Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

the arc of discourse is long but it bends towards burrito

huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 4d ago

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

This is the high stakes political commentary I am here for.

The first work requirement-related disenrollments begin in Nebraska on Saturday. While the state Medicaid director estimates this will impact 200 Nebraskans, advocates are concerned that the number wi...

Can't stop thinking about how like 15 years ago the caricature of social media was a place where you overshared trivial personal details and played Farmville. How far we've come (pejorative).

I've decided that semi-professional academic Bluesky is dead, gonna start posting a lot more random bullshit here. But still tag me whenever there's a new DiD estimator.

Artists! If you’re reading this and considering buying that new piece of gear you feel like you *need* to take your art to the next level, take some advice from me: you’re right. You should buy it. It’ll probably make you almost instantly better. Hard to imagine you’ll progress much without it

I designed a new t-shirt about the innate tensions of living in the desert. Maybe that doesn't relate to you now, but it will. If you don't live in the desert now, you will in the future. roryblank.bigcartel.com

Now I can show this to my kids when I randomly let one of them choose the car song. These lemmas should satisfy them.

Random Priority—a popular no-transfer allocation mechanism—is efficient, fair, & simple to participate in. Is it the only mechanism with these properties? Marek Pycia @econ.uzh.ch and Peter Troyan, UVA Economics, answer this long-standing question in the positive. buff.ly/zlSjmC0

My paper is out today in PNAS documenting how ICE activity in Trump 2.0 compares to the last 10 years and the mismatch between the action and the rhetoric. Joint with the fabulous @caitlinpatler.bsky.social and @elizabethacox.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Writing a paper introduction is more art than science, but a good formula gets you most of the way there. Today's blog post: a paragraph-by-paragraph template that is used pretty commonly, plus the mistakes I see most often. 🧵 #EconSky deryugina.com/a-two-for-on...

I will be presenting in the NBER Household Finance Summer Institute session this Friday at 1pm on "Using AI in Household Finance Research: A Practical Guide." www.nber.org/conferences/...

Earlier this summer I got to talk with Kevin Landers at CBS about AI in medical technology, how that fits in with the FDA's larger approach to regulating medical devices, and what it means for clinical care. www.10tv.com/article/news...

Kalshi recently opened prediction betting markets for clinical trials and drug approvals. It's intriguing, but in my view also risks weakening the integrity of trials and worsening participant dropouts. Short post by me:

1/ I read it. Fascinating. On a surface level there are many things to like, incl faster review times and trying to fund investigators taking new directions. There are also some things that are troublesome, like moving away from life sciences and anti-immigrant bent.

Dang, scrolled LinkedIn for like 5 minutes and saw some good posts on how to handle covariate selection in DiD, managing AI in peer review, and a FDA review times. LinkedIn might have the sauce at this point 🙃

Let me put the call out: if you are a researcher with any interest in collaborating on a newsy research project PLEASE send that pitch my way. I am happy to work with you and get original, news-making research published at STAT.
