That’s so great to hear. Ironically I think they’re the most popular documents I’ve ever written
Thx Tom! So glad you find those useful. That really means a lot!
Thank *you* Erin!
Such a treat to see you teach with such passion, clarity, and insight
I learned so much & I know the students did too!
& grateful for the opportunity to share ideas— looking forward to the next time!
With so much awfulness in the news, here’s some good news about my eldest. Sharing with pride:

Ah just general uneasiness
For me, I would worry if I lost google books (esp Ngrams) or google trends. Very useful for research. Losing GS: 🤷
Not following. Why would GS go down?
Ha you know I feel the same way about you & Aliza!
Thx Dave!!
Episode 2 of O/I, on Black family reunions*, was one of the most rewarding projects I’ve had privilege to work on
Deeply moving
Deep lessons about the logic of collective identity
*Wha??? The events with the t-shirts are important? Yup!

Danielle Diettrich Hegseth is a very brave woman
May she be successful in her mission & may she remain safe & secure
This is a good moment to remind ourselves that Eugene Goodman is an 🇺🇸 hero
It’s almost 4 hours though (25 min intermission) & feels longerz You spend the second half wanting to look at your watch & wondering how the hell they’re going to tie everything together— & they never do.
Yep
Yeah. Each of the four of us who went together kinda looked at each other to see who would break the ice. Somehow we did & were each so relieved we were on the same page.
Saw #TheBrutalist last night
Everyone I was with agreed it was among the worst movies we’ve ever seen
Incoherent jumble of cliched ideas, unfollowable plot, uninteresting characters, self-indulgent pacing
Anyone who tells you it’s good either has no taste or is afraid to name a naked emperor
Thx— will try it!
As much as the algo at the old place could be annoying, the algo here makes this site next to useless
Unless I’m missing something?
A new year’s post on the surprising, paradoxical gifts embedded in modern new years celebrations;
on the roads not taken that could have made for a very different new year’s experience &
on the hidden costs associated with those gifts
Happy 2025!

This is the part the cretin wants us to think is *normal*
Insane Robert Reich still hounding us for $$ even though no election anytime soon & Dems couldn’t parlay $1b of our cash into victory
My fav thing to do when seeing America from the sky is to see how much of the landscape is colonized by what— from a landscape perspective at least— will always be America’s favorite pastime
Two months ago,🇮🇱 was so unsure of its victory over Hezb/🇮🇷 & so unaware of implications for Syria, it wanted 🇷🇺 as regional power to help enforce 🇮🇱 - 🇱🇧 deal
Now Putin is powerless & humiliated in Middle East so pathetically reverting to Tsarist antisemitism

No sh*t?!

It sucks Tulsi isn’t in role soon enough to save Assad, innit?
Thx for this post, Dave. I really can’t see a strong counter to this. I wonder also if this is in fact the case in various fields such as medicine where articles are written in very standardized formats
My collaborator & friend @ezrazuckermansivan.bsky.social has an interesting post on plagiarism & intellectual property theft, which is unfortunately quite common.
One issue I’d add is the POSITIVE value of self-plagiarism for Data & Methods sections.
