@PitcherList Did we stop doing podcasts for the team by team SP breakdowns? Understood the incredibly busy time and appreciate the strong output from @PitcherList — but this was a great format/vehicle and just want to adjust expectations. The last team SP review podcasts promised more.

This paper in Management Science has been cited more than 6,000 times. Wall Street execs, top govt officials, and even a former U.S. Vice President have all referenced it. It’s fatally flawed, and the scholarly community refuses to do anything about it. statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2026/01/22/aki…

@agraybee Vacation time has monetary value. Common practice in corporations for positions requiring higher education is to vacation as part of the compensation package — and pay out the accrued, unused vacation time when an employee departs. So, actually that is how $ works.

You can't just tack an imaginary $16,000 onto someone's salary. That's not how money works.

@RationalMale @TheTinMenBlog 💯 Men know how to build communities for men. Activists spent the last 30 years systematically dismantling men-only spaces. The few communities that remain are frequently subject to ridicule and criticism among the popular media.

@TheTinMenBlog It is the height of female Gynocentric hubris that these children still believe that men should experience the world as women do. WE ARE NOT THE SAME. Men and women do NOT process emotion the same. Stop holding men to a female-correct standard. psypost.org/brain-imaging-…

Good lord, please, no more entitled women, who have quite literally zero direct experience on the issue, speaking about #MaleLoneliness on podcasts. Loneliness is arguably the most important factor associated with male suicide, which in turn, is the number one risk to my life, as well as all men under 50. This framing of male loneliness as a 'skills gap', has to be one of the most backward facing, tone deaf takes I've ever heard in my life. And yet, these deranged boss-sisters blabbering into microphones, are holding it up as a 'nuanced' and 'progressive' point of view?! Are you joking? Just imagine if we framed the societal conditioning of women, and the negative impacts it has on them, as 'a skills gap'. "Women not being assertive... is really just a skills gap" "Women expected to look a certain way... is just a skills gap" "Women being pressured into becoming a stay at home mum... is just a skills gap" So many academics are trying to study the harmful rhetoric of 'the Manosphere', the Red Pill, and Andrew Tate etc, but nobody has the guts to take on these equally corrosive, equally dumb ideas that are being barfed out by the other side. Look girls – I've learnt to take a seat and listen to women, when they talk about "women's issues"; and guess what kween, there's a seat right here for you, to sit quietly and listen to men talk about theirs too. But who knows... maybe their inability to listen, and desire to centre themselves in all conversations, is a 'skills gap' too?

@andybehrens You need to know - you are bigger than Yahoo, Andy.

I’ve been incredibly lucky to never have to write one of these terrible posts, but the luck ran out today. This is my final week at Yahoo Sports. (Honestly, I'm lucky to have survived the Montee Ball fiasco of 2013—every day since has been a gift.)

@asymmetricinfo There is a difference between Tax Rates and Tax Revenue. The reduction of rates can result in increased tax revenue, as corresponding volume increases as well secondary, tertiary effects.

So, um, what happens to the interest rates on federal debt if foreigners have fewer export-generated dollars to invest in treasuries? Asking for a friend who has a $2 trillion budget deficit, debt equal to 100 percent of annual income, and trillions of new tax cuts they'd like to finance.

@catgyoung @Timothy98537991 @joshuasweitz This logical fallacy is exactly what leads to unsustainable spending and multi-trillions in debt. Administrative cuts are feasible; Private funding sources are available. That’s the 2nd logical fallacy — projecting a 1-1 result without accounting for response or innovation.

@Timothy98537991 @joshuasweitz The NIH budget is less than 1% of the federal budget.

NIH funding cuts could cost the U.S. $16 Billion and 68,000 jobs. An interactive tool from @joshuasweitz and team shows the local impact across the U.S. - down to the county level. This isn’t abstract - these numbers affect real communities and real lives: scienceimpacts.org

@merci @ClareMalone 538 stopped being 538 with Nate and Clare

This was like, the first piece I ever wrote at 538!

@FlyWithLEVEL Level FLT BCN-BOS April 8 -CANCELLED at the gate. It took HOURS to get back through passport security to the ticket area. LEVEL left our checked luggage unsecured/unattended at baggage claim. It’s been almost a week - zero communication! Claim submitted - still no response!

@MeganCBarry Inflation destroys these “gains”

Are you better off than you were four years ago? Four years ago the Dow Jones hit a low of 19k. Today, it’s at 38k. Unemployment was at 4.4% then. Today, it's at 3.7%. 15 million new jobs in 3 years. Unemployment at a 50 year low. I’d give that a resounding YES #SOTU

This isn't good, folks. Especially with not knowing why. wsj.com/health/healthc… @Brabbott42

@mfariacastro @bethrites @EricTopol @Brabbott42 Screening rates generally LOWER - especially for the young. Huge drop during COVID never came back as high as anticipated. With improved precision on cancer risk factors — generic screenings w/o risk indications declined. Increased incidence is not due to screening.

@bethrites @EricTopol @Brabbott42 My point is that screening technology is much better these days. Even if there is less screening, we may be detecting many more cases that we missed in the past.

@chrissyfarr It's almost as if health is a multifactorial outcome in a constantly changing environment with multiple intervention attempts, unobservable influences and zero scientific controls.

The thing no one talks about in digital health is that since we've all been at it, the key markers of health have for the most part gotten worse & not better: - rates of chronic disease - life expectancy - mental health diagnoses - maternal mortality - cost & more

@RichWilsonP361 @spreaker Great review - thank you. Check out Cam's monthly stats. Turned his season around in the last 2 months. Aug+Sep = 311/453/420. Long adjustment to level makes sense given age. Some reason for optimism.

@mikemayer22 @oneshiningmets Making “good on paper” individual transactions is far easier than executing successful team construction to win through the season and be competitive in the postseason

@oneshiningmets I still don’t think he’s a top baseball exec on a good team.

I’ve certainly been critical of Billy Eppler and his front office, but I think they’ve done great in the returns for David Robertson and Max Scherzer. Top 50 MLB prospect, Top 100ish MLB prospect, and a Top 15 team prospect.

@RichWilsonP361 As long as it’s not Madoff’s hedge fund (where the Wilpons put their Bonilla savings and much more) 😂

Yep...the time value of money says this was a great deal at the time for the Orioles and Mets. You can invest the money owed in safe-yielding instruments (even MyGA annuity or buffered ETF) and make out quite well. Then again, the bad PR might erase all that.

@RichWilsonP361 High performance talent (eg top 0.1 %) in nearly every industry earn substantial $$ decades after they leave the job in one form or another Joe Public doesn’t know that MLB players aren’t getting anything that’s “special” given their talent level in their field. Long overdue.

@RichWilsonP361 Non-profit healthcare c-suite ( >$1 billion in revenue) comp packages include SIRP (supplemental retirement plan) that enable big big $$ to be competitive with for-profits and not draw bad press attention. Very similar tactic.

Actually, deferred comp. plans are great and it's a shame that more employers don't offer them. It's nice to reduce your taxes while working and even better to have it fund a stream of income after you retire.

@robbiebaseball1 @dingerspod Awesome! Great stuff - look forward to it. Huzzah.

@HealthDataSci @dingerspod The updated rankings are coming shortly. As tge dynasty episodes on @dingerspod drop I’m finalizing the order
