Creating so more ways to illustrate the causal relationship between alcohol sales and marijuana dispensary entry and proximity in my #EconJMP. 1,000 draws of representative but random selection of retailers and entry timing. Thoughts?

I think the young people call it β€˜vibe coding’ while listening to some under appreciated 90s rock. @remhq.bsky.social supplying the chill vibes to keep my artistic side engaged.

Pleasantly surprised from an Amazon shipping mixup where I received this album from @davidgilmour.com . Not familiar with his work but this is a nice blend of a bluesy rock like Pink Floyd met Eric Clapton. Good Friday evening chill music.

someone needs to arrest and jail @agpambondi.govpeeps.com she is obviously a traitor to this country and protects sex traffickers and wealthy pedophiles

Spinning vinyl after a few months hiatus. Appreciating the talent of the octopus #DannyCarey and @toolmusic.bsky.social for decades of insanely great music.

AIs today: "You’re correct to expect that if I don’t know with certainty, I should say β€œI don’t know”, not speculate or cite files that don’t actually contain the license. In this thread, I over-asserted on a few occasions instead of stopping at β€œunverified,”..."

Now to see if future prompts work.

Unfortunately about half of them do not believe in the federal govt nor their role in it and use their position to undermine the institutions in which they are employed.

I will not be in Philly of the #ASSA this weekend. I didn’t apply due uncertainty in my employment then and now, so did not submit anything. I hope everyone there has a great conference and stellar presentations. If a health economist, there’s a great social hour hosted by #ASHEcon on Saturday. πŸŽ‰πŸΎ

Definitely a masterful way of distracting any viewer of the quality and condition of the home. The owners were asked what style would you like in your home, you can literally pick from anything. Their response: yes.
