This is indeed good, and I'm now also back to my standard low expectations

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 3h

Yeah, there recurring characters are more like Easter eggs than anything important. Every book of hers is stand alone I think (as I currently read “The singer’s gun”). love glass house, but I think sea of tranquility is my favorite

I guess I’m relieved I didn’t get a job at a Dutch university

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 16h

just seeing the still is giving me hives. no way i'm clicking on that

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 16h

I have received 4 fundraising e-mail from Josh Shapiro in the past hours, all of them with subjects like "An update (not great)". They're now going to my spam folder, so great job.

it's time for the return of the continental system?

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 18h

I’ve got to reorganize my lectures because there’s been so much discussion, we keep not getting to the stuff at the end.

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 18h

usually a black manhattan for me these days

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 18h

From my cursory search, there also seems to be a modern (part) remake? Is that worth watching instead? Or just stick with the original?

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 22h

still spills out like crazy, although it's a bit better

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 22h

Only 3 classes in, but so far the in class device ban has been a huge success. Discussion and in class engagement is way up.

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 22h

and kind messed up how much brine spills out when you open them for the first time

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 22h

and xG difference -2 goals is incredible. What's the largest difference you've seen over a full season?

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

lot of not cookies in that signature bake

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

horrifying

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

You can understand that’s the rule, and still find it incredibly dispiriting

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Bad when the other team scores though

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It’s good when the rangers score goals, imo

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

they should collaborate on an injera bagel

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I don't think figuring out we differ on values is very fun, tbh

From our FirstView: "Democratic Accountability with Citizen Coproduction" by Jie Ma, @keithschnak.bsky.social, and @ianrturner.bsky.social. buff.ly/QgJ8hoR

APSR abstract for "Democratic Accountability with Citizen Coproduction," by Jie Ma, Keith E. Schnakenberg, and Ian R. Turner, Modeling policies requiring citizen coproduction, the authors show low coproduction muddies voters' attribution of blame, and incumbents anticipate this by sometimes avoiding reforms when more likely to succeed. Full abstract is available in linked article.

good haul from the farmers market today

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

good luck

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

great, except for the road trips

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I can see the reverb coming off that list

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

yes. my comment should be read with an exasperated mutter.

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

so, concacaf

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

selecting on the dependent variable is the correct answer, but that is indeed funnier

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

why are you against saving time

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

bonus points if anyone guesses in which lecture i use this quote

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Ahh not a bear in sight....the Bear Patrol must be working like a charm That’s specious reasoning dad Thank you honey

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Just seeing that phrase is almost enough to get me to deactivate my account again

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Very unsettling to realize i want the braves to win their series against the dodgers. (obviously to then get stomped in the nlcs)

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I’m sure it’ll be a blizzard for mpsa, but its nice now

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

ah, so he’s the exception that proves the rule

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

i don’t think so

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

but at least they understand statistics

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

the correct number is 2, 3 is what you think at the time is correct, 4 you know at the time is wrong and your order it anyway

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

that is a slightly incorrect martini

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The correct martini is 2 to 1 gin and dry vermouth, couple dashes of orange bitters, stirred, with a twist.

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

would a code red be suburban flavor town

Greg Sasso @gregsasso.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I really really wanted to go, but tuesdays are simply not an option this school year unless it was, like, david Bowie returning from the afterlife
