That man is so epically weird.

Wow. This is the paper I have been waiting for. Mobile apps are brain rot, with meaningfully bad economic consequences for those who overuse them.

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

So excited to be working with @jrothst.bsky.social and the amazing program committee to make this year's SoLE annual meeting the best ever-don't forget to submit your paper so you can join us there!

Well.

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs

- Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75%
- Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60%
- Social Sciences by 50–70%
- History by 60%
- Biology by 75%
- The German department will lose all PhD seats
- Sociology from six PhD students to zero

I love this premise. Congrats and thank you for doing this important work.

📣 Our paper is out on 12 A/B tests all together showing *big* efficiency gains! So excited about this paper & broader approach. We optimize tutoring programs which are famously effective but hard to scale. Highlights👇

REACH has a census (not finding it on their web right now) and does related work www.reachcentered.org

Somebody has a chart somewhere comparing this across cities. Eric Taylor, Andrew BH, or Mark Chin would know, I think.

How'd you sit in on my therapy session again?

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

Give it a couple of years of climate change

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.

The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

Nothing like putting on your pants in the morning and having your toddler turn to you and say, "Mama, great job!!!"

I used to teach a class on this and the source dataset had a hyphen that was an en dash not a hyphen and the students complained so much, but I was like, "babes, this is the minor leagues"

Gotta pump those numbers, #EconSky & #NumbersDay.

You'll be in good company.

I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
