Good post by @joshgans.bsky.social on why the scientific publishing system will not collapse from the rise of AI-supported research. open.substack.com/pub/joshuaga...
Congrats!

I could be wrong, but my recollection is that the result is about relative wages (I.e the w/r ratio), not about wage increases per se. Capital could get slammed without labor benefiting.
Incredible.
Person who was fired here - you should still trust BLS data. The agency is being run by the same dedicated career staff who were running it while I was awaiting confirmation from the Senate. And the staff have made it clear that they are blowing a loud whistle if there is interference.
core part of the ostensible economic justification for mass deportation was that Americans would rush in to take all the jobs immigrants left, but now unemployment rates for native born Americans are rising and the admin is sending people out to do damage control
This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.
I am excited to be hiring two post-doctoral positions at UCLA--please share with your networks. www.aeaweb.org/joe/listing.....

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:
JD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled
We finally got gun-control.
This would be a good package. Abolishing ICE wonβt happen now - need unified D control for real reforms. But this will hamstring their operational freedom and itβs reasonable enough that Rβs may be hard pressed to oppose (though Iβm sure most will).
Now do Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem.
I think this is wrong
Itβs not about abolishing immigration enforcement or about getting immigration enforcement out of MN
Saying that is a distraction
Rather, ICE cannot be allowed to become our Gestapo. We need legislation banning masks and paramilitary tactics
Itβs not about abolishing immigration enforcement or about getting immigration enforcement out of MN
Saying that is counterproductive

DHS funding needs to be conditional on statutory reforms about how agents can behave.
There is no reason for ICE and CPB to be masked paramilitaries, exempt from habeus corpus.
No more masks, no unnecessary weapons, complete transparency.
Media: do not lead with the false government framing of what happened
If the Trump administration is antagonistic to your government (or the race of your citizens) do you think Stephen Miller is going to hesitate for even a second before making a big show of arresting your people for sport on US soil?
Itβs not even a boycott, itβs basic caution.
The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

ALL MN PROTESTERS
Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.
If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week
Need unambiguous statements of support by everyone β from Walz and Klobuchar and Smith to Schumer and Jeffriesβ for state and city law enforcement standing up to lawless DHS.

How it started/how it's going
I have also noticed this and view the trend among editors as a response to the limitations of too-clever quasi-experiments and RCTs to get at big questions, especially given cynicism about oversold and non robust studies.
Better data is good, but now editors lean more to βjust show me the dataβ
I had almost all of the books⦠I still think reading Dilbert as a kid is why I never aspired to be an engineer despite my interest in those subjects
