Source tells me Oakland Mayor Thao’s meeting with Rob Manfred last weekend is much to do about nothing. More or less too little, too late. #vegas #athletics #mlb

@JakeMGrumbach I’m having you write all my abstracts from now on.

GOP legislators more strongly backed by business interests are more likely to adhere to democratic norms compared to their more individually-funded colleagues.

@zfurnas I’m not one of the cool kids who got an invite code and I’ve been on the waiting list for months.

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

This one better catch on among academics because I’m getting less and less interested in social media and I don’t think I have any more platforms left in me.

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

@JakeMGrumbach Definitely need a code

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

@RachelNavarre I put my name down on the wait list months ago and never heard a thing.

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

A terrific glimpse into the practical side of a part time legislature.

@NateSilver538 Nate - that's right! And what @JordanCarrP & I argued in our peer-reviewed research. Members consider stock holdings & reelection incentives. In the case of the debt limit, personal financial gains & not putting country in default achieved both goals. https://t.co/gSjKT0MUEk

@garlicksauce @Clare_Brock Campaign spending, especially independent expenditures.

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

I have a student who wants to research interest group / non-candidate spending in state and local races. What should they read to get started?

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

A lot of us are starting to get a glimpse at what the [likes] / [quiet eyeroll] ratios have been all this time.

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

Trying out options since for some reason my feed here is now mostly accounts I don’t follow. So far I kinda like Post. Maybe it’s because I really like serif fonts.

We're just normal men

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

I’ve been coming here a lot less since my feed got noticeably weirder and worse, so I completely missed yesterday’s big Defensive Survivorship Bias Hoedown. (In fact, I only found about about it from Reddit!)

Once as an undergrad I was the only person to show up to a class. The professor proceeded to GIVE THE LECTURE as if it was a room full of people.

[Jonathan Lewallen @jonlewallen]

Shoutout to the one (1) student who showed up to my 10 am class today

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

Since this thing is wrapping up, maybe we can physically mail copies of articles and working papers to each other. We can put little treats or goodies in the packages. Who wouldn’t want to find presents in their mailboxes at work all the time?

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]

This Twitter -> Mastodon thing has a real Word -> LaTeX vibe to me and I don’t like it.

[Ken Miller @Ken_M_Miller]
