maybe this is a bit much, but i judge schools by how good their library access to journals is.

have you tried turning it off and on again?

if you use public funds to pillage academics for athletics, you too can have two teams in the Final Four

100% on board with this plan

A new pre-print, led by one of the many students I am lucky to work with. It describes an extension of g-computation for studying causal effects on recurrent events (eg, hypertension) where there are competing events (eg, death) arxiv.org/abs/2603.10169

I hate what we're doing in Venezuela I hate what we're doing in Iran I hate what we're doing in America I cannot wait until the people in this regime are gone

turns out these are not what you might expect.

Watching hegseth describe all the military assets the us has destroyed. It’s so so dumb. He is listing them off but …to what end, what is the point? Is this what he thinks makes him a tough guy? It’s like a HS student bragging about beating up a weak grade school student .

WTF is even the point of this? Dudes in power just like killing whales?

one of the rep candidates in nc is running on a platform of supporting masculinity, but i thought getting support was emasculating. very confusing indeed

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

On the plus side I recently started a position where I finally have access to one of my fav journals, stats in medicine. It’s a small consolation amidst a mountain of miserable news.

Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

In these dark times this is legitimately hilarious.

I would argue that the womens hockey team both played better than the men (who got lucky, imo since canada was playing better overall) and are also better at representing the US right now given their declining to meet with ...him

make principled per protocol analysis a thing

“The answer to why powerful people in some other parts of the world face consequences, while in America they rarely do, is that elite impunity is an American national project,” Adam Serwer writes:

New paper by @jeremylabrecque.bsky.social and Katrina. Guidance and rationale on how to report causal Qs in research papers. I wrote an editorial with colleagues (www.bmj.com/content/392/...) too. I encourage anyone interested in writing an RMR for BMJ to reach out and discuss. #Episky #Medsky

if you have a ring camera, get rid of it

This thread makes me feel sad and outraged, and powerless. These poor poor children.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

FUCK ICE

How the Eff am I supposed to focus these days?

me to my daughter asking what she did in first grade: "We did estimation" my daughter asking me what i did in graduate school: "i estimated things" not much different from first grade tbh.

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
