For anyone to whom I owe work, including coauthors, editors, etc: I have been having relationship problems for a while and now my daughter is being wrongfully retained in a country that has a horrible track record of returning abducted children.

Sorry guys. Forgot about this place for a while.

I’m back hosting @thedailyshow.com Tuesday through Thursday. Tune in live on Comedy Central and stream on Paramount+

Help: I remember seeing a study here that debunked the common claim that US internal migration is falling over time. Anyone remember the reference?

So Colbert should probably run for president tbh

Thank goodness! Just yesterday I told my wife: man I really wish we could watch c span right now.

Stay classy, tooth

In a few months I'll be sending out a survey to about 3000 development studies profs around the world. If anyone is interested in chatting about possibly tacking on a question (maybe a prediction about an empirical result you're working on), I'd be happy to talk. DM me.

I’m sorry what? WW2 ended with some kind of negotiation??

Europeans will do anything to avoid AC

I truly believe that Sydney is the most beautiful city in the world.

stay normal, accept trans people today

I dunno. I feel like shit ass parks that nobody likes can close, even if they were historically fun. But this one wasn’t even that! It was moved!

I’m literally more qualified than trump’s BLS pick. That’s insane.

I feel like the far left hates left center democrats more than republicans.

Have I told you all how pleasant Brisbane is and how wonderful my colleagues are?

Another huntsman.

I’d love to catch all these disgusting democrats. Release all the files so we can see who they are!

Obrack Ofuane’s picture is amazing

So before moving here I always heard that Queensland was Australia’s Florida, with ridiculous news stories and crimes. But watching the news everyday, I’m pretty sure Melbourne gets that honor?

I feel guilty enjoying videos of cute pigs because pork is so yummy

It’s true

I just randomly deleted 10% of files on my laptop. A lot of shit doesn’t work now but I have more memory. - DOGE, probably

I want like five golden retrievers.

Jon Stewart’s Elmo bit is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in years. 10/10

Nailed it

Guys Straya is awesome. Just a wonderful place to be in general. For academics, pay is obviously less than the US, but otherwise very high by global standards, with good research support and low teaching. My colleagues are amazing. Really highly recommend.

Just a horrible place

I’ve been waiting for this! I’ve loved Josh’s segments ever since he joined

Apparentlu Grok’s net favorability is up big with MAGA today. Anyone know what happened?

A group of cockatoos should be called a deafening.

To the airport. So it begins.

Happy pride month my L, G, B, AND T friends!

Dudes literally chat GPT’d an important commission report. Unbelievable (well, not really)

Administration going to single handedly ruin American dominance in tech and science. Unbelievable.

"I have put out -- me, a bloke alone in his basement -- I've put out more analysis of the Trump tariffs than Kevin Hassett and the entire Council of Economic Advisers." To be clear: This is intended as an empirical claim that you should take literally, and feel free to fact check.

Big rocket go boom

The US Administration has indefinitely blocked *all* student visa applicants from getting a visa interview. Worldwide, unconditional, no end date. All. International students are crucial to the US university system, American innovation, and future US prosperity.
