I played *a lot* of second base in little league, and Ryno was by far my favorite player. I suspect he had such an unusually big fanbase both because he was so admired and also because WGN was watched all across the country. (I really loved those Dunston-Sandberg-Grace days.) RIP.

This morning, @InnovateEconomy sent a letter to Congress signed by 87 economists. It calls for investment and modernization of the US statistical agencies. See Kenan's thread below to understand why this matters so much. 👇.
The DATA, they need us!. Stats agency budgets have been pennypinched for years, 📉 in real terms. And then BOOM. 💣 2025 happened. Today 87 of the nation’s leading economists wrote to elected leaders in DC urging focused and funded efforts to modernize the US statistical system

"Much better than verbal debates are written exchanges of views." @mattyglesias is correct about this. Debates are fun to watch, but they are thrilling precisely because they rely on emotionally-appealing persuasion tactics that are unmoored from even the attempt to be truthful.
