So, I actually weighed one serving of mixed nuts (30 g), and now I know why I’m not losing weight. It is so cruel to pack that many calories in such a low volume. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Well, I’m glad I never left! 👏🏽

I mean, how could you not think of @johncawley.bsky.social as a role model? A true scholar, and a good person. 🌟 Congratulations! 🎉

📢Open science alert📢 New service is being introduced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics for replicating studies based on population-level microdata. This is a great step towards transparency and reproducibility in one of the last bastions of restricted-access research 🙏

Overheard at Chemist Warehouse: “I went to Bali, and I came back with this rash.” Quintessential Australian moment.

Rockpool still got it 💅🏽

ROOSTERS! But man, what a season for the Knights. 👏🏽

Do I use the GAICD post-nominal? I don’t even use Dr before my name. 😅

Anyway, I did a thing. 💅🏽

The Last Ditch lesbian bar in Massachusetts is currently the most famous bar on the planet. If they don’t start selling merch soon and shipping internationally, they deserve to go bankrupt.

Not a tilcayo, but she’ll do

I love it already

I thought it was hilarious to describe someone as “down to earth” while the person is wearing an Hermès tie. 👔

I fear I may have fallen into a Japanese stationery rabbit hole on YouTube. I need to buy every pen, notebook, highlighter, pencil, pencil sharpener, mechanical pencil, sticker, pencil case, sticky note, …

Oh, hey, who’s that guy? youtu.be/4qitnl8WM7Q

Anti-globalists spent decades smashing windows and fighting the WTO with practically zero results. Trump rolled in with arbitrary tariffs and dismantled multilateral trade in an afternoon, dragging the global economy backward into protectionism.

“Everything was in Downloads”. I swear, I died a little.

I’m teaching this semester, and this is truly the GOAT in saving my voice and throat.

Maybe in 20 years, hey.

Today, I learned Keanu Reeves is Canadian. Sorry to the maple syrup people. 🍁

Simon & Garfunkel!

The sound that these BYD cars make when reversing is annoying af.

I’ve been in Sydney over the last couple of days, and it’s a sea of R.M. Williams Craftsman boots. The company somehow turned a rugged Aussie bush boot into the undisputed default uniform for men in business—absolute monopoly on corporate feet.

When there’s a job to be done, no self-respecting Aussie will be distracted by a fly.

It’s the freakin’ weekend imma ‘bout to have me some fuuun 🎉

Always be reppin’

Crestor, here I come!

Jevan Cherniwchan and I have a new working paper—one we’ve been working on for a long time—on how energy transitions shaped societies in the past, and what they may teach us about the present and future. www.ifo.de/DocDL/cesifo...

“Clarice” is terrible, no?

Actually, yes—more people should follow Marc. You might learn something about rucking if not economics.

I concur with everything below. Didn’t we just have Claude come up with a counterexample to disprove the Jacobian conjecture recently? Good ideas are good ideas!

A paper rejection is so much easier to take when the referee reports are of extremely high quality. Thanks, anonymous colleagues!

Watching someone else discover in real-time that a person I can’t stand is, in fact, completely unbearable is better than therapy.

Indeed, shopping on my credit card card is a critical emergency. Successful AusAlert! 👏🏽

Teaching starts this week, so a fresh bottle of Pei Pa Koa is on its way to give my voice a fighting chance. 🥴

Hey Canberra folks, Come along on Saturday arvo, 15th August to the "Live at the Polo". Salonistas (in trio form) putting on a show. Bound to be good. (Seriously, we're pretty good.) www.polishclubcanberra.com.au

Adulthood is booking dinner eight weeks in advance because that’s the earliest open slot in your calendar, right? Right?! 🫠

How do I escape the James Hoffmann coffee videos rabbit hole on YouTube?

Good morning from Wollongong! 🌅

🇪🇸⭐️⭐️

Joey Jay is the definition of “losing is the new winning”.

I, for one, am happy I won’t have to hear Wonderwall for a while.

Calm down. It’s just Wollongong in winter.

Yeehaw! Phenomenal showing from the Blues. 💪🏽

If the Blues lose this game, man… 🤦🏽‍♂️

Can Albo call FIFA and have Australia reinstated, please?

I finished a marathon yesterday, but, anyway, here’s an iconic photo—one for the books—of Alex Eala in her win at Centre Court over reigning Wimbledon champion Iga Świątek.
