@gsxr_drew @AppleSupport The weird thing is that, we don't have it, it's in the location of the old apartment...

[Aleksandr Michuda @econaleks]

@AppleSupport just moved and my old address just popped up with an airtag following me... Now whoever has that airtag can track my location? What gives? This seems like an illegal violation of privacy. Please contact me to rectify this situation.

Wondering how medium-scale farms compare to small and large ones for rural development, and what advantages they may provide? Check out our blog post with @PMeyfroidt on medium-scale farming in Mozambique

@WeAreRLadies I've been teaching dynamic documents for years and you've just killed it at explaining its benefits in 10 tweets. PROPS

If you've been thinking about how to support Ukrainians, please consider donating. Maybe I'll read an intro for you!

[Cristina Chiarella @xtinacha]

Ag-efficiency and structural transformation arguments support farm labor migration to nonfarm jobs for higher incomes. In contrast, food justice and food sovereignty arguments advocate for the protection of small-scale farming.

Good night. This is a pic of a soup in a vegetarian cafe in Lviv. The cafe is open. The menu has been significantly reduced, but the food is as tasty as ever. All revenues go to army. (We spent our day figuring out custom and logistic issues for medical kits that are arriving)

[Aleksandr Michuda @econaleks]

Thinking of ways to use my skills on helping the situation in Ukraine somehow. I know that regressions can't stop bombs, but there's gotta be a way to use all these degrees for good? #EconTwitter

People marching through central Moscow this evening chanting “No to War!”

[Aleksandr Michuda @econaleks]

The bombs are dropping in multiple cities. I'm making calls to check if everyone in my family is still alive and so far everyone is present and accounted for.

Please consider donating to the Ukrainian armed forces.

People debating about the stats are missing the point.
The text of the tweet did not mention stats. At best, Nick failed to grasp the theory. At worst, he tweeted mysogyny, a condescending dismal of research related to women's oppression.

Who else thinks keeping people housed on Earth is more important than billionaire space tourism?

Please don't do this.

Provincetown has one of the highest vaccination rates in the country.

As vaccination rates increase the percentage of cases that are in vaccinated people NECESSARILY increases.

Today the CFO of UCSD who makes $430K a year had the gall to lecture me about budgeting when I explained to him that graduate students cannot be made to pay 75% of their income in on-campus rent.
