As part of the nominating team, I cannot be happier for my intellectual role models and mentors for this long-overdue recognition. Here is to more!

Looking back on a difficult year in some ways, I also realize it has been exceptionally good for my research/publications, with many things falling into place.
So, I just wanted to express deep, pure gratitude to editors and referees involved in those processes: thank you!

I also do MMT (Mickey Mouse Theory)

It's called "blind review" because sometimes the reviewer is literally blind to what the paper actually does.

I have compiled a very imperfect preliminary list of monetary/macro people I’ve found so far on this site.

RFK Jr. comes ‘home’ to his anti-vaccine group, commits to ‘a break’ for U.S. infectious disease research He has suggested without evidence that researchers and pharmaceutical companies are driven by profit to neglect chronic conditions.

I think he misuses the word "intuition". Intuition is what comes after you have done the math. The "intuition" people have without math is just a hunch (the elaborated version of which is actually BS). So I'd say no intuition without math.

Musk's despicable comments on Ukraine are yet another, Nth sign that Europe needs to, pardon my French, get its s*** together and step (the f___) up!

Does Trump own a horse?

Quick, someone please compute a Kardashian index based on Bluesky followers so I can look like a serious academic.

Incredible graph. I reposted it and @fvelde.bsky.social made a very astute observation: why is it not exactly symmetric around (0,0)?

good catch! It kind of is, which is why--having looked but superficially--I saw no red flag. But it is true there is a difference, and I wonder if there's some funky re-weighing going in the background, or what drives that. Perhaps the original poster could chip in.

Nice new threading tool? Some book covers you never knew you needed.

This is an incredible picture

Wait, where's all the soft-porn and self-sabotage recipes?

Is this the place to escape X propaganda, with its side servings of soft-porn, dumb "self-help", "masculinity" recipes and crypto ads?

Hope to find that back here!
