is bliss"*: listen, ignorance is bliss, if trump wants to fudge the jobs numbers a little bit, I think it could be good for everyone,

I've had 1000000 DMs asking me for my contribution to the discourse: JGP is broadly right, but the article needs a better editor and a list of suggested readings

wild to think that there are whole pseudo-academic disciplines like "entrepreneurship studies" and yet many quantitative social scientists still offer their statistical results as derived from divine Truth

not to be political, but for the dems to so aggressively look to betray marginalized peoples in pursuit of electoral victory but also to be so feckless, even in power... astounding! beautiful stuff!

WAYS TO SHOW A HUMAN YOU LOVE THEM 😻 - STEP ON THEIR FACE - STEP ON THEIR RIBS - STEP ON THEM ANYWHERE - LICK THEIR SALTY HUMAN SKIN - STAND CREEPILY BEHIND THEIR HEAD WHILE THEY TRY TO SLEEP - SHOVE YOUR BUTT INTO THEM - PURR

Reskeet if you ❤️ Garlic 🥚

there should be seltzer water for cats... cat croix... la cat..

remember the mantra: don't let the loud assholes drag you down

Valuable to note, here, the expansiveness of "ai", which includes good things like text-to-speech, neutral things like "algorithms", and the widely reviled essay writing LLMs. Most of the benefits the AFT is arguing could come from LLMs are ways teachers can cope with overwork

Maybe it's corny, but it would be nice and good for there to be a system for widespread, substantive, longish term international "exchange" trips (not limited to those enrolled in a university)

Rest In Peace to Philando Divall Castile who was taken from us by police on this day in 2016. (7/16/1983 - 7/6/2016).

Recently read Quinn Slobodian's Crack Up Capitalism--if you want to hear why trumpism is fundamentally neoliberal (and neoliberally fundamentalist), look to the affinity of nRx dorks like Peter Theil and Curtis Yarvin towards the autocracies of Singapore and the UAE

its hard to understate how incoherent the US immigration/naturalization regime is, especially without birthright citizenship. truly vile reminder of that, in this decision

I'm one of 5 economists who is ride or die for rent control... mostly out of spite 😈

I may be the only one brave enough to say that watermelon is epic as hell >:)

program for the socialism conference looks really unappealing. bad news!

the team who made the trailer for 28 years later were writing cheques the film itself couldn't cash. sad!

iirc from my studies of international relations, the rules say that the global hegemon can do a little unilateral strike, as a treat, and you can't do anything proportionate in return

hard to offer much praise for the proliferation of recent "one shot" scenes, which do little (less, even, if the camera work is distracting) and which are far easier to do, with advances in CG. I would like if directors and cinematographers abandoned the fad and instead embraced "making good art"

I don’t know your life but today you smell really odd. Going to need to sniff your mouth. And eyes

this is such a weird paper

easy way to disprove "uptick in autism dx is because of xyz factors, which are recent" is "the average age of someone with a model train set is 65"

Okay, this is epic 😎

yeah I love to go to the store and use some damn coupons

Ithaca teachers hold march, sit-in amid union negotiations ITHACA, N.Y. — Roughly 200 teachers from across the Ithaca City School District (ICSD) marched to the district offices Thursday afternoon ahead of one of the last union bargaining sessions with district leaders. The Ithaca Teachers…

This is terrible but it is also misleading. The US government is not the accreditor - they've basically written a letter to Columbia's *actual* accreditor and demanded that they take action.

i love when cats are like "this thing is too far from my hands but close enough to my face.. .I will bite it" and then they bite it

Whether to speed and how much is simply a function of if I feel like getting somewhere faster. Nothing else to consider.
