Whether you think this game handles it well or not (I think it largely does!) there's SO much to unpack in here about mothers! Daughters! Sisters! Adoption! an entire abortion side quest! Women nurturing and women fighting and women fucking shit up! WE DESERVE MORE WRITING ON THIS.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Just got the best out-of-office message I've ever seen from a fellow academic:

"I am currently away on leave. If this is an emergency... well, I doubt it. What could possibly be an emergency in my line of work?"

thank you Anthony Scaramucci for this extremely relatable analogy about people buying bitcoin on margin
“The margin is a spear coming out of the steering wheel of your sports car, and you’re in the south of France on an icy road in the mountain terrain by Monaco,” said SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci in an interview. “And when you need to hit the brake, that’s when the leverage hurts you the most.”

Your mileage may vary, but if the instruments are weak as you say, and you correctly specify the estimators (modulus the desk drawer problem, which I don’t view as particularly worse here than other IV settings), then it should reduce the number of implausible claims.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a pointless fight over the Star Wars sequels. I’ll throw a discourse rock at the proverbial window for something to do.

*ahem*

Luke Skywalker did nothing wrong scaring the shit out of his punk nephew for having a Nazi phase except not going far enough.

Sure but that’s a concern you could flag with any research design, and if that’s your primary concern there’s other nice papers trying to address that. If anything, our suggestions will tend to be more honest in estimating correct standard errors

Beautiful article on Ali Riley who has retired after an amazing career in soccer.

(If her last name sounds familiar to you as an economist, then that's no surprise. She's the daughter of UCLA auction theorist John Riley.)

Excited to post a new working paper with @instrumenthull.bsky.social and Michal Kolesár: arxiv.org/abs/2511.03572

Will post a thread on it soon, but if you're interested in judge/examiner designs, I think you'll find this guide very helpful!
