Well, the econ job market is getting into full swing, so it's time for my annual reminder that I am here (DMs are open) if anyone wants to talk to someone who "didn't make it." 1/5

@astralwalkk @dschorno Came here to make sure someone had referenced ICP ty

I am 100% taking FMLA leave next summer. Having my kids out of school for 9 straight weeks while I get 3 weeks of vacation for the entire year is bad for my mental health.

12yo: what are you doing?

Me: proofreading a paper.

12yo: I thought you already wrote a paper.

Me: I did! And now I’m working on another one.

12yo: So you’re going to finish this paper and then you’re just… going to start another paper?!?

@chloergibbs Here are my thoughts on this as someone who is currently going through it: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[Amy @klejnot]

I don’t totally understand the “get rid of paywalls” crowd. Was anyone saying that people were misinformed in the 90s because print newspapers weren’t free?

[Amy @klejnot]

@eigenrobot depends on the political views of the smart person

Though funny enough I think for a lot of liberals and conservatives “poor people who voted for Trump” fall into this category

[Amy @klejnot]

@PunkyMantilla lol was rewatching that one with my kids recently, I forgot how obsessed people were with the mob back then

@eigenrobot Dang wanted to make an IRB joke here but realized that IRBs were not invented yet at that time

@eigenrobot Hmm. Maybe someone could write a lovely ballad about the brave 21st century moms and our adventures in laundry, minivan driving, scheduling summer camps, and drinking wine. They could call it Live, Laugh, Love

[Amy @klejnot]

@TraumaSoapBoxes Yes 100% I have weirdly wished many times that a salad truck would drive through my neighborhood. It takes a lot of time and mental bandwidth to go to the store every few days for fresh stuff, then chop/prep/etc for something that isn’t even going to fill you up

Are you 100% remote; what is your gender

me in 2046 reading a DDDDDD paper showing how poor air quality in NYC today led to 0.0003 SD decline in test scores and $27 decline in lifetime earnings

[Amy @klejnot]

My husband is Canadian and he is telling me about the “skill testing question” for people who won the lottery. I’m willfully not going to google this because I’d rather ask here. Is this real? #canada #mapleleaf

[Amy @klejnot]

I can’t believe how many people are opining on this. If your child died would you like the internet to vote on whether you release photos of them?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

After every mass shooting, crime scene investigators go to work and witness a scene of unimaginable horror.
This is the story of one of those teams, and what they saw after the Sandy Hook school shooting. It's the story they've never told to the world.

@nytimes No we should not see the pictures. For so many reasons, but for one thing they would end up here, on 4chan, etc etc where people would say incredibly disrespectful (to put it mildly) things. Would you want pics of your deceased loved one on 4chan?

[Amy @klejnot]

@emilykmay 💗💗 That’s so hard!!
