brother, Columbus had free busses during the recent cold snap, and (while it's confounded of course), the class mix on the bus was *way* more diverse

This Boston Review piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is obviously not going to be the last word in the "popularism" debate. But it's the last word for me, in the sense that anything I might want to say on it is said better here. www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

I hope this book sells a billion copies. It is designed to. Lucid. Funny. A little salacious. Like using an Eminent Victorians style biography to smuggle materialist history.

A strange but true finding about NYC congestion pricing: Drivers’ time savings have overwhelmingly gone to those traveling *outside* the toll zone (i.e., driving from Brooklyn to Queens or within NJ) – not those headed into Manhattan. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵

Congestion Pricing’s Unexpected Winners: Suburban Drivers
NYC’s controversial toll program hasn’t just sped up trips inside Manhattan, a new paper finds. It’s easing traffic in outer boroughs and neighboring counties.

Gotcha.. maybe good statistical work in the social sciences is about making unknown unknowns into known unknowns, which, at least to us, feels a lot like propagating more uncertainty? The minimum wage work by Dube and folks is a good example here. Dumb reductions becoming smart ambiguity

What do you mean? As in they are useful in discerning relationships or disentangling phenomena? Or do you just mean that the data are so abstracted, both philosophically and in practice that they just don't reflect meaningful boundaried phenomena at all? Or something else?

I'm ride-or-die ggplot2, but after seeing Grant demo tinyplot as a co-panelist as a very useful, lightweight, quick and easy replace for base R plot function, I've been using it for quick glances into data. It fixes a lot of the things that made base R plots annoying, e.g. legends. Highly recommend.

Great new episode of UCLA Housing Voice podcast @shanedphillips.bsky.social, featuring @holz-bau.bsky.social on single-stairs & ecodistricts, and how they differ from TOD. Definitely worth the listen to learn more about these issues:

That doesn't mean blindly adopting the tools, it means asking how potential alliances change now that these tools are coming, it means re-evaluating where we can best save meaning from capitalism, it means asking serious questions about how we find (and make) potential for the good life in the bad

I do think it says something that whenever we ask ourselves questions like this, we get a jumble of 500 policies. What are the unifying concepts that explain why that agenda is cohesive and desirable? That tells us how and why to prioritize certain goals at certain times? That's what the right has.
