I feel like this is the sort of thing Jesse Shapiro used to have on his web site, but I seem to have imagined that.

Does anyone have recommendations to share on crafting the job market paper spiel? or has that gone by the wayside in the post-hotel interview era? #EconSky

this morning after I dropped off my toddler I walked by a line of slightly older toddlers who recognized me and started telling me about their costumes

I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world.

If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.

Not that anyone asked be but I feel like a lot of the “ai layoffs” are garden variety slowing economy layoffs that are using AI as market friendly air cover

lol "I hate economists" and the only economists you know are problematic folks who fire off takes like diarrhea.

Broaden your palate and start following economists beyond Fenty Shade 290.

I know it’s not my city and I loved the Blue album as much as anyone but I don’t think that the lead singer of Weezer is qualified to be mayor of NYC

After a huge post-election flip in economic perceptions, I thought Democrats and Republicans might be lying to pollsters to send a partisan message — but I was wrong!

The Python Software Foundation was recommended for a $1.5M grant from the National Science Foundation. The terms of the award said PSF could not work on DEI, whether or not the grant funding was used for it.

PSF therefore declined the funding.

Science suffers, but commitment to core values remains

Python Software Foundation @python.org · 3d

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...
