This was EXCELLENT

Really great advice from one of the best writers in the field.

My phone has never once popped the air quality on the home screen (alerts as notifications, sure). Maybe it's never been above Code Red where I live. This is fine

I still have a blue glass bicentennial mug from Jack in the Box.

Great paper, exciting to see it in print. I'm always interested in papers on strategic behavior in environmental policy.

Big fan of this paper and I'm glad it found a home. Environmental infrastructure spending is understudied compared to its budget.

Had an amazing time at the utility disconnections workshop last week organized by @energyjustlab.bsky.social. Thanks so much to David, Sanya,and Alison. A big takeaway for me is how much I learned from qualitative researchers in the area. Sheesh they know so much.

This is really great and paired well with a seminar yesterday by @stephanieweber.bsky.social on heavy duty trucks, which are also passed along as they age. Too much to think about!

This looks amazing! I registered.

I thought those were CAFOs at first glance. FFS.

I've thought way too much about this, but it's either Colin Angle (not famous by name, but invented the Roomba) or Huh Yunjin of Le Sserafim.

Time to watch Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 again. He's so very hilarious in it. 😭

I can't help but think that this might have been prevented if @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social could be bothered to do anything.

I thought this was very helpful in thinking about using LLMs for coding.

I attended the lecture by Hendren and Sprung - Keyser and it was excellent!

Late to the party but on Amtrak to Philadelphia for the #ASSA2026. Feel free to say hi!

I was recently told that I have "gravitas."

Amazing game that I've played far too much of.

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.
