magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 28/09/2026Just saw that Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is available for streaming on Hulu. Do yourself a favor and watch it, so good. Sam Rockwell is a national treasure. 020
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 05/07/2026A very sad day for the most beautiful sports in the world. 2101

magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 29/05/2026What you doin'? (What you doin'?) Where you at? (Where you at?) 030
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 20/05/2026A TL cleanser: Here’s BobDylan looking dapper as always. 051
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 20/05/2026Even in shitty days, I’m so happy to be back in NY 💕 030
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 28/02/2026We saw “Good luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” the other day, and I need to recommend it to everyone. Insanely fun (though dark), very appropriate for the times, and how can you not love Sam Rockwell? The best I’ve seen this year so far. 020
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 10/02/2026Dat me! In the middle of the Economics Research Mesa (?) 080
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 09/02/2026Reposting this from the other site just because it’s too good not to share. 061

magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 02/11/2025I was on a crafting kick today, and ended up sewing some sun glasses cases. #procrasticrafting (?) I need to somehow get rid of the stash of fabric I keep accumulating without sufficient output. 041
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 31/10/2025BobDylan got a ball pit all to himself! #HappyBirthday 🎂 050
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 30/10/2025It’s BobDylan’s birthday today. 5 marvelous years of this tiny pup being the best boy. (Do not confuse him with the other Bob Dylan, the second coolest one. His birthday is in May). 050
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 17/08/2025Getting back into sewing, made BobDylan a copy of his Japanese bow tie (the shitty version, of course). We might add these to the fall collection of #BobsShittyBandanas. I’ll keep you posted. 000
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 13/06/2025The world is all fucked up, but today was a big day, so we celebrate. 060
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 17/05/2025I’m not very fast, but I’m stubborn AF. Brooklyn Half ✅😑 71344
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 09/04/2025It’s not secret at all! Hmu for your dog bandana needs, and I’ll ship you some for free. My goal is for all dogs to be #DogsInBandanas. 031
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 08/04/2025Another happy client of #BobsBandanas cc @lukestein.com 111
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 07/04/2025I feel like you maybe could use the multi-person event for this? 010
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 06/04/2025Just finished running a 10-miler and forgot to braid my hair. Now I’m going to spend the rest of my Sunday untangling this mess. 030
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 05/04/2025A timeline cleanser for everyone. This is BobDylan, who always looks at me with his “Whatcha doin’?” face. 0363
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 29/03/2025The most painful 10mi run, but at least we got pretty views. 0100

magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 18/03/2025I kept forgetting to do this, but finally removed twitter from my website and replaced it with the good place (good-er place?) 0230
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 13/03/2025Great methods session this morning with Sophie Litschwartz, @catherinematah.bsky.social, and Edward Kim. All their papers were super interesting and you should check them out #AEFP2025 021
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 26/02/2025I mean… he does polling? But this is a lost battle. Ask @instrumenthull.bsky.social 060
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 16/01/2025If some teams discriminate, how much does that cost them? I do some sims under a scenario where teams randomly choose a QB with a similar HS performance to the one I observe. Teams that are more likely to discriminate would increase their prob of winning significantly if they didn't (6.5%) 6/n 110
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 16/01/2025Ok, but it could be that recruiters are trying to maximize the performance of _the team_.. so they track non-white QBs to other positions (most likely, a wide receiver (WR)). However, it doesn't appear like HS Top QBs are better WR than... WRs. In fact, it appears like they are worse 5/n 120
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 16/01/2025Ok, non-white QBs are less likely to be recruited.. so what? Maybe they are worse? Not according to the data 📊 They have diff play styles (e.g. pocket passers vs dual threats), but QBs of color still tend to outperform white QBs in relevant measures 4/n 120
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 16/01/2025To keep things short, there is a significant diff in recruitment (for both the transition to college and to the NFL), which is probably not surprising to anyone that has watched football. One interesting thing is that for HS recruitment, there results are moderately robust to hidden bias 🤓 3/n 120
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 16/01/2025🚨Working Paper Alert🚨 "QB or Not QB? Measuring Discrimination in Football Labor Markets" TL;DR I find that there is significant discrimination when recruiting QBs from HS to college (and from college to the NFL!) based on their race.. and this costs teams wins🏆 and money💰 1/n 3319
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 18/12/2024I’m still tweaking this, but come on, `modelsummary` and `tinytable` make gorgeous tables 😍 0200
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 08/12/2024I find it very useful for large simulations or code that takes a while and, until now, I was just sourcing the R script that I had created… but because of @vincentab.bsky.social’s course, I now put it into an actual package. Be nice, though… it’s my first try. 2/2 160
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 14/11/2024Also, a post from end of April (04/25) from the other site… Oh, being young and naive… 030
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 09/11/2024With baking, I’ve taken them to the office and leave them in the kitchen with mysterious notes (?). I also like sewing. Every dog I know has a #BobDylansShittyBandana 000
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 05/11/2024To be clear, it’s 8pm here. But I highly recommend to start drinking. #VotingDay PS: It’s also Kyle’s birthday, so I’m hoping for the greatest present. 190
