This Gen Xer got a little punchy and feisty this morning answering the Q&A on Poll Everywhere in the review yesterday Maybe a little how Harrison Ford feels when an interviewer asks him ... anything? Got that sense from his Fresh Air interview

Sign of the times that the wording seemed a little too evocative of a political mailing list

Killer chart! I think the story is about independents If the survey “has way too many Democrats” one could simply reweight the results because party is asked. The 7-year overlap comparison of phone and internet collection suggests this isn’t mostly about mode www.wsj.com/economy/cons...

Same way any American sees it. Great love for the Israeli people, head scratching about the current PM and cabinet. And exactly why are you asking me about *Israel* and not any other U.S. ally? Does it rhyme with “grant my phlegm a prism?”

This photo makes me so sad for our country Podcasters aren’t policymakers. They probably shouldn’t be in the Oval Office. Admittedly, this is better than Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, or Laura Loomer. That isn’t saying much. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/s...

Here’s an interesting part of Kagan’s dissent, p. 31. It seems to get close to the bad controls point. Michael’s surely correct, with the experience to prove it, but I wonder if Kagan gets it?

How’s that trade deficit, you say? Well we’re past Texas and Florida and looking ahead to Maine!

I went back to The Bad Place to see check on Larry Summers's account, and this screenshot is all I need to know about that failed website

Is it possible to write a headline that makes me want to click on it even less than this one?

Does it help that other people's students might still love it, especially if you tweet about it? Here's my Slide 5 from the instrumental variables module in ECON 140 at Berkeley, quoting an X tweet from you last fall. I think I saw the study only because you had tweeted about it!

A nice moment of levity here with a chalkboard in the weird subterranean passageway under Chemistry (Latimer Hall?) to Pimentel “Stanford” changed to “Stanfarrt” is <chef’s kiss>

Please put the grownups back in charge at NIH. Yes these blue state institutions also have endowments. Does the University of Alabama?

The fascinating strategy of egg pricing at a Trader Joe’s in the SF Bay Area These prices appear to be way below market, like almost half. I’ve heard that their margins come from treats and alcohol, but unless they bought a derivative they’re taking a bath on eggs to get folks in the door

Why does this tableau look like Auric Goldfinger’s announcement to take out James Bond once and for all, with a secretly irradiated turkey presumably
