Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I don’t want to log in to accept a paper review. I’m already asked to review too many papers and time is irritatingly short, so, if you’re making me log in to simply say “yeah, okay,” then I’m out! Make it frictionless we live in the year 2026 goodness gracious. 260

Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Funny enough: I run a…to be fair, two-person…toy design firm and AI can’t design for shit bc if it could then my life would be a lot easier. Without human brain plastic building block toy instructions can’t be made! Please mark invent me an AI that can typeset my instructions. 😭 060
Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 21/07/2026A variation of this debate about economic epistemology happens on social media pretty cyclically and I’m not theres ever really that much gained or lost every time it happens other than people get really weird 110

Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Lovely little passage in The Union War acknowledging that democracy involves political *and* economic freedom. Cc: @kjephd.bsky.social 021

Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 03/06/2026imho ideological language is sanitary bullshit. Call‘em Republicans because they vote with their nominating party nearly every time. 031

Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 30/04/2026above is legitimately funny in light of this. irony is dead. 010
Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 29/04/2026the upshot? diffuse support has cratered among democrats and it has shown signs of softening among republicans, too (late 2024...which updates our data from the AJPS piece). substantive takeaway? the public might just come around to significant reforms if you hammered it. (3/3) 130
Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 29/04/2026we then tested how specific and diffuse support relate to these reforms. turns out ample supplies of diffuse support generate opposition to reform among both democrats and republicans (as past research predicts). but dont sleep on specific support for "modest" reforms like term limits.

Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Here I sit atop the camper, trying to reinstall weather stripping that decided to yeet itself off the rail while driving down the road. Camping is just an elaborate ruse to drain your wallet with tiny moments of memory-making sprinkled in. 050
Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 13/03/2026really interesting stuff. sociologica.unibo.it/article/down... 1133
Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 10/03/2026I have v much enjoyed reading @katz.theracket.news‘ gangsters of capitalism while on sabbatical; it’s helped contextualize how Trump’s graft is simply the distilled endpoint of an inglorious historical legacy of economic ratfucking 1415
Nick Davis @ntd.bsky.social · 05/03/2026working thru proofs for supremely polarizing -- its almost alive! -- and found myself nodding along to this passage given the state of things 2213
