what kind of a country even is this

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

This is super, super sad. I did not agree with the guy's politics, but no one should be murdered for their beliefs. My heart is with his family and friends. RIP. 💔

STOP Gun violence. Praying for Charlie Kirk and family.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread. The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.

Just to say this plainly: what you're looking at here is a federal police force accountable only to the president rolling up to intimidate the governor of California as he announces his plan to counter a federal legislative coup out of Texas which will ensure their permanent presence in our streets

This is one of the most econ things ive ever seen (laudatory)

Zohran is not in a rent controlled unit, you doofus. He is in a rent stablized unit, and if you don't know the difference, you don't have any business running for mayor.

Does where you go to high school affect whether you vote as an adult? My working paper estimating high school effects on civic engagement is now posted on Annenberg: edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1260.

The Columbia deal is incredibly disappointing. For those of us here--faculty and students--trying every day to do good work, it's a huge blow. But "the discourse" is also demoralizing for two reasons: it assumes the choice was simple and it seems to blame all at Columbia. 1/6

How does unreliable urban transport disproportionately limit women’s access to higher education—and can infrastructure fixes close the gap? @falbav.bsky.social , @wakeforest.bsky.social , discusses: faculti.net/transport-ba... #economics

I've seen editors of journals say this before but being on the other side can confirm: the easiest zero-cost way to speed up the review process is to quickly turn down requests to review that you can't do.

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

Trivia for your next pub quiz — or perhaps trade negotiation: The United States already has a free trade agreement with Canada. It's called USMCA, and was negotiated by President Trump.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

nyt op-ed: we cannot normalize the left’s brazen attempt to win voters by talking to them

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Our work now published showing how better AI can improve both accuracy and diversity in hiring relative to supervised learning tools and status-quo human hiring.

Never has any leader had so many people wanting to make the argument that “not wearing any clothes actually makes the emperor better dressed if you think about it.”

Trump administration: We’ll beat China by destroying everything that makes us competitive with China.

Throwing 6,800 young people's lives into chaos is a shameful and un-American way to make whatever point they think they're making. Even if quickly blocked, international students will feel more precarious than ever.

This is the stuff of authoritarian regimes. There isn't even the pretense that this is anything but persecution, unbound by law.

George McJunkin, cowboy born to slaves in Midway Texas, was the first to find and recognize the significance of Folsom points, which pushed back the arrival of humans to the Americas to at least 10,000 BC (at the time the consensus view was that the Americas were uninhabited until 1,000 BC or so)

Overleaf went down as I was editing my slides the morning of my seminar. AMA!

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

Criminalizing opposition is how Putin, Erdoğan, Orbán, and so many other authoritarian strongmen ended democracy. Conservative and Liberal Americans do not want to live in a country where the President can pervert state power to crush opponents. We reject this lawless rampage.

Brain drain is picking up speed. Someone as good as Doepke gives you a sense of the kind of loss we can expect for US academia going forward…

Timeline cleanse: US Postal Service is selling Goodnight Moon Stamps.
