that Jerome Powell video goes so much harder because it looks like it was filmed in 1986.

Random woman walking down Market street mumbled “Jesus fucking Christ” to no one in particular, to which I responded “I know right” and I can only imagine that she was channeling the ghost of Ben Franklin.

Headed to #assa2026? Hit me up if you’re interested in skipping the “research” “presentations” and trying all of the vegan/vegetarian cheesesteaks in Philadelphia instead.

I am not an AI doomer, but one of the bummers about academia these days is that I constantly feel like I am just grading LLM output, whether true or not. 📈📉

good news about not going all in on World Cup tickets in ATL before groups were announced is that resale prices for that Cape Verde—Uzbekistan match will probably be pretty low.

random Q for the #econsky education folks. is there a large database of university/college and/or K-12 academic calendars, including start dates, end dates, school breaks, etc., ideally going back a decade?

I am absolutely livid with the political propaganda in my kid’s school this week. They’re grooming the kindergarteners into being falcons fans.

well, it finally happened #econsky. my partner is out with friends, my kid’s aftercare spot is doing an “after dark” special, and I’m… eating dinner and drinking a beer solo while reading an @ecmaeditors.bsky.social paper on my phone at the bar.

today, i allowed myself some excitement about research for the first time in a long time by looking at some dormant papers that need to be revised and sent back out, just as a little treat, as i feel the end of the semester approaching. 📈📉

having spent the day fighting jet lag by drinking espresso, eating stroopwafels and French fries, and drinking Dutch beer, while watching bicycles whiz around, I regret to inform you that it is no longer a fair coin flip.

one very low-stakes annoyance I have is how fantasy football win projections assume that points accumulate linearly throughout a game. I don’t have a better idea, but incorporating some larger margin of uncertainty feels appropriate.

one of the worst parts of being a journal editor is that you develop a greater sense of empathy for other editors and thus end up saying yes to way too many referee requests. #econsky

got to blow a few undergraduate minds today by telling them that a competitive eq’m maximizes net surplus because you’re just taking first derivatives of total bennies and total cost curves and setting them equal to each other. woke indoctrination starts after labor day, naturally.

somehow I just discovered that I managed to design my courses around an imaginary fall break a week after our actual fall break. perhaps it was because our fall break does not fall on the federal holiday or the fall break for atlanta public schools. that, of course, would make too much sense.
