i? Imaginary 🗿 i^i? Real 💀 The first time you hear about this result is the moment that you fall in love with maths or the moment that you start to hate it. Cardano definitely chose the second option. 🧵[1/2]

I've changed my lectures in the following ays: in-Person quizzes, paper tests, make take-home assignments harder, no laptops in class, grade attendance, handwritten submission and additional class-wide assignments if someone uses LLM on an assignment.

This figure is striking. It shows the relationship between where people think they are in the income distribution and where they actually are. Observations below the line indicate that people think they are poorer than they really are (and the reverse above the line). What

Congrats, Jumbo! 👏 🦈 Joe Thornton has been named to the NHL Quarter-Century Team.

Many were quick to dismiss the “Vibe-cession” as purely a mismatch of consumer sentiment and top line figures, but emerging research shows that the economy was showing robust signs of weakness long before the policy uncertainty of the current administration.

“Surely, there’s a plan.” Literally a few weeks ago:

80 years of the Phillips curve and what policy did about it, in one graph. Creating highly design-oriented visualizations in R/Python can be tricky, especially to incorporate custom legends, but this was a fun exercise and I like the color palette. #EconX #EconTwitter

Thank you to everyone for your energy and enthusiasm in joining this adventure with me so far!

it was actually so easy to have a "working class tax cut" well-off people would like too: a couple/household earning say $336,000 are taxed at the 35% rate for $$ above $250k. but would've also further benefit from low(er) rates on the income that falls within the lower brackets!

A cancer lab having to start a GoFundMe is insane. This is Trump’s America — where billionaires get tax cuts and researchers beg for funding.

The "No Tax On Tips" provision of the Republican budget bill won't help many tipped workers (and it expires). Couple that with the bill's cuts to Medicaid/food assistance, and tipped workers fall even further behind. What we should really do is get rid of the subminimum wage.

I too long for more light conversation but it’s impossible to have lighter conversations when there’s real problems. And part of how we got here is that academics cared too much about Wordle and not nearly enough about solutions to non-academic problems.

Policy economists in the U.S. should be chiefly concerned with how —in the span of 2 generations— we let an economy devolve into nearly total unaffordability. Until then I’m going to boo every paper about the indentification strategy of retweeting job market papers. #econtwitter
