Camels! That's a presidential agenda, right there.

🚨 JOB MARKET PAPER ALERT! 🚨 Why do firms provide different workplace amenities? And how does amenity provision affect labor market inequality? 🧵

Gold.

I saw one squirrel chasing another squirrel and when it caught up the little rascal began to fly! I thought, is this a Superman-Lois Lane type situation? Alas, the chasing squirrel was indeed a falcon. Still exciting…except for Lois.

Go read a little something by @stephenking.bsky.social! It’s always fun, and this little game is also fun! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Pumpkins! The girls did it all.

This lowly tool is the best carving tool there is.

Climate change hits hardest poor people in hot places. We need to help them not be so poor and help them not be so hot. Neither climate change, nor malaria, nor malnutrition will decimate civilization. Nevertheless, we need to solve all of these problems. www.gatesnotes.com/home/home-pa...

We’ve received the greatest honor today. We were bestowed Best Halloween Decoration by a little kid, whose identity, like those of the best critics, remains unknown.

Make sure that on this World Economist Day you call your local economists to tell them how much you appreciate them.

We could get rid of half of the radiative forcing of climate caused by aviation if we could get airlines to stop making contrails, mostly by flying a few thousand feet higher or lower. New open-access paper from a climate physics perspective. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Some days I wake up and I ma 100% with it. On the ball. Some other days…

At this point, for the tasks I am working on, Sonnet 4.5 is significantly better than ChatGPT 5.

There is something very special about experiencing collective grief. It really can shape a generation. Like the death of Artax in the Neverending Story.

We just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving." Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.

Stop worrying about flying to conferences. Most methane released in academia is the direct result of bullshit.

The final step in the Bari Weiss cancellation process is now complete.

Morning walk. Best dog.

Reminds me of how sometimes people make a technical argument when there is a much more fundamental conceptual point.

Apparently the NYTimes doesn’t know how round tables work. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/u...

I’ve already grilled 20 more of these! Pizza so good.

This is by far the best brisket I’ve ever done.

Vacationing hard.

A cocktail lounge called Pour Choices. I need investors.

I don’t often wake up at 6am during my holidays, but when I do, it’s only for the brisket.

Comedian Jerry Wayne Longmire discussing a Texas electricity bill as if he were in a Faulkner novel. TXU is the Texas utility company and HEB is a Texas grocery store chain. Funniest thing I have heard in a while. www.youtube.com/shorts/EeZjq...
