Anyone using LiquidText on iPad for reading and note taking? I’m wondering if it’s worth purchasing.

The contrast between threads and Bluesky is interesting. It’s like true work-life balance. However, I tend to like my worlds to collide. I probably shouldn’t. 😂

If I run regressions for a living, does that count as residual income? 🤭🤗

Having to push back on the fraud (and joblessness) narrative annoys me so much. Fraud is extremely low in this program. Even if it was high, people still need food.

I really should have put together a panel on DEI and activism for SIOP 26. That’s my bad. I hope someone else made the move.

Me still researching, teaching, and speaking on leadership + DEI because it’s part of my professional identity, it’s what I love, and I won’t/can’t erase that. Happy new semester!

It seems like this should be illegal. “Give us $X so we can give you $XX.” So, we’re just moving cash around?

I’m either extremely productive before a Zoom meeting and show up late because I was absorbed by the work, or I’m not productive at all and show up on time.

To be clear, I don’t expect them to turn it around until they’re ready to do so. I just know it startles students when I do this.

Rand Paul effectively admitting that the US is the biggest arms dealer in the world while sitting in a congress that does the bare minimum when it comes to preventing school shootings is the kind of sobering moment that “Second Amendment Americans” need but will likely ignore.

This is the weird thing about people and this administration. The tariffs weren’t necessary. These “budget cuts” could have been done in a fair and systematic way. Breaking things and then partially repairing them doesn’t deserve praise. It’s less than the bare minimum that is expected of you.

If someone pours bleach in your drinking water, waits around until you’re dehydrated, and then gives you fresh water just before you’re too far gone, you’re thankful for that clean water because it was a relief - it’s a good thing. However, you shouldn’t forget who tainted the water.

“Michael” called to tell me my tv receiver box was out of date and I would no longer receive a signal. I told “Michael” that I don’t own such a device, and I could hear the disappointment in his voice. This scam would have been top tier in 2009. Times have changed, Michael. We stream now.

He and her uncle had a different relationship - mutual respect but different. Mr. Chan had White employees, but to me, he respected them but was more guarded. I never saw him or his family outside of the restaurant (other than his school-age daughter). When Covid hit, he the business.

What I witnessed was primarily between Mr. Chan, owner of a very successful restaurant, his Black employees, and my father. My father was a well-known attorney. There was a clear, mutual respect between them. They identified with each other. Mr. Chan employed my wife’s uncle for years.

I watched it today. There are some real and I interesting layers in the plot. I grew up 70 miles from Clarksdale, and some of the interactions between the Black and Chinese characters reminded me of similar interactions I witnessed back home.

We may have to use this drop-in daycare. They’re open until 10pm on weekends, but we’ll probably go during the day. My oldest is 11 and knows what’s above board, so he keeps an eye on his siblings when we take them.

Another huge ruling! The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just DENIED the government's motion for a stay in the trans military ban case. The government CANNOT enforce it's ban on transgender people in the military still. BIG day for pro-transgender rulings.

I mention this because words matter a lot here. If we are going to release information to the public, and having learned from the pandemic, we have to discuss knowns, unknowns, and multiple populations (and more).

“Autism on the rise” is a potentially misleading phrase. It makes strong assumptions about measurement that we probably shouldn’t make. Part of the issue is that most are focusing on children while ignoring adults. Focusing on kids is understandable, but we risk operating w/o a clear baseline.

Is anyone studying content creators and their relationships with social media platforms? I create bbq content for fun, and I’ve been stuck just under 5K followers for months. It’s obvious they want me to pay for ads to get to 5K. My engagement is down no matter what I do. Interesting thing here…

Most Americans have rarely been in a position to add food to their baskets without consequence. Shopping for groceries requires a balance of desire and cost-saving strategy. This behavior is one of the foundations of brand competition, especially store brands. I doubt 47 understands any of this.
020
Lars U. Johnson @larsujohnson.bsky.social · 07/04/2025
47 keeps defining groceries as if it’s a novel concept. He’s incapable of appreciating the difference between $100 in groceries 10-20 years ago versus today because he’s never needed to shop for his own food and supplies. Instead of asking about prices, ask him how he’s saved money in the store.

Mike Johnson may be the worst of the capitulating GOP. His lack of affect and willingness to lie and mislead in the name of 47 is sickening. He knows better and chooses positioning rather than support of the American people. The “great project” was nothing more than a fever dream if this continues.

Someone will say the researchers or study participants were paid protestors. Not sure how you retroactively pay people that received citations (or didn’t) and are now part of an archival dataset, but that doesn’t seem to matter much now.
