- Reposted by Alfredo PaloyoRussia hit a passenger train with Shahed drones. 291 passengers on board. This is Russian terror.
- I have no idea how the most basic thing—unmasking these people with guns on the streets of American cities—seems to be so difficult to do. Can someone explain this to me? Who—if anyone—is leading the case to stop these people from wearing masks?

- Editorial Manager asking for an “overall manuscript rating (1–100)” is so dumb. Does anyone actually put a number in there?!
- I’m not sure what Libor is saying here, but I’m reposting it for the solid photo. 👏🏽

- He does so many crazy things that literally kidnapping the head of government of another country *less than a month ago* is not on the front page of every newspaper.

- Reposted by Alfredo PaloyoNEW PAPER! We know that lead exposure is bad, but where is it all coming from? We show that used lead-acid battery recycling is likely much more important than previously thought - perhaps 1/3 of exposure in LMICs.

- I’m fairly certain this was literally the lunch price when I was still a student in Essen, which was nearly 20 years ago. “Inflation? I’ve never heard of her.”

- And then there’s Apple Music. You ask Siri to play a song, and in many cases, it gives you a remixed version or a version from another artist, not the original. Like, what? Shouldn’t the original be the default instead of some unheard-of remix? It’s just all so stupid with Siri. 🤦🏽♂️
- Is this the start of Siri being functional? No more “Hmm—something went wrong,” or “There was a problem with the connection”? There must be a case study on how Apple dropped the ball on Siri/AI out there. www.theverge.com/news/860521/...

- Third, it's true: some immigration researchers' choices do bias their results. A key example is Borjas (2006). Peri & Sparber (2011) show that Borjas chose a regression specification that generated spurious negative correlation between immigration & native employment. doi.org/10.1016/j.ju...
- So, now that I’m po(a)sting again (occasionally) on Bluesky, can someone please tell me how to change the date format from the nonsensical MM/DD/YYYY to the more elegant DD/MM//YYYY?
