old school so i fitted my iphone with an analog, gas-fueled zippo and an app that triggers a robotic arm to flick the flint whenever i tap the flashlight icon for those iconic encore/anthem moments at the club.

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.)

halloween costume ideas:
milk crate seeping something foul
everyone but you
an old clown mask but just the smell
a half burn catcher’s mitt
a halloween party that you aren’t at
nothingness in the shape of you
halloween itself

I have an unnatural obsession with player name trends, so indulge me for a few graphs about this season's names. First, the incredible wave of Jalens continues to decrease.

Arriving at the poetry reading wearing chain mail made of interlocked mini pretzels, a helmet hollowed out of olive ciabatta, and wielding a rosemary and sea salt encrusted baguette like a legendary sword. Telling the people in attendance to address me as “Sir Bread” or they will be dispatched.

Research output after tenure drops off a cliff for business, economics, sociology, and other non-lab fields.
But it remains high post-tenure in lab-based fields such as chemistry, physics, computer science, and engineering.

ok but next we need a tool that tells me how awesome the paper is and which parts are the especially awesome parts
Refine is at a completely different level from the other LLM-based review tools I have tried. It not only identified a large number of small errors in my paper, it also correctly identified what I think is the biggest conceptual weakness. Definitely worth trying.
I've been working on a new tool, Refine, to make scholars more productive. If you're interested in being among the very first to try the beta, please read on.
Refine leverages the best current AI models to draw your attention to potential errors and clarity issues in research paper drafts.

Gavin Newsom is not who I would have guessed would rise to meet the moment, but very few people in power are doing so and he's showing that it can be done.
Believe me, I couldn’t be more excited to return to critiquing him on policy someday.
But right now, in this exact moment, Gavin Newsom, is the de facto leader of the free world.
