- Tremendous performances from both players. Alcaraz deservedly goes through. 👏🏽
- This Alcaraz v Zverev match is phenomenal. 🎾
- Royal Commission into the incompetence of strata managers, please.
- 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.
- Hello from the Antipodes. 🇦🇺
- This is perhaps a career-defining (if not era-defining) speech from Carney. 👏🏽
- My god, what leadership! WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER! youtu.be/-9EFPdcSot0?...
- 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.”
- I’ve stopped calling it “presbyopia” and started calling it “font size optimization.” Rebranding my way out of this one.
- Yes, yes—suspended disbelief and all that, but Season 2 of Red Eye is genuinely crazy. One rogue man in the US Embassy in London is killing people left and right, including the ambassador—and, still, he manages to escape the building. C’mon.
- 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/...

- Why settle for one when you could have two lighthouses?
- The heat is genuinely oppressive out here right now, and it’s only going to get hotter as the day progresses. Cool yourselves, people! And watch out for the wildlife. 🥵
- Die notwendige Kurskorrektur zur Wiederherstellung des Vertrauens in die von den USA geführte Weltordnung rückt immer weiter in die Ferne.
- Good evening from Wollongong. 😎
- We are so back. youtube.com/watch?v=VhxI...
- This zinger! 👏🏽
- 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?
- Oh, BTW, Jan is now an Associate Professor—an unsurprising promotion that warms my heart! 🥰 Congratulations! 🎊
- C’mon, man.
- Learning German remains one of the most fulfilling things I ever did. It made integrating into life in Germany immeasurably easier when I lived there. The surname translation phase never really stops though. You just get faster at it.
