YAMAMOTO MVP 💪

Hot streak can't lose

how is it that the fastest, cheapest way to go home for the holidays is paying $600 to fly to salt lake city and then driving 3 and a half hours to another state? in what world is this optimal

apparently my cat's new hobby is performing psychological experiments on my parents

It's really unfortunate that my proustian effect is listening to ARASHI because they are undoubtedly one of the worst bands I've ever heard

underrated privilege of being an RA is that no one expects your research ideas to work. there's literally no better time to be wrong about stuff

tfw when you've been released from stata jail

cute story but what are you going to do about the bias in your local projections

I too am like an instant pot in that I cook under pressure but there's a small chance that I just explode instead

There's a certain adrenaline fueled desperation that leads to a profound epiphanic sense of clarity and understanding at 11:42pm that AI simply cannot replicate

love how californian one battle after another is. It's got palm trees, weed, driving way over the speed limit, a bad guy that looks like gavin newsom, I could go on

this diva is old enough to drive now!! she will pick me up from the airport. I trust her with my life

The Beatles: You never give me your money / You only give me your funny paper Me: that's literally what money is?? Were u expecting gold bars? In a fiat currency society???

"taylor is the queen of pop" "sabrina is the queen of pop" wrong. the queen of pop is and always will be paul mccartney

wow literally the evilest politician I know of is expected to be the next prime minister of japan hahahaha wowie

Why pay to watch one battle after another when you can experience it for free managing your python packages

It's a little known fact that there are actually 11 UC campuses. Many forget to count UC Hicago

I like how econ is the dumping ground for all the ppl who like econ related skills (math, programming, writing) but not enough to do that for 40+ hours a week like I only know 1-2 ppl who were like yes I was born to study the economy

love how union market looks Like That

in addition to costing $220 + an $8 processing fee per GRE test it also costs $40 per school to send your scores. I am going to Scream

just saw a pigeon that was hopelessly lost in union station and honestly I can kinda relate on like a spiritual level

normal brain: r&r stands for rest and relaxation big brain: r&r stands for revise and resubmit galaxy brain: r&r stands for Romer and Romer (2004)

my upstairs neighbor has either decided to open a bowling alley in her home or adopt godzilla from the sound of it

I attained enlightenment today (learned how state space models actually work)

my meager italian skills finally paid off in today's seminar when one italian got flamed for suggesting that barilla pasta might be italian

Who's this diva

me: *talking about training a junior RA* my japanese mom: あ分かった you're karen-senpai now 😁 me: never say that to me again

Student: I don't get the point of models they're all super unrealistic and not grounded in reality at all Me: I see. Have you read the short story "On Exactitude in Science" by Jorge Luis Borges? Student: what does that have to do with literally anything

Telling the Fed it’s “independent”—as long as it does what the White House wants—is like telling my kids they can make any choice they want… and grounding them if I don’t like it. That’s not independence; that’s control by another name.

I wonder if we hurt the probability distribution's feelings when we call it fat tailed

Hear me out: 20 years from now we make a gameshow where young adults are given headlines from 2025 and they need to guess if it's the onion or real news

Freddie Mercury: do whatever you like with my music, just don't make me boring Japanese marketing exec: ok bet youtu.be/BkCCEwouNKU?...

porco rosso combines miyazaki's 3 great loves: flying, seaside towns, and italians

briefly experienced hell today (got stuck in an elevator with legal and hr)

you're having a movie night themed planes, trains, and automobiles what do you pick? the more out of pocket the better (this started a huge argument at dinner) mine: porco rosso, north by northwest, taxi

Me: what can I say sometimes I'm a hater just for the love of it Friend, nodding: yeah you got that Gavin Newsom spirit in you

tfw when your parents move to literal hell and now you gotta pay $1100 to spend christmas in idaho

when your dad refuses to learn how to text so you occasionally get random emails

RTO? more like RT-Oh no

silence from the white house is the american version of playing swan lake on loop

Everyone's getting excited cos they know it's almost time to rewatch Over the Garden Wall.

the universe wants me to struggle (I did not win the billion dollar powerball)

a cat! to take your mind off of *waves hand* all this

just watched all the president's men and I fully believe that if nixon were still alive today he'd be the most prominent, world class trump hater solely for the reason that trump seems to get away with infinitely worse schemes than he did

Over 125 economists signed the open letter calling on the President, Congress, and the American public to uphold the principles of Federal Reserve independence and not remove Lisa Cook without due process. There's still time to sign! And please share. #EconSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...
