Genetically engineered cats that can tell if it's cold outside by 1.) seeing snow out of the window 2.) remembering that he went outside two hours ago and it was cold.

@IFP who is on this?

Being super smug about the TikTok ban not affecting me because I waste 8 hours on my phone in other superior ways

[todd dillard @toddedillard]

asked my 5-year-old what she wanted for dinner and she said “not a burned quesadilla” bc in the summer of 2019 I overcooked one side of her quesadilla

@jayparsons My worry with that tactic is that the NIMBYs will decide that they are in fact pretty cool with not receiving federal aid if it means they can keep their city encased in amber.

[Riva @Riva_k86]

Not comfortable?

insanely funny to have the likely future Prime Minister of Canada just take my chart and intentionally crop out the watermark where I say I made it lmao

[Kent Fellows @GK_Fellows]

A (genuine) thanks to the Food Prof for engaging with the material and (mostly) avoiding ad-hominin attacks. This is refreshing.

However, while some of the critiques in his thread have merit, I don't think he is making the argument he intends.

@shalawala419 @kevbot6000 @omercan47 @sam_d_1995 They spend less time waiting in traffic, which could very well save them more money than they spend on the congestion charge.

@starryblueisis @ZachWeiner There are a lot of other factors there so you can't come to that conclusion that way. The US is also a high immigration country (very similar rate to the UK)

[Internets Person @AShieldOfMeat]

@starryblueisis @ZachWeiner It helps in that it can help balance out the demographic pyramid or allows people from in demand specialties to move in. But mostly it grows the economy which has its own benefits.

[Internets Person @AShieldOfMeat]

@starryblueisis @ZachWeiner Allowing in immigrants does not stop Americans from doing work. Both empirically and conceptually (see the lump of labor fallacy).

Nothing warms an economist’s heart like a festive unconditional cash transfer 😌
