I'm not particularly active on either site any more but to act like BlueSky is some paradise instead of a place where maniacs with oppositional defiant disorder who haven't left their house in 3 years will jump down your throat for the slightest degree of intra-left disagreement is crazy.

Stewart has never been able to think of a joke besides "both sides bad." He should've stayed retired.

I guess a movement built on "one weird trick to ending capitalism!" not giving a shit about anything beyond vibes makes a lot of sense, but I genuinely wonder if this is how center-right folks felt during the rise of the alt-right / MAGA.

Remembering that “actuary” was on Graeber’s list of bullshit jobs really underscores what he meant was “I don’t understand what these jobs do so they must be fake.”

That’s a lot of hubris from a faux academic whose primary output was trite airport books!

Emotion, Divers, and Art Angels released, Trump still a joke, Game of Thrones still good, Star Wars sequels solidly in a "maybe this is going somewhere great" vibe. I yearn for 2015.

So for anyone who may think "Hm, I have a DiD/IV/RDD/etc. social science-y informatics paper with some possible policy implications, where should I send it?" I hope you'll keep HAS in mind.
