I have very few interesting stories to tell, so I quip. Things aren’t as bad as they seem — they’re worse. There is no 4th neutrino.

Is it bad that we've only gotten to the hype man and the player intros on Opening Day and I'm now rooting for a lockout?

@jasonfurman @marthagimbel The more I learn about any Bronte, the more impressive they become.👏

On a scale of 1 to 10 my jealousy about @marthagimbel writing this piece is a 9.
(Years ago Martha made me read North & South, I guess now I also beed to read Shirley.)

Many of us are trying to figure out where the AI labor market transition may be going. But that's fundamentally unknowable. So instead of trying to predict the future we can instead look back to try to figure out what may be coming...by reading 19th c english literature 1/

Another day, another poll — this one by @BerkeleyIGS and my friends at the @latimes — that finds two Republicans leading the field for California governor: latimes.com/california/sto…

Bam Adebayo 81 piece! Tied with Kobe with 85 seconds left. This has been one of the most memorable NBA games I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of them)

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

Here are my probabilities and the average of the 23 responses I tracked across social media channels.
Note my mean is about 2.3% (using a slightly finer and more approximate distribution within the cells).

I wrote down my probabilities and will share them later. What are yours?

@TheOldGlobe’s staging of Bartleby is *so* good, you’d be foolish to miss it. Brilliant writing, direction, cast, staging, sound design — all of it. Just go.

I would call this "Liberation Day" except the term is already taken.
Other ideas?

@jasonfurman Interesting take. You’re right on that line between economic analysis as art/science . 🙂
English
Perhaps the best case for the pejorative "frozen" job market as opposed to the complimentary "secure" job market is the increase in the share of unemployment that is long term.
But I'm still uncertain & would be interested in better arguments/evidence.
English
Calling the job market as "frozen" sounds pejorative. One data point supporting this: the hiring rate is what it was in the Great Recession.
But separation rates also near the lowest on record, as are layoff/discharge rates. Should we call the job market secure?

Ossoff speaking in a church calling Trump "a spiritually broken president." #GASen
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

@TweetBenMax @rtraister What?? His mother is Mira Nair?? Good golly I simply have not been paying enough attention.

This poll from CBS News/YouGov contradicts the popular claim that voters think Democrats are as ideologically extreme as Republicans

@carriecoon Dumb greedy bastards are pretty much in charge of everything these days, sadly.

The science is unequivocal: greenhouse gases cause global warming, no matter what those dumb, greedy bastards say.

@sarahkendzior What a lovely, lovely man. I am sorry for your loss. These things have even more dimension when we’ve brushed lives.

This is worth watching. Like everyone in my age group, I’m sad about his death. Be warned: it’s a hard video to watch if you know someone dying of cancer. But he says some beautiful things. I slightly knew James van der Beek when we were kids; we took piano lessons back to back and had mutual friends. It brings me back to that time. RIP, far too soon.
vids that go hard@vidsthatgohard
James Van Der Beek, star of ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ died after a long battle with colorectal cancer. He was 48. This is a video he made telling people about his struggles and what cancer taught him. May he Rest in Peace 🕊️ .

My good pal @Kevin_Nealon has returned. To quote Nietzche: "if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." apple.co/TeamCoco

@gelliottmorris It’s beyond worrisome, actually. Don’t soft-pedal it.
English
There is very likely going to be a blue wave in November 2026. Trump will do what he can to disturb the election and stop Rs from losing the House. It probably won't work, but the probability of a tail outcome is worrisome, and the attempt is the story

I’m not sure how many times this administration can tell us things we saw on video aren’t true.
