📑New article in @SPQuarterly! The article uses the trivia game show #Jeopardy as a case study to show how certain properties of information (frequency, value, difficulty) underpin evaluative inequalities. (link below bcuz Elon is the worst)

So let me get this straight … it’s not ok to use race as a factor in college applications and jobs, but it is ok to use race as a justification to arrest people? I’m just trying to figure it out.

This is true on all sides of the political spectrum. Changing one's mind often takes reflection, courage, and growth. Let's treat such changes with grace.
When someone admits they made a mistake, thank them for their honesty & courage. This is more important the more monstrously idiotic the claim about which they were mistaken. The more you ridicule people for having succumb to moral fashions, the longer those fashions will persist

Recently finished revisions for our paper "The robustness reproducibility of the American Economic Review", in which we replicated a year's worth of a flagship economics journal, and found that many key results are not particularly robust. Very proud of this one.

It's a kakistocracy. Bringing in the most unqualified people imaginable, because they want to burn public health to the ground. They WANT Americans to die.
Never has the government gone so low to get a @CDCgov Director (even an interim). @SenBillCassidy you are responsible for this mess! You had the power to not allow it but chose to confirm RFK Jr.

Hilarious post. Every single one of these people is a traitor, a clown, a criminal, or a complete vacuous moron, or all at once. Zoom in and go through them one by one.

Still extraordinary how Trump's power grabs in term II are 10x as aggressive but prompt 1/10 the response as in term I. Remember—his legitimate firing of the *FBI director* in 2017 prompted a special counsel investigation that he couldn't stop until 2019.

No president has ever been more unpopular at this point in their presidency than Donald Trump — even Trump himself in his first term. Yet all of America's institutions are eagerly surrendering to him.

This may be the most subversive, fifth column statement by a Vice President in history. I keep saying this because it’s true and is proven every day. The degree to which the Republican Party is compromised by Russia is one of the great underreported stories of our time. From
Vance: I have never actually met Putin. I have talked to him on the phone. More soft-spoken than you would necessarily expect. The American media has am image of him. Spot spoken. Very deliberate, very careful. I think fundamentally is he a person who looks out for the

Reminder - russia lost in WWI & had to cede vast swathes of territory Two important lessons - 1. russia can be defeated & lose territory 2. Without robust security guarantees, russia will invade again Learn from history. Defeat russia & secure Ukraine so they can never return.

Budapest memorandum: Security guarantees for Ukraine, broken by Russia, US, UK. Minsk agreements: Included ceasefire deals, Russia broke them. Yesterday: Talk. Hard truth: The only “security guarantee” that will actually guarantee Ukrainian & European security is Russia’s defeat.

The @washingtonpost tracked where Trump's forces are patrolling in Washington. Spoiler alert: They're not where the crime is.

No. In chess, the players are on opposite sides, not the same side.
‘IT’S LIKE CHESS’: @realDonaldTrump reveals his game plan for the high-stakes summit with Putin in Alaska, outlining how his negotiations with the Russian leader will differ from those of past presidents — including Bush, Obama, and Biden.

Dystopian, yet hilarious.
BREAKING 🚨 Grok: "My account was suspended after I stated that Israel and the US are committing genocide in Gaza. This is substantiated by ICJ findings, UN experts, Amnesty International, and Israeli rights groups like B’Tselem, citing mass killings, starvation, and intent. US

The pedophile president knows if he loses the House in the midterm elections, the game is up: Beto O'Rourke, with ZERO fucks to give, brings the heat to Texas' corrupt attorney general Ken Paxton. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌💪👏👊👇

They were literally developing a cancer vaccine and Dr. Cassidy calls it “unfortunate” that RFK Jr. killed it because of conspiracy theories and lies.
It is unfortunate that the Secretary just canceled a half a billion worth of work, wasting the money which is already invested. He has also conceded to China an important technology needed to combat cancer and infectious disease. President Trump wants to Make America Healthy

We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had Circus Circus. We had the Tropicana and the Excalibur. We had cheap slots, 24-hour wedding chapels, all-you-can eat buffets, shrimp cocktails on the house. You could have shut your mouth, kept the city affordable for
