California has been hit really hard. This photoessay conveys the extent of the damage from the ongoing storms better than other news stories I've seen. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/10/weather/gallery/california-weather-flooding/index.html

So sorry to hear about Herb Gintis’s death. Here is the podcast I did with him just over a year ago.
RT @snaidunl@twitter.com
Herb Gintis, who was my first mentor in econ, just passed. I'll write more about Herbs brilliance when I've processed this, but here's a link to the Bowles and Gintis festschrift conference (and papers) I organized with @EricVerhoogen@twitter.com and Michael Reich https://econ.columbia.edu/event/ccc2019/
Just found out that my book can be pre-ordered! Release date is October 3, 2023. Text has been finalized, cover is still being designed.

When Twitter debuted, it offered an alternative and challenge to MSM. But that media world is dead -- local news gutted, websites paywalled, cable news siloed into paid streaming outlets. Twitter is where people go to work around a media designed to keep people uninformed.

My grad students designed real t-shirts for our fictional intramural team, The Hydras (symbolizing interdisciplinarity, and I guess perseverance?). I love this.

#chatGPT fails the Wason Selection Task, like most humans, giving an answer which demonstrates confirmation bias
