Maybe you've missed the crushing, DAG-wielding critique. Of course, not by a star scholar... www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

It's easy to solve, really. Future Bond is sent back in time to stop evil Bond from killing M as a child. Future bond learns the value of human life, so sacrifices himself in a vat of molten steel while young M watches tearfully.

The funniest part below is that the cover is for The Odyssey

Now's you chance to help Rick and show us all how smart you are!

Day 7,106: I still do not understand what it means to be someone's soda pop

would this make Star Wars watchable? Yes, Yes it would

Nerds, help out!

Saw someone wearing a shirt jacket, shorts, and socks and birkenstocks. Is this fashion, @p-hunermund.com?

Blocked and reported

Same.

Incredible

This is definitely an interesting idea for display of Likert scale data allowing for don't-know / didn't-answer

I'll allow it

Are hot dogs sandwiches? No, they're tacos.

If only there was a good explanation as to why 🤔

A film you’ve seen more than seven times with a gif

Me, a genius: man, it feels so late in the day right now. I can't believe it's only 3:15.

There is an empirical aspect to this question. Assuming the two teams are almost evenly matched, how many games would we need to reliably determine the winner?

Why do people act as if fall ends October 31 and Christmas season begins November 1? 😭😭😭 Joel gets it.

Correct

Elektra King: I could have given you the world. James Bond: The world is not enough. Elektra King: Foolish sentiment. James Bond: Family motto.

Not wrong. Yes, I own one.

Smithereens and hooligan are great words we should all use more.

Looks interesting. Added to the reading pile

Correct. And the way we structure survey questions encourages people to respond in narrow ways specific to the question and answer format. As you were.

Hey #stats and #rstats people - is there a name for this type of plot? (If not, can we come up with one??) I use to to visualize ICC in multilevel designs (x axis are the random groups, sorted by their mean outcome level).

in my post-academic era i have become extremely scathing of the way academia considers papers to the primary outcome of intellectual work, and refuses to give credit to academics who write software or build other tooling. in industry we very rarely read your papers; but we always use your software

I think this is kind of neat and I don't think anyone else has noticed it (I've looked and I can't find anyone who has) osf.io/preprints/so... Maybe I should back off "justification" language, but it's at least a remarkable coincidence. I still think someone else *must* have noticed it...

Okay but they still look terrifying

I'm excited to finally have a preprint of this paper up, a few years in the making. In it we argue that industry-driven manipulation of social media research is well underway and that norms and institutions in the field are ill-prepared to resist tech's influence. arxiv.org/abs/2510.19894

Good paper

Measurement error is a causal inference problem.

A genuine question: is there data that demonstrates this trend (survey data of students, etc)? Not a dunk, to be clear.

I...what?
