We are doing a pilot survey about how prospective PhD students in PSYCHOLOGY make decisions about applying to grad programs. If you are thinking of applying to a program in the future, and have 2-5 minutes to spare, could you take this survey? 🫶

We've seen attacks on alumni networks, group chats, and specific students here at Harvard.
Just got this email. I do assume that this is how they got into someone at penn gse's email (not confirmed, this is just my hypothesis). Makes me wonder what the plans are at other institutions.

Headline from a serious and long working paper on the economic impact of Brexit. Possible that this has been feeding into OBR and HMT discussions?

lol we DESPERATELY need more economists talking to the public.
This is literally the consensus belief on this website. And because everyone knows it’s the consensus belief, big tastemaker accounts completely refuse to challenge it, because their game is to say things that they know the majority of their audience will agree with. So the falsehood spreads.
defining the economy is capitalist propaganda, as is measuring it with graphs. also, the economy is bad and used to be better and everyone knows it.

Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Telling people to choose between healthcare or food is cruel.
Democrats are considering a Republican deal to reopen government with a promise of a later vote on extending health-care tax credits—but no guarantee.
One Democrat says it'd amount to "unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double."

Genuinely asking here #econtwitter: is inflation bad compared to last year? Haven’t seen the hard numbers yet!
This Black Friday, if you are able, please shop local and small businesses *only.*
Consumers cannot continue rewarding these billionaires. We're helping to fund the architects of this administration and big donors. And they show no signs of ending their cruelty.

Inflation is so bad Americans are counting on Black Friday just to afford groceries and everyday essentials
"Black Friday is still a make-or-break moment for retailers, but shopper behavior is shifting," says Lightspeed Commerce founder and CEO Dax Dasilva.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
