May your errors be normally distributed, may your identification strategies be sound, and may your code/data be public, amen.
A picture of the Author of this sky (tweet?) standing in front of the Hallgrímskirkja, which kind of looks like a normal distribution.

Student evals are always fun. What is an Alot? This one apparently was an Alot of Reading, which sounds kind of like a DnD item.
Student eval of a collegiate course. It reads "ALOT OF READING" instead of "A LOT OF READING"

It is absolutely fucking bonkers that Trump won more of the vote than he ever had less than half a year ago and now he is less popular than he’s ever been, all on the strength of shit he was promising loudly to do when people elected him.

Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.

New paper with @dianamejordan.bsky.social and sky-less Trent Ollerenshaw! We provide large-N tests of repeated measure designs in survey experiments, showing that they slightly attenuate ATEs relative to post-only designs, but provide large gains to precision. Thread below.

Preprint: osf.io/q6czp
Figure 4 providing a graphical summary of the main results of the study: a slight attenuation of average treatment effects from a repeated measure design, and large reduction in the ATEs' standard errors (improved precision).

Ah yes, who could forget the obvious distinction between being an antisemite and "creating the feeling of safe harbor for far-right elements who unabashedly or in coded language express antisemitic sentiments"

The suspect that was arrested in the Magdeburg attack is a far-right extremist, a supporter of the AfD and Tommy Robinson. It is people like Robert Jenrick who empower these extremists. See how his talking points are identical to those that Jenrick still tweeted yesterday.
