I thought this was @statsepi.bsky.social finally seeing the essay of grievances against the highly disadvantaged professor from harvard but this is a whole new dumpster fire.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

happy 9th anniversary to this unintentional bit of improv comedy

Birthright citizenship is pretty clear. No one should ever listen to anything the justices that voted against have to say.

What is most galling about this is just how cheap it is to buy off these politicians.

I've gone this far without learning what sunk-cost fallacy is, so I'm not starting now.

Anyone out there use a Boox e-reader and Zotero to read papers? if so hit me up, im curious about your experience #episky #medsky #academicsky

This is a fun thread

"Broken eggs cannot be mended. To try to do so, to try to return to some notion of normality is to court failure. Worse, it is to play a repeat of the last ... administration when, in pursuit of the familiar, ... all but passed the baton back to reactionaries working toward something revolutionary."

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

I agree with this. Saying “having them somewhere” means it would be ok in the supplement and that is wrong imo. I would instead increase the size of the methods section and move the discussion to the supplement.

Some day in the not too distant future journals will just publish titles of papers, no details, everything in supplement.

Sad news. I met and had the opportunity to have dinner with Richard once and it was a fantastic time. I was looking forward to meeting up with him again in the future. RIP.

how do people look at what Mamdani is doing and not think "I want a leader like that for me?"

the future belongs to countries that can think past the next quarter, always has

Biden's presidency and the aftermath we're living through should be enough to destroy the "let's the turn page, let's look forward, let's move on" mantra that has animated centrist Democrats for decades now. Accountability matters. There has to be a reckoning.

I don’t think the White House Correspondents Association Dinner is a ritual that defines democracy

All the bombs in the history of the world going off couldn't recreate the shock and awe of watching humans go around the moon *exactly* as planned.

Look, for my money the absolute game changer technologies right now are batteries and biosciences, not statistically modeling a mid conversation, but you do you.

a vote for velociraptor is actually a vote for deinonychus which jurrasic park mixed up for dramatic effect. deinonychus discovered by john ostrom kickstarted the birds as dinosaurs understanding too. clearly the best one. trex also cool af. ty

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

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?

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.
