Knicks: best record in the league 🏀

Reposted by Aaron Sojourner, Damon Jones

Steven Durlauf @durlauf.bsky.social · 20d

I invite you to listen to this conversation with my wonderful colleague @nomadj1s.bsky.social,
Associate Director of @ucstonecenter.bsky.social, in which we explore the many interesting facts of his research ranging from racial inequality to consumer behavior.

UChicago | Stone Center on Wealth Inequality & Mobility @ucstonecenter.bsky.social · 21d

It’s not every day we interview one of our own directors on the Podcast, but when we do, it’s worth a listen. @durlauf.bsky.social talks with @nomadj1s.bsky.social about household finance, UBI, editing a special issue of the JEL, and what an individualistic perspective might omit.

Maybe I stand corrected:

Damon Jones @nomadj1s.bsky.social · Apr 24

But I still contend that Big elevated the status of Coogi …

Damon Jones @nomadj1s.bsky.social · Apr 24

Ok I’m seeing some archival pics …

Damon Jones @nomadj1s.bsky.social · Apr 24

I remember all of those items, but not Coogi, maybe I was too broke …

Damon Jones @nomadj1s.bsky.social · Apr 24

That is true!

Damon Jones @nomadj1s.bsky.social · Apr 24

I’m thinking Biggie put them on the map, that was late ‘94 - ‘95 …not ‘92, right?

Damon Jones @nomadj1s.bsky.social · Apr 24

Yeah, he made it pop, but he wasn’t known until late ‘94-‘95… not ‘92 right?

Damon Jones @nomadj1s.bsky.social · Apr 23

One nitpick: I don’t know if Coogi was poppin’ like that in ‘92

Damon Jones @nomadj1s.bsky.social · Apr 23

OMG SINNERS …

They don’t want race used
taught, or studied in higher Ed, or K12, AND are upset that a Smithsonian museum claims that race is a social construct and not a biological trait 🤔

The Trump administration has canceled a 60-year-old civil rights rule that banned federal contractors from engaging in racial segregation.

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts

The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.
