Maybe just me but I don’t find LinkedIn very fun.

Causal inference is hard… www.bmj.com/content/391/... @pausalz.bsky.social and @tfeend.bsky.social

As an editor I often see authors fall into a trap of stressing some fancy statistical technique for estimating causal effects. Often neglected are the necessary assumptions to map the data to the estimand. @pausalz.bsky.social and I wrote about it here www.bmj.com/content/391/... #EpiSky

Stuck at jfk after @americanair.bsky.social messed up my connection. No customer service. Fully trash service.

Really enjoying this review of different causal frameworks. arxiv.org/pdf/2511.21516

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

is the pvalue significant? if so i would say frost causes shadow.

I LOLed

This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

beginning to think trump was right and the media are the enemy of the people, just not in the way he thinks.

Perhaps we are at the point where universities should be making themselves much less dependent on microsoft.

As someone currently on the slide I can confirm this is true.

i would not want to be a member of a party that had any room for nazi/hitler sympathy.

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.

This is so fucked up.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

no one deserves to go hungry

i know @pausalz.bsky.social will appreciate this

gotta wonder if we will see Iterated conditional expectation g-formula fall out of fashion due to ::waves hands:: all of this.

same method also works for mike johnson apparently.

The idea that a grown man never thought to Google what his prominent chest tattoo that he probably looked at every day in the mirror actually meant is also not winning my confidence

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

the nypd wants all the money and no accountability. if cops want to quit if Mamdami gets elected i say let them.

artificial is the perfect adjective for UN leadership's 'intelligence.' What a bunch of shitbags. www.dailytarheel.com/article/26e4...

Geez this is fantastic

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

Just spitballing here, but if you're worried about the reaction of a guy if you don't give him the Nobel Peace Prize, YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE GIVING HIM THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

good news @pwgtennant.bsky.social and @pausalz.bsky.social now posit can do everything for us, right?

after reading a ton of trial reports, whether a study is industry funded versus academic can almost perfectly predict whether there is a CONSORT diagram....which i think is weird.

I am reading a trial in a certain journal and it just absolutely floors me that the methods come AFTER the references and a full list of all the very important trial authors. WTH?

wtf?

They're zip tying kids to each other What do you call a country that kidnaps people, including children, & puts them in concentration camps, many of whom then disappear? How would you describe a nation whose government gleefully roughs up reporters & disappears people who it simply dislikes?

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

"No dataset can truly capture the suffering of colleagues killed while doing their job, of hospitals reduced to rubble, or of patients left without care." These research authors describe how their study on war injuries in Gaza was born out of necessity www.bmj.com/content/390/...

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

Radical idea that people running for office tell you their priorities and values and you vote based on that instead of them just telling you what they think you want to hear.

Every. Single. Time. Although i think the falling off the bike is me *truly* learning the method.

Being anti vaccines for babies is one of the surest signs of a declining civilisation. There could be no clearer evidence on childhood vaccination saving lives and preserving health and yet we’re being distracted by debating this issue.

So many people, for some reason, refuse to learn from history, and allow it to repeat itself, can we change that disturbing fact? I don’t know…

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Now this is a great idea!

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59
