Damn. Reading all that piledrives a stake through my last shred of motivation for watching part 2. I generally like both Lady Gaga and the first movie, too. What sucks is the movie you've laid out sounds pretty effing cool. Off to the back of the "maybe get around to it someday" line it goes.☹️

Pure awesomeness; would absolutely eat there and be a merch fiend. Burgermeister Meisterburger in the Rankin Bass holiday film Santa Claus is Coming to Town always cracks me up every December when I watch it.

A similar thing happens at government offices when 10+ year agency vets move on. We see names in SAS program comments and docs of people long gone. Too often, annual data production steps become "(person) does this each year" and only (person) knows how to do it until they've left. Then PANIC lolz

This is amazeballs. I remember using that paper when I taught US Econ History and had no idea. Thank you so much for sharing.

My guess is not very long and it's a cascading issue. Consider the missed SEP data. Some 1st closing tasks not done. EDI center can't check 2nd closing data. Sector analyst outliers/atyping? Birth-death? Qs to state LMI shops? etc. Then there's OCT data! The longer it goes, the more it backs up.

Morgado @morgado.bsky.social · 08/10/2025
Whether the respondents are submitting through the EDI center or on IDCF/CATI, ultimately someone on respondent side has to proactively "submit" something. Then, program office has to review. If program office is furloughed, the data can't be used for estimation anyway. www.bls.gov/opub/hom/ces...

To me, what drives that is the establishment surveys (CES, NCS, OEWS, etc.) are payroll surveys counting positions... not persons; administrative from the point of view of the employer records. But with household surveys like ACS, ATUS, CPS, etc it really is "what is this particular person doing?"

Campbell is 86 on the Cowboys, right side of protection (you can see his jersey in the close up). What's crazy is Julius Peppers had ALREADY blocked a FG at the end of the 2Q. Didn't get credited for a block (penalty for running into the kicker) here, but it's wild. www.panthers.com/news/julius-...

I didn't even like the movie much, but 4*Town was amazing. Would pay good monies to see a fake concert behind the scenes D+ thing with the band or have them show up as a cameo in another animated film set around the same time in the early 2000s.

Yep, probably should have gone with the ten peso version.

Adding on some more context - to what @adambonin.bsky.social said below. The water bottle lean back+spit mist is a bit that Triple H did as part of his ring entrance in WWE pro wrestling. The target demo is pro wrestling fans. If you didn't already know who Triple H is, then you're not the target.

This sent me down a weird ass rabbit hole of Bloodsport lore. The Chong Li character is supposed to be a Chinese guy who was from Korea??? So the answer is indeterminate; you can pretty much imagine whichever to be correct in this fictional setting and be right. filmboards.com/t/Bloodsport...
filmboards.com
Chong Li's nationality - Bloodsport

South Korea's flag has four of the trigrams but the Taoist stuff is more likely what Bloodsport was going for, so Chinese probably more appropriate. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagua smarthistory.org/korean-natio...

The blocking traffic example paragraph is outstanding. It is a written out version of everything I think every time I see one of those types of inconvenience-inflicting demonstrations. "You are just pissing people off and turning them against your cause." There's no larger strategy behind any of it.

Yeah, RNs is probably right by detailed SOC. Professions usually subdivide (e.g. K-12 teachers split between K-8 and HS) but not 29-1141 Registered Nurses (3.2m in OEWS). RNs combine high pay + sheer numbers. Most "big" 3m+ 6-digit SOCs are lower-paid like retail salespersons or fast-food workers.

Normally hate Youtube videos, but this genre I enjoy very much: qualified and intelligent people KEEPIN IT REAL. "You'll see the violin plot... and then it'll be like oh and here's just the histogram separately because obviously you can't fuckin read this thing." My favorite explainer vids BY FAR.

The fact they were all in the room/on the call simultaneously mattered. Getting feedback one at a time from each separately is not the same. The interactions *between them* as discussants got MUCH richer feedback and ideas. Even just seeing who was nodding along silently with a speaker was feedback.

Morgado @morgado.bsky.social · 24/03/2025
The kind of feedback we got from TAC and DUAC members when presenting ongoing work and concepts to them was the sort of thing you really couldn't buy even if you wanted to. Big groups of world experts willing to share their thoughts - for free, no less! - so rare and valuable for fed stats programs.
