lol this is great, can't wait to embarrass all the masters students with my syntax, no cap fr fr hadley.github.io/genzplyr/

And The Band Played On - heartbreaking and infuriating story of the early AIDS epidemic Flowers for Algernon - what really matters in life? The Stranger by Camus - short but wild The Dispossessed by Le Guin - beautiful and challenging and recently: Martyr! by Akbar - an almost perfect book

We wrote the Strain on scientific publishing to highlight the problems of time & trust. With a fantastic group of co-authors, we present The Drain of Scientific Publishing: a 🧵 1/n Drain: arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820 Strain: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... Oligopoly: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...

I will be replying to every journal rejection now with “my science is different”

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

I guess Flat Fuck Friday came early…….

it was lightly snowing on my walk in this morning. it is november 11.

"...while 66 percent of people who were arrested and locked up before bail reform were ultimately rearrested on other charges, that rearrest rate dropped in the post-reform years to 57 percent for those who were arrested on the same charges but released." hellgatenyc.com/bail-reform-...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

A real banner week for Chuck Schumer, given that only a few days ago he refused to back the Democratic nominee for mayor of his home city.

Not going to let the Senate Democrats ruin my Sunday night. That’s the job of overwhelming anxiety about the coming week ahead.

What is mamdani’s plan to tackle the 7soulsdeep situation

do you think kathy hochul is going to be calling mayor mamdani for support now that stefanik is running against her? I bet that last rally at forest hills is going to be bright in her mind

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Another person who started down this path from the most “innocuous” advertised uses of ChatGPT: homework help. I have been struck by the cases of people getting lost in delusions after using this product for work or school: ie the use cases we are supposed to encourage as faculty.

The advances we've made in statistics, experimental study design, and causal inference over the past century are remarkably useful for understanding our world. But there is never been a push to make people use them like we are seeing with generative AI. Perhaps take a moment to consider why.

best ending of all time, let's be real

don't. walk your bike on the sidewalk if it's not safe to ride in the street. but it bears repeating, the biggest danger to pedestrians and cyclists alike are cars, and until we take away space from vehicles and give them to micromobility, people will get hurt and die every day.

desperately need a high budget 30-for-30 on NBA halftime shows

And people really want to act like NBA League Pass isn't GOATed.

I fear I have reached the "considering applying for jobs I don't have time to work" stage of dissertation procrastination

What I like about this piece is that this advice also works for academia and research amandalitman.substack.com/p/6-things-e...

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

I'm so pissed I can't find a copy anywhere lol

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

This person took this when they called the race

last thought for tonight: this win wouldn’t be possible without thousands of individual people, but one in particular I want to thank is @bradlander.bsky.social. a true public servant in the truest sense, we wouldn’t have won without him and his advocacy for Zohran. we win together or not at all

wow. cuomo concedes and says congrats to Zohran, entire crowd bursts into jeers and boos, and to his credit he says “no, no, that is not us.” I mean could have fooled me these past few weeks but sure

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

(to the tune of Eleanor Rigby) 🎶socialist muslim🎶

please cut to a live feed of cuomo right now. someone. anyone

permission to lib out your honor

MAYOR MAMDANI LETS FUCKIN GOOOOO

I’m libbing out

popped in to check out how Fox News is handling tonight and Laura Ingraham is visibly coping and seething already lol gonna be a fun night!

now that's what I call a Mamdani endorsement. Don't threaten New Yorkers with a good time, Dave. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

getting dave portnoy out of new york is one of the most compelling arguments in favor of zohran

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

BDB deserves the image rehab that gw bush got. he's just a chill guy!

my ideal election results would be zohran clearing 50% and sliwa beating cuomo, but I will settle for whatever version of a Mamdate we end up getting

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

simple way to respond to these people: they want the democratic candidate for mayor, in a very democratic city, to lose. the simplest explanation is that they are not democrats, they are republicans. proceed accordingly

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

Imagine seeing Dick Fucking Cheney anywhere outside of an iron maiden in Hell and finding something to be nostalgic about? www.welcometohellworld.com/god-will-pun...

Locked in with @arimelber.bsky.social.

Much like when Kissinger died, I thought Cheney's passing would be more satisfying. It never is though. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of innocent people died because of Cheney & his cronies, & there's no undoing that.
