The chance of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting out planet in 2032 is now 1.5%, or 1 in 67.

The OVERWHELMING likelihood is that the asteroid will miss Earth.

But for the first time ever, we might have to seriously consider a deflection mission soon.

Let me explain. 🧵 (1/x)

Are young men and women in Europe becoming more polarized in their political ideologies?
It depends. Across 32 countries:
14 show no meaningful gender gap
7 have a stable small to medium gap with women leaning more left
11 show widening modern gender gaps

What explains recent declines in income inequality in the European Union? Despite rising within-country inequality from 2007-2019, EU-wide inequality declined sharply due to upward convergence in market earnings among its poorest member states. More here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New paper: We combine evidence from a survey (correlational), bank spending data, and online experiments to show that job loss increases risk taking.

Joint work with @abbysussman.bsky.social, Carlos Vazquez-Hernandez, Daniel O'Leary, and Jennifer Trueblood
Job loss increases financial risk-taking. People who lost their jobs during the pandemic were more likely to gamble and purchase more lottery tickets, on average, than people who had not lost their jobs. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

4/ Key finding 1:
Sentiment toward finance varies starkly across countries and over time. English texts (US/UK) show the most positive sentiment, while Russian texts are consistently negative. Historical events (crises, wars) visibly influence trends.

This paper is fascinating. A three-year field experiement in which a 1000 low income Americans get $1000 a month. The tl;dr conclusion is that it basically has zero effect on their political views or participation.
