Many "what's up with kids these days?" dinner table conversations turned into a co-authored NBER WP with my stepson that was covered in the New York Times this morning. Didn't have that on my life bingo card.

@Metal_Crow The recent CA court case brought this back to my attention. I think it's sketchy that the dangerous dosage is only 2x the recommended/oral prevention dosage.

“A floating island of garbage…?” Referring to Puerto Rico???
“Poisoning the blood of our nation…?”
We have “murder in our genes….?”
Fuck these racists. Latino men of good will, have pride in yourselves and your ancestors. A vote for Trump is a vote against self-respect.

@cremieuxrecueil What was the voting turnout in lieu of those id laws?
you know that you need a DiD model to show there was no/negligible effect.

"Our largest city will be an engineering marvel. It will be global focal point of fashion, the arts, commerce, finance, and research. Trains running underground in a system that moves millions of people around a tiny island"

"And these trains will connect to the airports?"

No.

@cremieuxrecueil @chris__sly So, either bad polling or republicans are more likely to call someone a friend than democrats?

3rd option: performative answers - sounds unlikely, but that’s a possible way to break the symmetry, if Rs think they’re more/Ds less open-minded.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Do you think somebody possibly has video of Trump mocking the handicapped, demeaning US prisoners of war, boasting about sexually assaulting women, praising Vladimir Putin, or urging a violent attack on the US Capitol? That would be huge.

@cremieuxrecueil What if instead we reduce the time for patent [given shorter time to market/ability to recoup R&D costs]? Is that a way of [over time] reducing health care costs?

@lizziellen @DavidZipper I think [again, conjecture] that they are often installed in under/over policed majority minority communities, where indeed, many of the speeders are PoC.

But also, PoC pedestrians deserve safe streets in those communities, right?

@lizziellen @DavidZipper [they are totally reasonable in Addison County, btw]

@AmbassadorRice @KamalaHarris The sausage king of Chicago?!?
Sorry. 🫢

@mpsever I think that the both-sides-ing of everything made "the other folks" think that they needed to be worried about the fresh nonsense every day throughout the current administration, alas.

October is National #CoopMonth! At Cabot, we believe in the power of cooperation and collaboration. Being a cooperative means we're owned by our farmer members, and together, we've built a thriving community that works toward a more sustainable future. https://t.co/mvFmilBTeI

Spoiler candidate @DrJillStein was just endorsed by the infamous Ku Klux Klan leader, David Duke. In 2016 and 2020, Duke endorsed Trump.

Stein "rejected" Duke's endorsement, but neatly forgot her funny tweet about Charles Koch endorsing Hillary in 2016.

@GaryWinslett VC is very tied to enshittification and squeezing all consumer surplus out of systems. I’ve seen very little good done by VC in the past 12 years.

@lizziellen @_NotA_Bot_ LFG!
It was great meeting you at the Clifford @lizziellen
