Came back in time to see the lead change twice in the last few seconds …

During the playoffs, overtime … thanks

This tracks: freshman year spring break we went to the Price is Right, & my friend got called up & just missed out on winning a truck … Bob was like “yeah, you got bad advice from your friend with the funny hair” That was me, I had twists & was locking my hair 🙃

Not “50 grand I get this on one take”

He said: 🤷🏼

Happening now: anti-war protestors are gathereing in Chicago's Congress Plaza for a demonstration against ongoing U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. Tonight's rally follows a similar protest in Chicago on Saturday; other anti-war actions are being planned across the city over the week.

What good can you do today? What trouble can you cause? What suffering can you ease? What needs to exist, and can you help build it?

We’ve kidnapped one head of state and assassinated another, and then we wonder why …

People are out grilling in Chicago … I tell you what …

These tech companies know everything about me … except my cookie preferences 🤔

Just catching the tribute to D’Angelo and Roberta Flack … phew Lauryn Hill from NJ, btw … And Bilal is a bad man …

Q: There’s a regression with three coefficients: b1, b2, b3 A theory says b1 > b2 > b3 What statistical test should I perform to test this joint prediction? The point estimates are such that b3 > b1 > b2, if that matters

ICE also shot a woman here in Chicago, whom they made similar claims against. She didn't die, despite being shot multiple times, and the charges against her were eventually dropped, because the stories they tell to justify their violence are always bullshit and never hold up under scrutiny.

The Yo! MTV Raps channel is cool …

This Kansas game is wild …

Two words Carol Sturka: con-sent … 😬

Ok, 5 minutes later, Carol is digging an even deeper hole … she is lost in the sauce … “you are mine?”

I’ve been defending Carol all season … halfway through the finale and I’m ’bout done … maybe humanity won’t make it, but her behavior is unacceptable …

My Pluribus take is that, yes she’s made some missteps, but Carol is essentially correct. That’s not controversial is it?

Knicks: best record in the league 🏀

It’s not every day we interview one of our own directors on the Podcast, but when we do, it’s worth a listen. @durlauf.bsky.social talks with @nomadj1s.bsky.social about household finance, UBI, editing a special issue of the JEL, and what an individualistic perspective might omit. 🎧→ bit.ly/4qlcFOt

I invite you to listen to this conversation with my wonderful colleague @nomadj1s.bsky.social, Associate Director of @ucstonecenter.bsky.social, in which we explore the many interesting facts of his research ranging from racial inequality to consumer behavior.

One nitpick: I don’t know if Coogi was poppin’ like that in ‘92

OMG SINNERS …

They don’t want race used taught, or studied in higher Ed, or K12, AND are upset that a Smithsonian museum claims that race is a social construct and not a biological trait 🤔

So universities cannot take race into account, but then … 🤔

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

A judge said Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia graduate whose arrest by ICE sparked outrage, couldn't be deported without a court order.

Now hold on just a minute:

They are doing so much destruction down there, across the board …

My kind of carrying on …

Did not know this was Angie Stone … foundational hip hop … RIP: open.spotify.com/track/1Q0oJ2...
