Alltför vanligt logiskt felslut här på Twitter: ”Titta här vad en person från grupp X sagt/gjort. Alltså är X idioter.”

@RoineVestman @ek_oberg @ToreEllingsen1 @d_domeij JME-artikeln i fotnoten på slutet. ;)

[Robert Östling @robertostling]

Är en bubbla sju gånger större än USAs BNP något att oroa sig för? @ek_oberg verkar tycka det, men det gör inte @ToreEllingsen1 och @d_domeij.

Huge thanks to @ollehammar for putting this amazing event together! This is not a regular replication games. All teams focus on papers using Swedish admin/registry data. These papers are almost never computationally reproduced!

@CFCamerer Thanks!

@sirdeh @fannytheprez @emilhellerud @AndrejKokkonen @Stockholms_univ @jmerilainen Hade inte sett. Har du länk till uppsats istf ETC-artikel bakom betalvägg?

[Robert Östling @robertostling]

@bjorkmanmartina Tror det bara gäller fritiden. Fattar jag rätt är det inte så mkt för att skärmande är skadligt som att det tar tid från annat.

[Robert Östling @robertostling]

Är det bara jag som är kluven till FHM:s skärmtidsrekommendation?

Som empiriker: Skakig empirisk grund, det är inte skärmen i sig osv

Som förälder: Underbart, det här har jag behövt för att hantera ”alla andra…”-argumentet

Som teoretiker: Koordination är viktigt!

Allt ska ju vara tillåtet på X nu, så då kan man ju passa på att sprida det här.

[Heather Burgundy 🇺🇦🇯🇵 @HeatherBurgundy]

Elon Musk satisfied the demands and provided a list of shareholders of "X Holding Corp", who helped the billionaire buy Twitter.
Among them are Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich.

Petr Aven is a Russian billionaire, founder of Alfa Group, one of the main wallets for Putin. Aven is one of Putin's oldest friends. Putin would be in prison instead of becoming president without him. Aven covered for Vladimir Putin in 1992, when he organized an illegal trade in export licenses; he was also present at a meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022, in the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. He did not express any protest against "SVO" and supported Putin. By the way, he, together with Fridman, is trying to lift sanctions from himself, just yesterday he received another refusal in this matter.
In the purchase of Twitter he is represented by the company "8VC Opportunities Fund II, LP", where his son Denis works.

Vadim Moshkovich is a sanctioned Russian agricultural billionaire who was a member of the "Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation." In other words, he was officially part of Putin's inner circle. Moshkovich owns Russia's largest agricultural holding, Rusagro. Naturally, he was also present at the meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022, and, like Aven, did not express any protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
In the purchase of Twitter he is represented by the company "8VC Opportunities Fund II, LP", where his son Jack (Eugene) works.

Knowing all this, we now understand Elon Musk's bias. Everyone was wondering how it was possible that Twitter shares (X) were falling, advertisers were breaking contracts, and no one was doing anything. This was direct damage to investors. But everyone failed to take into account the fact that investors needed a platform to promote their narratives, such as: support for Putin and Russia; lobbying for freezing the war in Ukraine; removing the Ukrainian agenda from the top news etc.

It is now clear that all the changes on Twitter that are ruining this wonderful platform are a result of Elon Musk's collaboration with people like Moshkovich and Aven.

Är den svenska klassrumsmiljön verkligen bland de sämsta i OECD? Tveksamt. Det verkar som om den dramatiska försämringen som står att finna i senaste PISA-undersökningen beror på en översättningsmiss. https://t.co/LV5CSmJQRy
